An introduction
Hello! Hi, yes, you there! On the other side of the screen! It's me, your friendly hood ornament, or Leaper if you prefer.
Honestly, I never thought much of a more specific name. Leap? Leapy? Hood Cat? Wait, that last one might work for my underground rap impresario-- eh, I'll save that for later.
Anyway, hello to everyone! New member here trying to follow procedure and introduce myself a bit. I'll spare everyone a long intro so some quick details:
Location: western Washington state, USA
Actual name: Call me Joe, if you prefer
Cars in the stable: '18 Dodge Charger Scat Pack (Plum Crazy); '21 BMW X3 M40i
**So why the heck am I here then?**
I'm here because I'm finally in a position to take a serious run at acquiring one of the dream cars of my teenage years - a X308/350 XJR. (sure I may be closing in on my 40s but at least this will be a refined mid-life crisis!)
So at the moment, I'll be keeping an eye on the for sale sections, and also asking questions and gathering information so I am as prepared as possible when looking at vehicles to ensure I'm getting the right spec (and hopefully avoid huge unaddressed maintenance potholes too)
Thanks!

Hello, Joe,
We have Many first time owners in their 70s, so you're just a kid in comparison. LOL
I wish you success in your search for the Perfect Jaguar.
