New XJS Owner!
Hi guys, just picked up a new to me 88 XJS12 convertible. I've owned two XJ6's in the past and a 12. Wife really liked them and has been hinting for one for a while. I'm sort of a Mercedes nut and hang out quite a bit in the Benz forums. List of my current "fleet" below.
94 SL600
94 SL320
95 E320 Cabriolet
93 300CE Sportline
87 560SEC
86 300SDL
81 380SL
81 300TD Euro
74 450SL
80 Ferrari 308 GTSI
And of course the new to us 12. The car has 84,000 miles and checked out clean with both Autocheck and Carfax. Great to have a cat again and I look forward to meeting you all.

Thanks for the welcome. I do drive a different Mercedes every day and the Ferrari every couple of months due to the DC traffic. I do like the W140 Mercedes and have been looking for a nice one. Drove the SL600 today and will drive the Jag next week as I have to get it registered.

It is sort of a kick to drive a different one each day. I can't say I would ever have this many Jags, but you never know! 
It's also a good thing to have understanding neighbors. Someone asked about lining them up for a pic, sort of hard to do. I was going to post some pics from my photobucket account but they just show up as links. I've had no trouble elsewhere just pasting the image tag in. Is there a secret to doing that in this forum?

Damn, I wanted you to spoon feed me on this! [8D] It's Mr. Pig by the way. I read your FAQ's before I posted the reply and just read them again. No reference to photobucket. Let's try this and see.

Nice ride....the pic link worked just fine.....cool!
If however, you wanna post the pic directly into the post, just copy the link as above and paste into the little yellow square top right hand corner that says add image and it'll do it for you.
Post some more why dontcha?

I just drive them. I have a good mechanic and detailer. Speaking of that. I'm probably going to need a good Jag mechanic in the DC/NOVA area if anybody knows of one.

Not very Mr. Pig! We do things right, and we help out a lot, but WTF? We're the only ones that are on here all the time...we might as well enjoy the forum. Plenty of jokes to go around and laughs for days. Sarcasm is a must...just don't join the forum to sell something. Then we won't like you at all.
