Just bought a 1999 XJR today. My first Jag! I've owned other British cars (Bentley, DeLorean) and been involved with the upkeep of others (Morgan, Lotus) so I've been around the block a few times. I do all of my own repairs/maintenance and come from a family with a long tradition in the automotive business, mostly with Mercedes-Benz and Studebakers. Looking forward to participating in the forums!

I'd also be interested in network with any other owners in the Northern Virginia (especially Alexandria) area.

Hi Rob-

Welcome to the forum! The DC area folks are doing two get-togethers a year now (spring and fall). Keep your eye on the mid-Atlantic section for more information.

Congratulations on your first Jaguar, Rob!
You'll get on with it just fine since you're already accustomed to doing your own repairs.

Welcome from ElinorB.
