Appleton, travel most of the state ! Wisconsin is truly a great place

 

Welcome, Tobias. Hope to see you on the roads. Transplanted from MN, but yes, WI is a great place.

 

I'm in Beloit!

 

Welcome to the forum, I'm just a little North of you in Townsend

 

Greetings, earthdogjim! I'm a little further north than Kurt, near Madison. But, I bought a Jag in Beloit once…

Welcome to the forum.
cheers,
Scott

 

Just joined the forum today, and picked up my first Jag this weekend! I'm just outside of Madison in Sun Prairie. Hope some of you veterans can help me out. I am clueless when it comes to Jaguar lol

 

Greetings spdfreak04, and welcome to the forum! You'll find that being part of a forum like this will greatly help your Jaguar ownership, especially if you don't have a ton of experience with the brand. Depending on what car you have, there's lots of things you can do yourself. Do you already have a good independent mechanic to work on the stuff you can't? Thankfully, Madison has a few of them.

Cheers,
Scott

 

Hello spdfreak04
When you have an opportunity please fill out a profile on what year and type of Jag your driving. The forum has helped me out of several tough situations, no need to reinvent the wheel with so much expertize from the membership.

 

Since this post I have updated my signature to include my year and make. As far as mechanics go I do all of my own work from brakes to engine rebuilds, I am very fluent with the automotive industry, but Jaguars are new to me. This one was a gift for my birthday from my grandparents, so I intend to use the best of the situation and really go through the car with a fine tooth comb to fix what is necessary.

new to the area. we moved from Indy to Appleton back in October. love the area! lots of arts and crafts shows, nature centers and just beautiful scenery in general. haven't ventured out too far due to my work schedule but we have made it to Lambeau Field and ate at Curlys. later this month we plan on a road trip to Sturgeon Bay and Door County. can't wait!


I'll be checking in from time to time and see what's new with Jaguars in the Fox Valley and Wisconsin.

 

Hey dont know when your coming up to Sturgeon Bay/Door County area or if you already came, but if you looking for something to do Sturgeon Bay has local dirt track racing on saturday nights starting at 6 or 7ish (I cant completely remember which one). Not sure if you're into that sort thing or not but thought I'd try and help with a little tourism. We got a car up there and I think racing is done at the end of august though.

 

Another XK8/R drove past me in Manitowoc yesterday. It looked like it was turning in somewhere so I whipped around to go check it out. Turns out he may have been doing the same thing, and we passed each other again going the opposite directions...

 

Just stumbled across this thread.
Hello Packer fans!
From Stevens Point but now live in the "Seventy Square Miles Surrounded by Reality" city of Madison.
Dale

 

Welcome Dale. I went to UWSP for three years - quite a while ago now. Also lived in Madison twice after that and now just a bit of town. I'll keep my eyes open for you in your '87!

cheers,
Scott

 

Welcome to Madison, Dale. I just cleaned up my '85 XJ6 yesterday in the beautiful weather. Haven't had much chance to get it out with all the rain. I'll be looking for yours as I'm out tooling around.

Also, Jag lovers in the Madison area; not sure if you know about Cars and Coffee in Lake Mills. I believe they meet the third Sunday of every month. The might be done for the year. Haven't been there myself yet, but would like to check it out.

Welcome Dale. Got any relatives in Cedarburg?


Your comment about Mad town indicates that you have a rational head on your shoulders. Hard to stay that way in that town. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

 

No relatives in Cedarburg, that I am aware of anyway.
Ah yes, Madison. The city of the perpetually offended.

 

Hey All,
I am from the East Side of Milwaukee. I grew up in a small town called Tomahawk in Northern Wisco and then went to college over in La Crosse. This is my first Jaguar and I love it so far. Any one have any recommendations for a local independent mechanic?

 

Welcome, Thor82: although I now live near Madison, I know the Tomahawk area very well. My family's "up north" place is in Harrison Hills; and I hunt with the cousins just a couple miles out of Tomahawk on Hwy 86.

Can't help you with mechanic recommendations, alas. Dig through old posts to see if anyone has recommended somebody in your area. Otherwise, perhaps somebody else will chime in!

Welcome again,
Scott

 

Hello all, Eau Claire here born and raised. My XKR is lonely, I have only seen one other XK8 in town since I started paying attention 15 years ago or so-ish. The town is full of X type and S type and a few XJ's some of which used to be mine. Hope to see others soon.
