Default Newbie !!

Hello. I am Anthony Peck, in Washington DC. I am having an ongoing love affair with my gray metallic(graphite), 2001, XJ8. which I have owned for 12 years now. I want to "spoil" her with a few upgrades. I bought a stainless mesh grill set, and a couple of badges. I want to give her a set of 1996 VandenPlas 20 spoke rims, if they will fit, (the ONLY rims that look correct on the car!), and a pair of those "Picnic tables" for my rear seat passengers. She is a spoiled brat. She sits resplendent in her garage space, by the door, and watches all the other cars go off to work.(they are no doubt jealous of her!) I only drive on the weekends, because I ride my bike to work and errands. For her size and weight, I think she corners like a dream, and that's coming from a former BMW 2002 owner! So glad to be part of the forums. All the Best to you all!! PS: LOVE MY JAG !!! ,Anthony

Welcome to the forums Anthony,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the X308 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello, Anthony,
I'm going out on a limb here by saying we ALL love our Jags; at least most of the time.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome. I love your prose! Ill echo LnR's sentiment and suggest that maybe it hasnt broken on you yet. (Joke Joke Joke)
Mine vie for the prime garage space by breaking just as I fix them.

This one came to me broken, so it set the precedent
