I bought a 95 xj12 one month ago. I've been looking at the posts for a few months now. I've learned so much and have been really impressed at how helpful everyone is. I figure it was time to join. The members helped me make an informed decision about buying this beautiful car and hopefully I'll continue to learn and be able to help someone also. Thanks

I just saw you are from Sanford, Fl!
Well, I'll be. I was born there. Grew up in Lake Mary.
Moved to Orlando later in life and was in Central Florida a total of 50 years!
So you must tell me more about you!

Thank you to everyone for the welcoming. This is my first experience with a forum so please bear with me as I figure it out. As I look around this is a really great site. I downloaded the service manuals and went from hardly any info to my brain is overloaded with this car. The FAQ section is unbelievable.

Doug: those exact words in an Older thread are what opened my eyes to the xj12. I was just looking at xj6s and a little intimidated by the 12 but after seeing what you had to say about them I figured I'll give her a go. So thanks for the great info.

I left before then. My father was from New Jersey. But I won't get started on that because I don't really know anything about that. lol

Good to have you here and lucky you to have a Jag at 29! Congrats!
