This is my first Jag, a 2014 F-Type V8 S in Italian Racing Red. Not my first convertible or my first red two-seater but a very different car from the other two. I'm loving its dual personality, how it can be a proper gentleman - quiet and civilized, ready to be valet parked at a nice restaurant - or a mischievous kitten - raucous and spirited when it pounces on a gap in traffic or roars up a mountain road. It's also just utterly beautiful from every angle and as every F-Type owner knows, makes some truly glorious noises. 🎶
I bought it from a dealer in Texas who shipped it up to me in August and have been lurking on the forum soaking up information but am just now posting this.. 🤷♂️ I haven't found anything yet I need to change about it, but I am still digging into how the maintenance will work and trying to be prepared, as I like to work on my own cars whenever possible. My local dealer did an inspection and gave me a list of a few things to be ready for, starting with the rear brakes. Since that requires negotiating with the computer to release the EPB I'm trying to get a working SDD software setup. I'd also really like to adjust the headlights higher. But no major complains after 3 months, it's a fantastic car!
Hello,
Congratulations on your new RED F-type Jaguar!
You're still in the Getting To Know You period. Enjoy it as you DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF in a manner worthy of the name Jaguar!
Good to have you with us. Not often we get an action photo posted.

Thanks!
I'm in this fantastic regional drivers' club called Avants (Seattle, Portland, Denver chapters so far) that plans events for us all the time, and staffs them with photographers to get pictures like this for everyone who attends. I'll have lots more next season I'm sure - the F-Type and I are signed up for a couple of weekend rallies next summer already.
And also I spent a couple hours today at a car photo studio - another opportunity arranged by the Avants club - getting portraits taken. This is just my iPhone while they were shooting, I'll post the real shots when I get them. I'm so excited about it, the car is so beautiful and they really loved it and knew how to make the lines and curves shine!
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
