Hello all! I'm new to S Types and Jags in general; although I've been fond of the shape for some time. I recently purchased an '03 4.0 in Topaz with 44k miles. I believe the interior is Ivory. This will be a weekend car, but I will probably take a few road trips as well. I've owned several new Mustangs in the past ('01 Cobra, '96 GT, '89 LX 5.0), so I am partial to V8's. I've reached my 40's now, so my desire to smoke the tires at every opportunity has waned a bit. I do like the low-end grunt and fluid-like acceleration that the 4.0 offers, so I'm sure I'll occasionally try to dust the Lexus or Caddy in the other lane. After checking out the helpful forums, I'm looking forward to turning some wrenches on a few maintenance items, as well as talking to other forum members. Regards!

Dom

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
