Default XJ8 intro

As a lifelong Manchester United fan I was brought into the world of Jaguar by Steve Bruce, in particular his debut novel 'Striker!' his description of owning the car and being at one with the vehicle in this book set my curiosity going. I had been a merc man until I read Striker! (in about 2010) but I haven't looked back since. Reading this book changed my life and my outlook on life, if there are any XJ8 owners in the Telford area I am keen to meet up and share stories (not required to be a man utd fan that was just background).

Hello,
Yes, it's a little known Fact (actually Very well known, little published), that one does not OWN a Jaguar, the Jaguar OWNS the title holder.
Jaguars Choose their "owners," not the other way round.
As with any successful relationship, this means a depth of Bonding and commitment is required.
If all this is done Properly, the relationship between car and Title Holder will be a long and satisfying one.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forums wihtric,

Good to have you with us.

As I know nothing about football or footballers, I'll have to assume this is the early 1997-2003 X308. If so, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ 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. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
