I've signed up after lurking for a coupleof weeks. On my third Jaguar ina row. Currently driving an 06 Super V8, Radiance with Ivory/Moca.Jaguar Voice fitted, but that's it for options unless you like Sirius, whichI don't.
My previous Jaguars were an 00 S-type 4.0 Sport which died a slow and lingering deathfrom supposedly repairable accident damage that never quite got it back all the way. Next came an XJ8, purchased not long after intro. Beautiful car, Black on black. Ebony and warm charcoal as far as Jaguar goes. Drove it for 5 years and 80,000 miles. While I was in the dealership for the 80k service, I saw this really nice looking 06 Super V8 with only 20,000 miles on it. And thanks to the really amazing rate at which Jaguars (and most other luxury autos) depreciate, it was just too good to pass up. I should add that my youngest son is 6'8" tall and does not fit in many back seats. Super V8?No problem. Bought it so he could have leg room. No, really. I did.
Anyway, glad to have found this forum. Used to belong to Jagtalk and really miss it. This should fill my need to read. I've loved Jaguars sinceI was a kid and saw the pictures in R&T.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to sharing our Jaguar experiences and stories. And once I get some pics, I'll see if I can get them posted.
