Greetings from Geelong, Victoria, Australia. I have been a Jaguar owner for the past 20 years. I have owned a Mark 10 4.2 litre, 2 XJSs, 5.3 litre cars with the early 1978 model converted to a 5 spd manual.Unfortunately it burnt itself to death Dec 2006. Engine fire. My second red XJS, 1985 V12 has just been sold ( 149,000kms/ 93,000 miles) and now I am down to one Jaguar being a BRG 1997 XK8 4litre coupe which has travelled 93,000kms or 58,000 miles. Since acquiring this vehicle I have spent a reasonable amount of money on it including replacing the primary & secondary tensioners, chains,water pump etc and the list goes on.
I am 68 years old and retired and I have been known to spend far too much of my hard earned money on them. So be it.

 

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum. It sounds like you should have joined us years ago!

 

Welcome Rob to the forums! I have to agree with Jamie above.

BTW its your money right, spend it the way you want too!

 

Welcome to the forum Rob,

Good to have you here, as long as you enjoy the cars that's the important thing.

 

Further to my recent intro as new member, I forgot to include as one of my previous cars a 1997 XJR 4 litre supercharged model. It was carnival red with bone interior. Car was sold with 60,000 miles on the clock. I sold this car and my XJS to finance the purchase of a 1997 BRG XK8 4 litre coupe.

Thanks for your welcoming remarks. I look forward to making a contribution to Jaguar Forums and the world of Jaguar.
