New Member Thanks Brutal (is that a PM?)
 

After searching eBay, Craigslist, Auto Trader, etc, ad infinitum for a decent XKR, to replace my 2001 TT (wanted something a little larger, with a bit more HP) I discovered the S type R!! OMG What a great car, for giveaway prices on used ones. It took me 2 days to find and buy a 2003.
It was such a great deal for a car with 60k orig, I SHOULD have known......
Dang headlights pointed at the ground. Of course, this didn't show up until the night AFTER I bought it.
This was the first place I landed, thanks to the big G.
What I thought was going to be a very expensive fix took 10 minutes, $0.

Thank you Jaguar Forums, with special kudos to Brutal!

I've only owned it for 3 days, and I'm still making discoveries, so will be a regular reader/contributor.

Hopefully, down the road, I be able to repay the favor. I'm a FOG (freakin old guy) that's owned everything from a Sunbeam to a Ferrari, including 4, or 5 Jag's.

Welcome TomCat! You'll see there's been a huge influx of stype-R guys running around lately, so you'll have a lot to discuss with these guys. (no girls that I know of yet)

Can't wait to see a pic or two of the new car! :)
