Hello, Forum Members;

New to this Forum and a few lines of introduction:

I am a proud owner of three (3) Jaguars with the most recent being the 2003 S-Type R, purchased out of Texas late last year, it now resides in Sacramento CA.

Wonderful car in a colour called ‘Carnival Red’ however, I am not 100% sure this is the correct name. With only 67k miles under it’s tyres I am sure to get many miles of pleasure.

The 2001 S-Type has close to 160k miles and has been the most reliable car my family has ever owned! Yep you heard that correctly, a 2001 S-type that is 100% reliable.

Since purchasing the STR, I have been reading up using this Forum and without question, I have gained much knowledge and offer sincerest thanks to all those that contribute.

Thanks, Rob.

2004 X-type 3.0ltr - 54k Miles
2003 S-type R - 67k Miles
2001 S-type 3.0ltr -160k Miles

Conspicuous by its absence; sorry Mohrd, no negative intended towards the X-Type. This was the first Jaguar we brought and it was a breakout-After my wife drove it for a few weeks, all other Jaguar purchases have approved no question!

It’s fitted with the Sport package, black on black with full tint windows, touch screen, drilled and slotted rotors with polished calipers. Wife wants the bonnet grill and lower grill updated with stainless mesh inserts so that’s next on the list.

Pictures of all three to come soon.

2003 S-type R

2001 S-type 3.0ltr

Welcome Rob! You managed to take another jag from my home State. Remember to say y'all once in awhile while driving her so it feels at home...at least for awhile.

I will have to live with the 7/10 for a while as evidently I am not smart enough to upload pictures. I'll get my 8 year old to help me tomorrow!!
