Default my first $400

Just got my 97 xk8 conv back from its first shop visit. Bought it a couple of weeks ago. Now I know what they mean by "you should have disposable income". Came home sad but now I'm glad. 93xj6's double window switch reset idea worked. (passenger side window would not go up). Will enjoy chatting. Thanks to all.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not one to post much, but reading yours reminded me of something. I bought my Sovereign last spring, and while I was thinking about buying it, I happened to get in touch with my dad. He told me that "If your first car is a Jaguar, your second had better be a wrecker." I took it under advisement. Butthe carhasn't failed me yet. Good luck, and dont be afraid to look into things yourself.

Glad everyone got a good laugh for the holidays.. I am now convinced by all to use size 3 font. I hope this will be acceptable to all..... three weeks plus with the Jag and I am loving it more and more with every top down cruise in the Texas hill country. Still hard to start most times but when she's running, she's purring.

Trust me...there's nothing not to like about a Jag, except maintenance costs! When everything is purrin' along as it should, these Big Cats are an absolute delight! However, someone once said that, a Jag is like a beautiful woman you want to have, who's very high maintenance, and knows how to be a pain in the assevery once in awhile. I think that just about sums up the Jaguar experience. Best of luck tamming your Big Cat!

go into Jagaur Forums help and suggestion centre and you'll see a thread " how to post pictures" by my good mate Biggie.
It'll get you sorted no problem

All the best
