Smile My 1st Jag - 2017 F-Type R!!!

Hi everyone,

After selling my 1968 California Special Mustang (that I owned for 26 years and made out like a bandit on), I purchased in August (from August Motors!) what I thought was the best value for the dollar on a high performance sports car... hang with ALOT more expensive sports cars. Exhaust note is the BEST... I only drive in Dynamic mode! Still have the V8 power but now supercharged... throws heads back in the seat!!! I also joke about it being my "commuter Jag" as I have got up to 26mpg or 9 L/100kms on it driving to work. With 85,000 kms on it and out of warranty, I expect I will be doing work on it so I bought an iCarsoft CR MAX BT and Videoscope. After hardwiring a connection to the front remote battery post, I have plugged Blanca Jade ("BJ" if you know her well) in for the winter here in Canada. Will change all the fluids, polish the paint, and possibly install an Apple CarPlay upgrade unit next spring. Until then, I'll drive my Toyota Tundra.

Cheers everyone!
Martin

Welcome and congratulations ! The first Jag is always a particular flavour.

I remember the canadians of Throttle House recently reviewing the very last F-type here :

What oil grade do Jaguar recommend for canadian winter in the V8 ?
