Default New Jag Owner

Howdy folks,

I've just taken ownership of a 2005 Jaguar XJR - my first Jag after a succession of German saloons.

I've always hankered for a Jaguar as, even though I now live in Dubai, my hometown of Sutton Coldfield is about a 10 minute drive from Jaguar Castle Bromwich in England.

Anyway, I love reading the posts on this board and hope to get involved as much as I can. I'm not particularly technically minded, so no down I'll be picking your collective brains over the coming months, and hopefully years.

Anyway, see you on the X350 board!

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks Elinor, I'm very happy to be here

The car is in the local indie garage getting a full health check as we speak, so let's see how we get on.

Welcome to the forum Bob,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Generous sized parking bays in Dubai judging by the 911 photo.

I can see you've already found your way to the X350 tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


You can also visit the Other Areas Region forum by following this link Other Areas - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your part of the World.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks guys.

Yep, big ol' parking bays to accommodate the many Escalade's, Suburban's and such like. Some can be a bit narrow though, so you'll pick up a fair amount of door opening nicks and dents.

There's a fair few Jag's out here, but mainly the newer models. Heat all year round is obviously a problem, so you have to ensure has been well looked after if you're buying something from a few years back.

Here's a good indication of what's for private sale now.... (1 USD is 3.67 AED btw)
