Hi all, Thanks for letting me share your great site.
I'm in Scottsdale AZ and got this beauty about 6 months ago, and it is the most fun toy I've ever had. 2017 F-Type R, White with red/black interior.
I love the rear 3/4 view, but thought the front had just a little too much white, and I had some blue wrap lying around, so I cut it up and added the hood stripe. Personally, I like the stripe, but your opinions may differ.
I just got the VAP double pulley upgrade, and will be putting the car on the dyno before and after to see just what I have.
By the way, there is a 'Jags and Java' meeting this Saturday morning in Paradise Valley (8 to 11am), so I will be looking for other F-Type owners there.
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome! I'll keep an eye out for you in the F-Type R with a stripe on it. Must be a beast!
The Jags and Java event sounds fun. A little too early for me though. The Rock n Roll car show is in the afternoon but I don't think there are any Jaguars there (except mine on occasion).
I'm in North Scottsdale (2017 white coupe with black pack), I think I've saw your car in a shopping center recently. Where do you get it serviced? I used to go to British automotive in the airpark for it and my XF, but they merged with another shop and within 9 months 100% of the old staff was gone which I take as a very bad sign. Penske wants $450 for an oil change and Arrowhead $400 which is just ridiculous. I was paying $250 before.
Hi and I hope we meet up somewhere soon, will you be going out to the show in Fountain Hills on Feb 15th? I registered to have my car inside the show.
I share your frustration with getting our Jags serviced, although my situation may be a little different to yours, because my whole life has been spent in professional racing, working as Race Engineer and Mechanic for the last 52 years. So I'm able to do all things mechanical, and some electrical on my F-Type R, and just need help with some software diagnosis.
Recently, after I let my battery drain down, my Tire Pressure Sensors were not showing anything on the dash. I went to a dealer and another shop, and they quoted $185/hour, with one hour minimum, to just hook into my car to see quickly if there was something wrong.......$185, for 10 minutes work !!!! In the end, with this problem, I did what I do to all my other cars, periodically, and that is to disconnect the battery negative and lay it on top of the positive terminal overnight. This wipes of any surface and static charge in the whole electrical system, and restores settings back to stock factory.....it doesn't alter any tune or software updates, it just gets all the basic's back. After this my TPS's work fine again.
Lets stay in touch..........I'm near Greenway and 64th Street, near Kierland
