Default Turning theory into practice.

Hello everyone!

I’ve been lurking, researching, comparing, and what if-ing for months now. I’ve read through many of these threads, watched how-to videos, shopped online for parts, and quizzed local mechanics before I even had a potential vehicle lined up.

Monday, I finally jumped in and we bought the car I’ve wanted for a long time. Over the next day and a half we drove 1,100 miles across four states to bring it home. Full disclosure, there were some concerns and a couple of tense moments.

Now that she’s home, the title of this post comes into play and the “catching up & sorting out” begins!

Glad to be here,
Paul

Welcome to the forums Paul,

Congratulations on your first Jaguar and on DRIVING IT HOME. I'm often amazed at how many US buyers have a vehicle delivered if it's even just out-of-town. Good to hear you found useful information here to assist with the research.

As you've already found your way to the XJS forum, there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to the Forums.

"a few tense moments", NEVER, its a Jaguar, FAITH is the key.

Well done on bringing it home the proper way.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forum Paul,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Hello, Paul,
Congratulations on your new XJS!
And, Good Job driving it home! There's no better way to learn exactly what a Jaguar needs/wants than to take it on a long trip. It's your first Bonding Experience. Future ones will come as you resolve those concerns.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
