Default New Guy Here

Hey, everyone. I have been a long time lurker on this site, found it about a year and half ago when I first started looking into Jaguars.
A bit about me; I am a twenty six year old former United States Marine Corps Military Police Officer who has now gotten into the rental property and real estate business.

I only became interested in cars two years ago. I started looking at muscle cars at first and became wholly underwhelmed after a few test drives. Then I looked quite closely at the BMW M3s, but they just felt cold and didn't have any personality or character to them.

I then came across the XF and it definitely had the X factor that I was looking for. Test drove one (2010 N/A 5.0L) and was sold on it and, more importantly, Jaguar.

Started looking for an XFR and ended up purchasing three houses instead, oops.

After the debut of the F-Type Coupe I became convinced that I needed this car in my life. I have done quite a lot of reading and some test drives for almost everything in the market segment that the F-Type occupies and have yet to find anything that comes even close to how this car makes me feel.

Fast forward to today and I am getting into a position where I can purchase an F-Type.... And I am now in the works of acquiring 132 more rental units and an entire city block.... and the F-Type has gotten pushed to the back burner.

I hope to have changed my car status late next year.

I look forward to talking with other Jaaaaaggg owners here, Cheers

Adam

Welcome to the forum Adam,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the F-Type tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
