And I'll reward the old girl with a polished burl wood shift knob for Christmas.

She's been my daily driver for 3 years come January and has not left me stranded!

Knock on burl wood.

Excellent, hopefully I'll have similar luck with mine

.

 

Glad to hear it! Bought my 96 X300 with 113k on it in August 2005. Now have 183k and st7ll going strong.

 

Good to hear Joe. So many horror stories on how unreliable Jags are it's good to see a more positive comment,

May it be trouble free for many,many more miles.

 

Congrats, Joe!

 

Joe- Good to hear you have finally gotten it through the break in period!
It is like mine was, you have that many miles of life left in the mechanicals. No so much for the paint and the trim parts, especially if you leave it outside.

 

Exactly, Ross. Paint is starting to crack in several places, the seats have some surface cracks, and my driver's side interior B-pillar trim is falling apart.

But the mechanicals are working fine.

I still love it as my daily driver though. I only see one or two others a week in my work commute and such.

 

PM me if you need any parts- If I have still have the ones you need, the price would be right.

 

Will do. Thanks.
