Hi All,

I'm Jared, a long time Jag admirer but first-time owner. About a month ago I purchased a 2013 XF Supercharged in Carnelian Red and couldn't be happier! It unfortunately didn't come with the OE Draco's and the dash will need some work but that doesn't change how it drives - I've put on at least 1.5k miles since taking ownership and enjoyed every second.

I was originally looking at a newer XF 35t but at the end of the day I missed the V8 (I came from a 2011 BMW 550i) and wow does this sound magnitudes better! However, if any of you have a Spires exhaust you'd like to part with, please let me know! I haven't done much to it yet, except for new wing mirror covers to hide some peeling clear coat and a small boot lid spoiler.

Looking forward to learning some new things.

Great car but I can't work out why the RH side is gleaming and the LH side is filthy.

Hello, Jared,
Congratulations on your First Jaguar! And what a Beeauty it is!
Also, Good For You, getting right to Driving it! Garage queens are pretty much a waste of space.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Haha, the first two photos are after it was detailed. The 3rd photo is from 1,000 miles later

Thank you! And yes, cars are meant to be driven! Some cars sure are a work of art - but that art is better appreciated in motion lol
