Greetings all!
Just joined jaguarforums. I'm currently looking for a XJ6 Series 1 or 2 to restore and have as a daily driver. In high school I had a Austin Healy Sprite and in college I had a TR7. Then I went and bought a 1990 Miata brand new. Loved it, had it for 29 years and 340,000 miles. The wife and I currently have a 2009 Mini Cooper, but are in need of a second car again (lost the Miata to an accident). So, I'm returning to my British roots as it were. I have been reading many of the posts over the last several days as I do deep research, and using Google to research parts availability. It's been exciting to see so many parts are readily available.
Looking forward to finding "my" car and joining everyone in the journey.

Dwayne,
I used to live in Charlottesville before moving to Hampton. We'll have to meet up at some point.

Thanks!
I spent three weeks down under back in 2001, loved it!!! Best vacation ever. The Miata club in Sydney took me for a great drive around the area. I was also out to Kangaroo Island, Alice Springs and Melbourne. Would love to make it back there some day.
