I'm sure lots of us have watched his YouTube videos and found them helpful. I just watched one on the convertible top. Guessing he is a forum member but never seen himself or anyone else identify his username. Maybe he is incognito to prevent a 100 PMs a day. If you know his username but he wants to stay in the shadows, don't rat him out.

 

He is my new hero, love that guy.
Quite the information spot for a new Jaguar owner such as myself.

 

I'm pretty sure he's on here as I've heard him refer to a couple of things I recognised from the forum - he's my guru on so many things XK8!

It'd be nice to know he's on here just to thank him...

 

I follow XK8/XKR auctions on Bring A Trailer. I suggest to noobs that they go out to his series and find out about Jaguars. That's what I did. They are incredibly well engineered cars, and John has done some great videos.

Thanks John.

 

Sometimes a bit long-winded at times (I'm a "to-the-point" guy when watching how-to videos) but certainly invaluable. Watched his vids on suspension and exhaust numerous times to prep for doing mine.

 

He is very informative and entertaining.

And is not afraid of posting a video where he has a mishap. No hubris there, and nice to see.

I recall the one where he left the hood (bonnet ?) up when he was lifting the car. There was a crunch when it hit the ceiling. Ouch !
