Welcome to the Forums.

That XJ12L is a "real Jag", but I am a tad biased.

Agree 100% XJ12L is a Real JAG!
However its a real jag in every way including LOTS of maintenance and spendy.
I got to the point it wasn't fun to drive anymore for all the tweaking and adjustments and maintenance.
When I got to the point that I was spending an hour on "tweaks" each time I wanted to take it for a ride I decided she would be better off with a real mechanic.
So on to a better home that she deserved. =)

I do miss the ride though, like driving a really fast cloud!
