Default Jaguars Anon?

Hello, my name is Lowell, and I am a Jaguar owner.

It started innocently enough 200 miles from home with "$1500" sign in a car at the end of a long country lane. Turned around to see if it was actually a Jaguar, and a few days later we were returning to bring home my '88 XJ6.

Then there was that CraigsSearch tool, since terminated, and an '86 XJS up in Michigan, and I'd still have some money left in the bank afterward.

Now it's a 2000 XJ8 VDP it took 2 trips to Chicago to corral.

I'm retiring in a couple months, so this is the last Jaguar I'm ever going to buy.

Until the next one.

Welcome Lowell, that's a great story. I'm going to bet there'll be more Jaguars somewhere, some day. I'm just looking at logistics on where I can put my second one............

Welcome Lowell, I see you're another "victim" of that dreaded "cat fever" of which there is no cure. Once bitten, you'll never go back....
Enjoy...

Ah! Now I know the rest of the story........

Welcome, Lowell. Fine bunch here on the Forum, always something to learn. My first was a 1989 Vanden Plas, served me well for ten years and haven't been without one since.

As mentioned in our email, we'll be standing by if and when you need your additional keys.

Cheers,
