Hello, I'm Sharon, a 55 year very young Army Veteran and proud new owner of a 2003 XJ8 white. I was looking for a car my father gave me in high school back in 1983 a '76 Dodge Dart Swinger when I saw the Jaguar's, which I always wanted. I took my grandson at the time 3, My Lil Heartbeat goes everywhere I go when I make any large purchases for myself or for him, lol. We woke up started our Journey on a Monday morning at 6am drove 2 hours and saw a 2005 Jaguar, I did not like it because it had no appeal like the older models. We drove back another 2 hours and BAM love at first sight. The car was manufactured in 2002 but as usual the USA has to change things up so it's a 2003 XJ8 long body, wide, sits low, purrs like a kitten handles curves like a snuggle bunny. There is nothing like the Saloon Jaguar, for myself in my opinion. I told my grandson, "now that's Old Skool". Now he says, "it's Old School grandma". I love My Lil Heartbeat.

The other day I found another Jaguar a Vanden Plas for $6k, and he said, now at 4 yrs old, "that's old school grandma, but it's small". I love my grandson and I love my OLE SKOOL JAG! I am having a couple of issues, but after reading the "INTRO", I will not post that here. I will post pics as soon as I stop fighting my computer on uploading from an iPhone. smh.

Well that's all I have, hopefully this will be a great place to learn more about the Jaguar especially since mine did not come with a manual and I cannot find one.
Be Bless, Be Safe!
