Me too.Recently bought my first one, I was a bit fed up with Mercs and Beemers.

 

There's a new XJ-S poulation near Bonham. 2 total, though only one roadworthy.

 

We should try to organize a meet somewhere is south Texas. Some of us may have to drive a ways but I can always use an excuse to drive..

 

Georgetown, checking in.

 

Very nice Georgetown, Sweet ride. Here is one from Houston

 

I'm game to drive down from Dallas. I haven't had my "R" on a road trip yet, since purchasing in September. Let's work it out. Happy Holidays!

 

Sounds great. We need to find out where that 85mph speed limit is.. Merry Christmas to you

 

That 85 limit may after the study is implemented , be posted on ih10 between MM 62- which is the start of Hudspeth County all the way till mm 520ish, which should be a bit past junction still on Ih10.

For now the speed limit is still 80, but then again each town is 120 miles away from each other, with not much inbetween.
Hence why its called the Texas Autobahn, cause everyone speeds just to get somewhere

 

Just bought an xk convertible and live in spring, so I'll be one more on the road

 

Add another Houston area Jag to the list.

 

Congrats HumbleJag. There is nothing like the beltway late at night to stretch out the legs on the Cat. Lets see some pics? Welcome to the forum. Enjoy

 

Add another here for Houston / Katy

 

Add one down in Friendswood! Agreed on letting the cat stretch its legs on the Beltway!

 

For new Jags we have one of the best economies in the US," Texas has the third-most millionaires of any state, with 381165" (not including the billionaires) . And I believe one reason older Jags are changing markets to lower income families is because of a misunderstood design change ... Zero loss transmissions! If you don't have a dipstick tube it doesn't mean you will never loose fluid, it only means you won't be able to check it when loss does occur through the same seals and gaskets that loose fluid in one with a dipstick tube. With that in mind I've seen dozens of Jags for sale around Dallas and Fort Worth with Transmission problems, some for less than 3 or 4 car payments! I bought my 2000 S-type 3.0 with a bad transmission last year and drove it to "death". I now look for Jags and see them every time I go to D/FW, and am anxiously awaiting for my Ford parts on order so I can finish rebuilding my first automatic transmission, which is out of a 2000 Lincoln LS 3.0.

 

When looking to purchase my new(all be it used) Jaguar, I found that the Houston Area had more for sale than the Dallas area. As a matter of fact, I am heading to Houston from Waco to go pick up my new baby on Wednesday

 

I am here, North Dallas Coit and Campbell area.......

Any cruises or GTG in Texas would be welcome.

On Friday nights I hang out with the mega HP street racers at GB and coit road. Typical Lambo's Vettes, Mustangs, GTR's etc.

Its more of a hang out than real street racing.

800-1200hp cars are the norm.

9-12 on friday behind the wells fargo bank.

 

The 85 limit is gonna be tested on a toll road, to see how it goes, but i only see that limit
from San Antonio to El Paso IH 10, anywhere else well there is more traffic

 

This is my first post. Live in Katy. 2005 Jaguar Super V8 BRG/Champagne.

 

Hello all, I bought my first Jaguar today, a 1997 XK8 convertible. I live in northwest Houston just south of Jersey Village, and work in the Galleria area. Looking forward to getting know fellow Jag owners!

 

Just adding to the List,

Here in Grapevine with 3 Jags right now!

Look at my sig, 2 in the Gallery need to do pics for the 3rd
