Default A Warm Welcome from the Colonies!

Hello All!

My name's Nicholas, a 27 year-old who is quite old at heart! First Generation Canadian from a Suffolk family - miss the countryside and coast deeply, but I've settled in the most British Canadian city, so I suppose I can't complain!

I'm currently looking for my second Jag, having owned a 2002 XJ8 for a summer (the plan was to import and flip it from the USA and it succeeded, albeit not as profitably as I would have liked!). I've completely my B.A. and I begin my M.A. in the fall, and I hope to complete this transition to 21st-Century adulthood by acquiring a new Jaguar! It'd be a great tribute to my family (who restored and raced old classics in the UK for ages), and I simply love them.

Hope this forums a friendly one! I look forward to chatting with you all, and maybe meeting some of the more local folks!

Cheers,

Nicholas

Welcome to the forum Nicholas,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

If you go for another XJ8, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-x350-x358-28/ to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

I can see you have already posted in the Canada Region forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Good luck in the search for you next Jaguar and enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've definitely bookmarked the resources you've provided - thanks so much!

I've also posted a wee story about a test drive I had today in my search for my next Jag. It's in the Off-Topic section - have a read if you'd like!

Welcome nmaclennan34! Check out the Pacific Northwest section for drives and gatherings near you. We have a number of BC members on the forum, especially in the greater Vancouver area. Certainly don’t miss the All British Field Meet and the famous Jaguars on the Island. While many of the drives are a bit south of you, Victoria is just a ferry ride away for all of us!

PS, you won’t find a more friendly car forum!
