Default New Guy in Southern California

Hi Gang, Just picked up my first Jaguar, a 2001 XK8 Coupe, silver with black interior, has 110k on it right now and an almost complete service history record YAY! tensioners and all belts and hoses replaced in past 30k miles at a premier San Diego jaguar repair center. Looking forward to many years and a few more jags added to my collection ( really want a xjl and xk8 convertible too) I have been a car enthusiast for about 30 years now, owning and driving many fun models of Cadillac, Lincoln, BMW, Chrysler and now Jaguar, I'm one of those guys who is always tinkering with my cars, scouring salvage yards and usually has at least one or two hobby cars in the garage in addition to my daily drivers. right now it's an '89 Lincoln Mark VII, ( my daily driver) an '88 cadillac Allante, '98 740il and an '90 Imperial, so I'm pretty familiar with unique and fun sleeper cars.. Glad to be part of the group,

MAtt

Hello, Matt,
That's Quite a collection of classics! As you're familiar with some of the more 'unique' cars on the planet, you'll get on with your 'new' jaguar just fine.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
