Default New guy in Utah

Picked up a 2005 Vanden Plas a few weeks back.

When I was in high school 19 years ago, my uncle had a '99 VP that he let me use for a school dance and I have wanted one ever since.

Bought it on the cheap because of the air suspension fault, discovered a leaking shock, replaced with a used one off Ebay, and has been perfect ever since even with the cold Utah weather. Been browsing lots and lots to discover the nuances of these vehicles and have learned a lot already.

Not the best picture but it was right when I brought it home, if only you could see the ear to ear grin on my wife's face!

It probably resembles mine whenever I drive Nix! Just thinking about Spring and our first drive makes me smile.

Congratulations on your 'new' Jaguar. May it give you many Tens of Thousands trouble free miles.
