Hello all, I just bought a 2003 Jaguar S-Type R. I am new to Jaguar but not internet forums (been on them for about 10 years now). In the last 4 years I've owned a BMW e38 740iL, e23 733i, and e30 M3 as well as a Mercedes-Benz E430. Looking forward to learning a lot.

 

Forgot to put a couple pictures up:

 

Welcome to the forum,

Welcome to the forum.

Aww, I've just drooled all over my keyboard. PM me I'll send you the bill.

Great looking car.

 

Thanks for the upgrade, it was a bit frustrating not being able to view attachments. There seems to be a lot of good info here, and hopefully I will be able to contribute some myself one day.

Thanks, its a beast for sure!

 

Quartz welcome to the forum! I assure you this forum is unlike any of the ones you have belonged to previously! Watch out for the STR guys they will have you modding in no time!

Nice vehicle BTW!!!!!

 

I am also new here but not to Jaguar. We currently have a 2002 R S-Type and it is just wonderful. Our 2005 is nice also but there is something about the ride and handeling of the R model (My wifes) so I steal it once in a while. Hope you like it as much as we do.

 

Thanks, I've noticed a bit more maturity than the other forums I've been on, save for maybe one of the Benz forums. I've already been looking into a 3 lb. pulley and muffler delete, but I am first going to change the tranny fluid and make sure the maintenance is up to date. I just got done with a 6 hour detail including a wash, clay bar, swirl remover, polish and wax; so it looks and feels like a glass mirror.

Its a blast to drive, I do have to check myself and make sure I use cruise control everywhere though .

^ agreed - good stuff. From one 03 R owner to another - Welcome aboard!! Plenty of us R owners active in the S Type section, you'll fit in great.
