Default It's like jumping on a Tiger

I have been in the market for a Jaguar to replace my tired Lincoln Mark 8. My 12-month search ended when I saw and drove a 2008 Jaguar XK-R. Wow, that supercharger is a trill to drive. The tuned exhaust sounds just like a big cat growling at every car within striking distance.

I am reading the Owners Manual daily and I downloaded the Electrical Guide and 4,000 page Service Manual. Though, my Jaguar was very well maintained by the previous owner I am sure I will find a few little things that will require the experience and advice of everyone on this forum.

Day 1 of owning a wild big cat.

Welcome to the forums Rick,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the X150 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Elinor,
I found a thread on here that had a link to all the X150 manuals, so I figured I'd download them to be ready. This is a great resource.
