Default New Jag owner from the northern hemisphere :)

Greetings from Finland

I bought a MY2000 XJR about a month ago. It's done 70K miles, and according to Carfax it was originally sold in Michigan, and later travelled to Texas, where it was bought by a Finn, who then brought it here... so I guess it has travelled across the Atlantic twice

Haven't had a chance to take proper photos yet, but here's quick shot from my garage.

Welcome to the forum,

So your mileage should be much higher with all that travel. :-)

Good to have you with us. Kipis!

welcome. Kind of cool knowing your XJR has crossed the ocean a couple times.

Welcome to the forum.

A mighty fine looking XJR.

Just think of all the taxes that various governments have had out of it

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I got an unfamiliar problem (to me) with the XJR after fitting studded winter tyres on it: ASC activates rather eagerly, although there's no ice or snow on the roads yet... I asked about this on the finnish Jaguar discussion forum, and apparently the root cause of this problem is under the hood, and it's called torque
