Hello all, hope all is well with you... my name is Si and i live in Carrickfergus just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland.

So, having been a serial VW nut since i was 7 years old ( now 34 ), and have helped start and run the VW clubs here in Northern Ireland since 1996, i currently have a wee VW collection sitting... here are a few.....

1991 Mk2 GTI 8V




1992 Mk2 G60






1996 Mk3 1.4SE ( only 9k, family owned from new )







Also have a very rare 1981 Jurgen Autovilla Campervan..... Bert, which i love....





as well as a Mk1 GTI Golf we race, another wee Mk2 Golf and a 1999 Vauxhall Omega ( dad bought new, now with only 50,000 miles on the clock. )


So with my dad having Jag in his blood, owning a stunning Mk2 3.4 in BRG back in the day, and now having an '07 S-Type 2.7D SE Hi-Lux ( I found it for him under a year old... and ex-Jaguar Coventry owned car!!!!! ) it was only a matter of time before i got one myself ( having already built a show winning X-Type XS LE on XJR Rims two years ago )

So here is my latest steed.... my 2005 S-Type 2.7D... an ex-demo vehicle with over £6K of optional extras, full STR spec black leather and in rare Zircon blue.... My Omega and Golf in the background of one pic, and Dads S-Type in another....








My S is about to go into the workshop next week for another new cat ( boo ), full service including chain and rear diff oil, then getting lowered in preparation for wheels i am still deciding on, and into the bodyshop in 3 weeks for a respray... ( same colour )

Already, thankyou for the information and knowledge i have gained off reading this forum, and look forward to chatting to you all over time

Many thanks and regards

Si

 

Welcome to the forum, Si. That's quite a collection you've got. I envy your storage space.

 

Hi Si, welcome aboard, great to have you here with us at JF.
An excellent intro thanks so much for sharing, plenty of pics too, nice one!

No wonder I can't get a decent 2nd hand Golf....you have them all
I have an Audi A6 myself so am VAG as well, had to give the X type up a few years ago unfortunately, but there may be an XJR / XKR in my future, just not the near future unfortunately

Some great guys here, top techs, good info and more than a few laughs here n there, so jump in and enjoy......

manually upgraded you to full forum access so you can better view the site.......enjoy your time here

 

Welcome to the forum Si,

Wow, an impressive collection to be sure.

I'll look forward to seeing your progress with the Jag in the S section.

 

Hi Si! Welcome to the forums! Great intro wish they were all that detailed.

Good luck with your STR and keep us updated!
