Default Welcome to Jaguar Forums

Welcome Russ ... and greetings from fellow enthusiasts in Australia.

You have us intrigued as to your choice of Jaguar after a string of Alphas ... saloon? sports? modern or classic? Put us our of our misery when you have taken the plunge ... and pics always evoke lots of drooling!

Edit: Caught your other posts, so now I see you are looking at a diesel X-Type ... best wishes with the purchase.
Suggest you put car details, once purchased, in your signature to ensure a permanent flag for others when offering advice.

Yell if you need help ... now, all that remains is for you to dive into the forum and enjoy!

Best wishes,
Ken

Guys, Thankyou so much for such a lovely welcome to the Jaguar community. its a real pleasure.

Soon as I turned up to the dealer yesterday I had already made my mind up, absolutely stunning, I really was blown away by how well she had been looked after and how beautiful she looked. Test drive was amazing, 2.2 diesel engine well refined and damn nippy.

Ive never had a guy that I love completely but I can honestly say I can not fault this little beauty at all.

Am really happy to say I am now a fully fledged Jag owner. never smiled so much in my life.

Ill get some pics on when I can but some stats. 2.2 diesel sport, black, 90k miles full jag service history. just stunning. alloys immaculate, body work immacualte. I paid £4000 which i feel i got a hell of a lot of car for. Everything I looked at failed miserably for the same price against the Jag.

anyways, I could rattle on all day but I best go polish her again, havent polished her for about half an hour :-)

Looking forward to chatting with you as time goes on and ill certainly get pics up and profile updated asap.

Best Wishes to all!

A late 'Welcome' to Jaguar Forums from me Russ.

I've been away driving my Jaguar across Europe and had no internet access.
