Default Long time lover, first time owner

Howdy ya'll!

My love of Jaguar began as a youth, when I first saw a 60's E-Type. At 18 I purchased my first sports car, a '70 Triumph GT-6+, which I always called my mini Jag. Unfortunately for the car (and my neck/back), it was totalled a year later, when someone decided to embed their Nissan in it's rear end.

Since then I've had many enthusiasts cars, including a '74 Opel Rally, '70 Charger Superbee and '83 RX7. If only I could have kept them all....

Living now in Chicago, for almost a year, I took a job selling cars (PM me, and I'll make you a great deal ). My girlfriend and I had an '04 Corolla S we enjoyed, but when this baby came on the lot:

I couldn't pass up the chance, to make a near even trade.

43,000 miles of pampered life, in near impeccable condition. She wasn't sure at first, but one drive and the woman was hooked.

All I need now is a left lens cover, and some elbow grease. The later I'm going to embark on, as soon as I complete this post.

Thanks so much for the forum. I'll be lurking around, learning what mischief I can perpetrate both here, and on the vehicle.

Welcome to the forum BigBadWulf,

Neat avatar.

Great looking X-Type. Not surprised you were both hooked.

Norri's got you on the right track and your vehicle details are there OK now.

The edit button is in the group at the bottom right of your posts.

Graham

I've tried native and Opera Mini. Odd, considering I've never had issue on a VB forum before, even in Forum Manager. Oh well, guess I just need to be more cautious posting.

Bonnet is now gleaming with pride. Gotta mow the grass now, which of course is grown British Racing Green.
