Hi everyone.
Just thought I’d say ‘hello’. I have joined after reading lots of posts about V8 manual conversions as this is something I am very interested in.
I’m also into shows, photography, all car related stuff really.
Currently my daily is an 06 V70 Volvo and I have a late 52 plate Jaguar S-type R which I bought last year as an MOT failure and have since got back on the road and is my fun car whilst trying to get it as nice as possible. I’m based near Chester, Cheshire, UK.
looking forward to getting involved in discussions etc.
ta ta, Mark.

Welcome FastJag42.
V8 conversion to manual or any conversion to manual is super inviting idea.

To me the STR feels almost savagely fast and I’ve been lucky to own some fast cars. I just think a manual would top it off and suit the image
of the car more and give more driving pleasure.
