Default New member introduction

New to this forum, just bought a beautiful Salsa red F Type. I formerly owned a 1968 E type coupe I foolishly sold after someone backed into the driver's door. I purchased it in Alaska and was soon transferred to Dallas, It hated the hot Texas weather but I loved that car. I've been looking for another E Type but decided to try the F Type after seeing the new model. Currently have a '02 Porsche Boxster and a 500 CLS Mercedes. I'm a retired computer specialist/systems analyst, spent 5 years working in Munich Germany. My wife & I bicycled the Alps many times and now criss-cross the country on a Honda Gold wing. I have a small internet (Hobby) business making/selling luggage racks for the Kawasaki Concours motorcycle. I'm a home shop machinist as a hobby and make models of old technology IE: steam-engines and hit-n-miss gas engines. I'm south of Dallas in the small town of Ovilla Tx.

Welcome to the forum Philip,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Join the long list of us who wished hadn't sold our E-Types many years ago!

I know you have already found your way to the F-Type tech section so there is no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
