Default a newbie

Hi all, Just joined the forum although I have had my baby Jaguar for a few years now.
Its an X-Type 2.0D 2006, 75k on it now and I got it one Sunday whilst going for a Sunday roast although I had been browsing for one forra while. My Dad got the sport estate and had said I should look into them when I decided to change my car.
I love my car, its not mint but I am getting bits and bobs sorted as I go. The wife hates the car, but, was most annoyed after I took it back off of her after She had had it for a few months whilst I was laid up.
I live In Bonnybridge, just outside Falkirk in Scotland but am originally from Maidstone in Kent...and am wearing grey boxer shorts today. Hope that's enough info for you all for now.
I have no picture as I am computer illiterate, the wife will show me how though.

So your wife hates your car, but got annoyed when you took it back. That sound like a true love/hate relationship.

Welcome.

Real female logic in that reaction, and the boxers just top it all off.

I'm a boxer-brief man myself. But the beauty of the forums is we all have a common ground in Jaguars, so...

Welcome!

Hi there, Bonnybridge just along the road from me, we have a place there actually in the new estate.


You are welcome to come to the meet, but please post into the thread if you intend to come, I'll need details from you asap but will send you a pm if you want to come.


As for your non member Jag owning friend?
He is more than welcome to come, But I'd ask that he join the forum and post into the thread saying he wishes to attend, I'll need details too.


The meet is less than 2 weeks away, so I really need to know soonest
Thanks
Jim
