!! New Owner 98 XJ8 !!
Hello all i'm new to this site, i'm Adam , i'm 24, and i'm 50 miles west of St. Louis, MO. I've been checking over the forums reading up the past two weeks before joining. I've always wanted an XJ8 since I sawoneat a local dealership here in Missouri when I was in 8th grade.(There are mostly big trucks here, I live 20 mins froma Chrysler plant and roughly an45 minsfroma ford plant)
I just recently bought a mint 1998 Jaguar XJ8that had it's whole life at a dealership (garaged "the Collection" inMiami) with 77500 miles, with all service records and proper care given.(Car ships tomorrow) date of production is 10/97.
AnywaysI was curious about the change in the environment, it's roughly 65+F down there I see while still mid winter up here Missouri. Do jaguars adjust to temperature changes well? As well I'd enjoy any tips/tricks that you guys have to offer, this appears to be a great site for all. Thanks folks.
here are afewpics of the new beast. (it's in carnival red pearl clearcoat (CFS) with oatmeal (AGD) interior.. rather pretty car..
BTW i've got a k&n cold intake system on the way and mesh grill plates, couldn't resist will post pics. cheers all!

Hi atom n welcome to the forum mate.....
What a beautiful car you have there, stunning colour combo and looks immaculate too
Great to have you aboard n hopefully you'll be a regular visitor.
You might want to check out the regional section to see who's who near you and also the XJ section for any helps n tips on your particular model. Any major probs / queries that you have difficulty in getting answered try the general tech help section.
Good luck
Jim

RE: !! New Owner 98 XJ8 !!
thanks, and yeah i'll be checking it out reading up. AlsoI don't know if you guys posted this before, but I just got an exquisite shifter knob from this gentleman on EBAY. here is his ebay store link for jaguar custom knobs. The one I chose seems to match my interior perfectly.. in a maple burl wood.
