A fine choice indeed. Did you opt for the manual or the automatic transmission?

Default Welcome

Hi and welcome from someone who has something in common (sort of). my last car was a 1990 BMW 735, which I was going to spend some money on and realised the sort of spec I could get on a Jag instead. So now I'm the very proud owner of a 1997 xj6 / x300 executive, with all the whistles and bells.

All the best with your new acquisition.

Hello Ace: I am new here too. Funny thing. I am coming off a 1986 BMW 535 which I have been driving since '88. You would think that I would just jump into another BMW. But a funny thing happened on the way thru Craigslist and now I'm lookin' at a Jag. I still don't know how this happened. Oh well. Anyway, Good luck with your car! Sounds like a nice one.
