Default Newbie to Jag Family

Hello. Just bought my wife a 1999 XJR with 93,000 original miles and a week later blew the head gasket. Fun, fun. Have a new engine on the way.

What a great present.
It is nice that you are not passing the blame to the wife for a heavy right foot.
Hope it is back on the road soon.
John.

Thank you John! It should be back and cruising around September - just in time for our move to FLA. No way would I blame my wife (It was probably MY heavy foot anyway). Sweet looking jag in the pic!
