Thumbs up New Member in Vancouver Canada...

Hi There,
I've entered the Jag world with a new to me Platinum exterior 2000 XKR 4.0 with oatmeal interior and original double five rims. The supercharger has been tweaked with a larger pulley and stomping on it and giving the car some room to move is exhilarating. I've had it for less than a year and have had very little time to enjoy it with three kids, perpetual renovation, full time job and looking a little ostentatious during this pandemic and time of economic distress. I bought this at a great price knowing it had issues, will certainly have more and intend to work on it myself. I'm looking forward to utilizing the amassed experience of you all to try and keep the dream alive!

Hello, Darcy,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar! (anything less than a year is new)
Working does cut into drive time for sure, as I have learned myself.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Thanks Jim. Nice looking XJ6. If I can wrap my head around maintaining a 2000 XKR and address the myriad of small issues with 1985 Mercedes turbodiesel 123 I'd love to try my hand at an old XJ6 someday. Thanks for the welcome. Darcy
