Default Welcome ALL!!!!

Hey everyone-
So far, I just want to say thanks for the assistance I have learned through the help of this forum! A big thanks to all of the garage mechanics, and shop mechanics out there, and jaguar specialists.

A few things first. I am a Full time firefighter, then on my days off I either work for an ambulance, or I come to the "shop". I am blessed as hell to work for a private car collector with 60 + cars. That includes six Jags!!!!! Anything ranging from a 1954 xk120 to a 2011 XJL. I guess I can mention the others since were saying hi. A 1994 XJS, a 1969 E type coupe (4.2L), a 1974 E type convertible (V12) and a 1957 XK 140. I obviously dont own ANY of these being a fireman, but I detail, drive, and do minor maintenance on them.

Prior to being a fireman I did mechanic work in exhaust and brake shops, Ive been at it ever since, and have about 9 years under my youthful belt. I HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN. I keep my BMW 325i in good working order, as well as my Toyota Tacoma, and Mitsubishi Montero. My project car is a 1990 Mazda Miata that I am doing an engine/transmission swap in. (LS1 with 6 speed manual) As of now it is still the stock engine with several upgrades to the brakes, bracing the framework, and suspension.

At any rate, I have lots of questions on Jaguars, and this seemed to be a good place to be! I hope to meet new friends, and learn alot more about these vehicles. Thank you all!!
