Hello, Wayne,
I always thought a TR8 might be fun, but alas, I never found one when I lived in town where I could drive it. Now that I live out in the Stix there's no point.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Thank you ElinorB.
The TR6 was a lot of fun but a very specialised car. It won the Targa Tasmania and was incredibly high performance fun for a while. An itch that had to be scratched.

Nice to meet you Morgo!

I'll add you to the Queensland members roll call.

Great to have you aboard!

Here are some useful links for you:

Also if you include a picture and details of your car in your signature below it will help others to know what Jaguar you have.

Welcome to the forum Wayne (and also 'hello' to Lynette),

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I'm only three years behind you but age is just a number as long as we stay fit and active. I've gone though several of the same vehicles as you but our UK climate is harsh on 60's and 70's vehicles so they have long gone.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR 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 Australia - Queensland Region forum by following this link Australia - Queensland - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
