Update for my "new" Jaguar
James here from Bernardsville (central) NJ. I didn't see my board name on the latest list, so I'll reintroduce myself :-)
I am an older guy who has owned over 40 cars so far, most of them special interest types.
My first Jag was my 2004 X-Type base sedan with the 2.5 engine and a 5 speed. I searched a long time for that car with the manual transmission, cleaned it up and fettle the various things that needed doing myself. It was my daily for 3 years. yes.until I came across a *stunning* 2001 XK8 for sale at the local VW dealer 1/2 a mile up the road! I closed that deal for an excellent price a year ago, sold my X-Type to my youngest son cheaply, and the XK8 became my daily, and it makes me smile every day since. My wife *loves* it, which is huge plus :-)
We enjoy the social aspect of meets, and would love to attend them

Greetings from the great city of Boston MA. My brother recently acquired a Triumph Stag with a 350 dropped in, and mentioned the seller also had a '94 or '95 Jaguar XJR that was very clean that he was looking to sell. My last foray into the British sports car scene ended badly with the TR7 and I swore off anything British (except my wife at that time). Any guys out there in this region looking to comment on their earlier XJR's ?

Dave from Amsterdam, NY
Hi everyone! Just purchased my first Jag. I wasn't even looking for one but after a visit to a local museum and seeing a 1952 Jag XK120 I wondered about what that car would be worth. I started a search and found my newest toy that I just "had to have". A Florida car with 46k miles 2000 XKR convertible in Phoenix Red. My wife and I have always wondered what it would be like to have a convertible and now we do. Just in time for winter. This will be our fair weather ride. After doing a lot of research since the purchase in September, I'm a bit worried about some timing chain and tensioner issues with this model. To do the job right, I think I will need a good service garage. I don't feel comfortable doing this myself. I live in Amsterdam, NY (about 30 miles west of Albany) Do anyone of you have suggestions for a good motor repair shop? I'm considering the dealer, but I know that will be pricey. Thanks for any info you can give me.
The other issues I've found with the car are minor and I should be able to take care of them myself.
