Default Newbie in Brooklyn

Hi, all.

I've been lurking for the last week or so, not yet being an actual Jaguar owner. I've just put down a $1000 deposit on a Dark Sapphire Blue, 340-hp XE R-Sport with silver Venom wheels. Delivery won't happen until late September, they tell me.

So I will continue to lurk quietly until I take delivery.

In the meantime, I drive a BMW 335xi. Before that it was an Audi S4, and before that, a Saab 9000. All nice, spirited cars.

Oh, yes... One more thing... Tonight at Midnight I turn 70.

Welcome to the forum and a Happy Birthday booklaw1,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X760 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Please remember to 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.

You can also visit the US Northeast Region forum by following this link US Northeast - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

I don't live that far upstate as Rochester and Watertown. I'm in Saugerties, just 40 miles south of Albany. I did grow up in Brooklyn. I lived in East New York and Canarsie.
