Hello all, name is Chris. Just bought a 2005 S-Type 4.2 V8 base. My first Jag :-)

 

Hi and welcome to the site Yzedf. Congrats on your purchase!

 

Welcome to the forum,

Enjoy your new car.

 

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. Nice first Jag. Check out the S-type section for pertinent information. What color is your S-type? When you can post a pic or two of it. Have a great time on this site as there's a lot to explore. Cheers.

 

Black with black interior.

 

Welcome!

Hey Chris.
Welcome to the forum. I was stationed in Groton many years ago. I enjoyed everything except the winters. I didn't have my jag then, but I was into motorcycles then and there is some good bike riding on the country roads. It should be fun in your Jag. Good Luck.

 

Funny you say that as I ride too.

 

Chris:

I bet that you were never aware that a Jaguar S model is bordering as a supercar with the 4.2 engine. You ought to see what it is like in the R version supercharged.

Until I got interested in the XK's, I thought Jag's were straight 6 engined cars driving by little old rich ladies. Boy was I wrong.

 

Welcome Chris. Sounds like a nice vehicle you have taken ownership of, can't wait to see some pics! As mentioned loads of info in the S Type Section and the guys there are quite friendly. Beaware though we do become addictive!

Enjoy your new ride!

 

Hey there welcome to the forum, good to have you here.
You might find the off topic good for fun, maybe check out the mug shot thread and add yours?
In the meantime I've upgraded you manually to full forum access so you can better view the site

 

Welcome Chris
Good choice of Jags. Have many miles and smiles.

 

You should drive the XF Supercharged. Makes my S feel slow. I never really cared for the STR, just not worth all the extra headaches here in CT with our crappy roads.
