Default Officially a new member w/ an STR

I've been watching S-Type R's for a few years now (along with this site) and finally took the plunge. An '03 two owner with 45k miles, hopefully it will be reliable as my daily driver.

I plan to troll around alot here, from XK's to XFR's, so I hope to see most of you soon.

Default Welcome Plaster

Hi Plaster,

Welcome to the forum. You seem to be the careful type. That's good! It doesn't pay to be impulsive when it comes to buying cars ... unless you have very deep pockets.

Welcome fellow S Type brother, albeit I have the granny S ! The R boys in the S section will be nagging you about upgrades right from the start, I hope you have some deep pockets for the mods .

There is a thread called "lets see the STRs" don't forget to post a few pics there!

Congrats and see you in the S Type Section

Thank you, everybody. I treaded as carefully as I could to find the best match of condition / history / miles / price. While I'm still uncomfortable with the 1st gear shift points, the overall package is, happily, what I expected.

I'm waiting on the original wheels from the dealer so I can have them de-rashed and get some new tires. I'm currently rollin' the Blizzaks that came with it!

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

It does and if it did it was my mistake for saying it did not. It is important to have this information to provide you with an accurate response to questions. Sorry!
