Longtime Jag owner - new to forum

Hi, my name is James and I live in Fort Worth, Texas.

My current Jag stable includes a '68 E-type OTS and a 2000 S-type V8.

I have had many XJs over the years - S1, S2, S3, 6 and V12, and V8 conversions. I also owned a '62 MKII.

I am an aero engineer and I own a business making upgrades for Porsches (JWest Engineering, in case anyone is interested). I also owned a restoration shop years ago, so I know my way around cars pretty well.

Looks like a great forum - I don't know what took me so long to find it! I've already grabbed some good S-type tips.

At the moment I am replacing the headliner in the S-type (headliner done - just the pillars to go).

James

Welcome James. Got any pictures? Sounds like you'll be able to provide as much input into the forum as you'll get information out. What DID take you so long to get around to sharing here?

James,

Welcome aboard!
I am new here also but have had great support from all.
Speaking of which, I can offer very low cost cat sitting for a '68 E-TYPE, OTS. She will be fed and exercised regularly. One of the most beautiful sculptures man has created, I had a very hard time saying no to a '69 to afford my 2003 XK8 coupe. Jealousy abounds!

With Best Regards,
Steven (1avguy)
