Smile New member hello

Evening everyone, I've just joined and am new to XJS world. My father who is 90 has always wanted one. He looked out of his window and saw a man in a blue XJS 5.3 V12 outside the house waiting to pick up his daughter from school. My father went out and spoke to him and bought the car on the spot, without driving it or looking it over.
I get a phone call in work to say he has bought it and is keeping it on my drive with no intention of driving it. I have to drive him about in it.
My father explained that it was his last blast before the crematorium! True story, so while I am a competent amateur, I am an XJS virgin full of stupid questions. Be gentle with me. Thanks,

Welcome to the forum markwindos,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums AND your father. That's tremendous.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJS forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome.

Well done Dad.

Let the fun begin, you will have a blast, and the learning is gently IF you dont panic.
