Hey all. Have been reading these forums as a resource since buying my 05 X-Type in 2010. After that car was turned into a hood ornament by a lane-drifting, side-swiping, but apologetic nice guy trucker on I-95, I settled for a 03 S-Type 3.0 Base in British Racing Green. Having fixed four minor issues in the first two days of ownership, I thought it might be time to register on the site. Perhaps post some questions. East Tennessee here, the land where Jaguars are few, far between, generally a bit over-priced for used Jags later than '02 (in my opinion), and you're lucky if the one Jaguar dealership in the area will see you and repair your car in less than a month (well, okay, to be fair, it only took then a week to repair an airbag sensor the last time... ).

Welcome and if you can hold a spanner, you'll be doing your own repairs (not too many I hope) in no time. Happy motoring!

Good to have you with us at Jaguar Forums.

Welcome. sorry about the trucker, I know that had to hurt. I just posted in the NC, SC regional section about the Tail of the Dragon.Eastern Tennessee sounds like you could be close to it? I would love to see a "JAGS ON THE DRAGON" this year. Welcome, tons of info on here and everyone is ready to help.
