Default Long time listener, first time caller

Hello All,

I've been benefiting from reading the threads on here for many years and have saved a TON fixing almost everything myself with the advice found in the threads.

I live in Minnesota but was in California from 2001-2011.

Current kitties are a 2005 VDP and a 1998 XJR but have had 8 total over the last 18 years.

Below are pics of some my ladies

2005 VDP currentcurren driver getting a wash on a solo 3,700 mine road trip to AZ and back.
2005 VDP showing off her stretch.
1998 XJR purchased in 2007 and retired to light driving.
1988 VDP & 1885 VDP after a wax.
1988 VDP and 1985 VDP showing off their ***..ets..
1985 VDP my second ever Jaguar and one I REALLY wish I still had.
1988 XJ6 2 weeks after I purchased it from my brother. My first cat and one that saved my GF's life when getting T-boned by an econoline van doing 40mph through a red light. I loved how it looked and drive but the way it handled this accident made me a Jag man for life!

Welcome to the forum MNXJ,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums and thanks for a spendid Intro. That's a great selection of Jaguars past and present. My 1989 XJ40 died in a similar T-bone accident but took the hit on the engine compartment.

I can see you've already posted in the X350 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.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-midwest-39/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks everyone! I've updated my signature and have already gotten help on an entertainment system question on the 2005 VDP. I'm looking forward to contributing some help myself to give back as I restore my 1998 XJR to it's former glory.

Cheers!
