1983 XJ6
Hi All,
I’m a new joiner to the forum. Having gotten my love of Jags from my father, I finally got my hands on my first one in September 2016. I purchased it from the original owner who owned it from new. He used it sparingly for 20 years until he parked it in his barn in 2003, and there it sat until 2016. It’s a 1983 XJ6 3.4 automatic. 21,000 miles on the clock. Even when it gives me trouble, it’s hard to get annoyed at it – it’s fast becoming my third child!
I just wanted to say hello, and also thank you for some insight and guidance provided here during my lurking days.

Hello again, Girv,
Very nice example of our beloved Xj6!
I'll go out on a limb here and say you're not the only one who considers your Jag as not only a member of the family, but also a dependent. Most if not all of us have given our cars names, almost all of us *Know* our cars are girls, and as you say, even if/when they give us trouble (or maybe because they do) we love them and couldn't imagine life without them.
Welcome to our playroom from ElinorB.

The Office copy shop wanted $182.00 to run the book through the machine, make it a PDF and transfer to a thumb drive!!
The excuse was it's so fragile it has to be done by hand rather than auto-load and that's time consuming.
I'll just have to figure out how to do it myself...
