Hello fellow Jaguar enthusiasts. I live in the beautiful Great Pacific Northwest. My wife, Francyne, to whom I will have been married 25 years this March, 2012, works in the accounting field. I work in hazardous operations (hazwoper) in remediation and transportation (my other "car" is a 379 Peterbilt). Francyne has always been a car enthusiast, having extracted a promise earlier in our marriage to buy her an Austin-Healy. Well, she released me from that promise after determining it would never fit into or "budget". In any event, she became realistic. Six months ago, she fell in love with a 2001 British Racing Green Jaguar XJ8. Being the dutiful and loving husband, I bought it for her. The vehicle--in my estimation--is in excellent shape for a car that has almost 100,000 miles. I've purchased a new battery (which of course disabled the radio) and after the windshield wiper stopped functioning at a most inopportune time, I swapped the wiper/washer relay switches over, which corrected that problem. Surprisingly, the washer also worked in spite of the "bad" relay. Other than that, just oil changes and radiator flush and refill. I have never been a member of an organized group of car enthusiasts, but am looking forward to sharing my experiences as a Jaguar owner's husband. Thank you for welcoming me into circle.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Funny how wipers stop working when it rains, and lights seem to pack up when it goes dark. Then tyres always go flat at the bottom.

Something more to ponder.

Good to have you with us.
