44. Love your name - loveatfirstsight. That pretty much sums up what happened when I saw my XKR.

Beginning at 44 years of age until now at 54. Bank account a little worse for wear, but still love my baby XKR convertible in Roman bronze ( first and only year for that color). Thank god for after market warranties have paid out over $32,000 in the last 8 years, on second warranty now, 81000 miles now. After market warranties the only way to fly in a Jaguar 2001 XKR and still have money for food or undies!!! LOL

27 years old- Was searching for the perfect CTS-V for months. I stumbled across a black 2003 XKR Coupe on ebay, I fell in love bid on her and lost the auction. The winner backed out of the sale and the owner called me up. Betty and I were meant to be.

I'm 59, retired for 10 years. 9/11 put me out of work. I was flow manager in Montreal ACC. Traffic slowed down so after 31 years, I took off. I joined at 18, got my license at 19 and radar (approach) at 22. Got my first E-Type V12 at 24 and miss it a lot. That's why I bought the '97 almost 10 years ago now. I don't plan to sell it ever. Back then it won over an SLK or a Boxter. But last year a 2007 Cayman won me. Now the cat goes out on sunny days only and the croc eats cats when it sees one, lol.

I'm just back from a trip to Cannes (drove 3000 km across Swiss, France and Italy, thank's to GPS). I saw one XK only, one XF, many XK8(R) and tons of Porsche, Audi (TT R8), Ferrari, Masserati, Bently etc. Not speaking of MB and BMW. BTW LED DRL's are on every recent cars and they look great.

MRomanik - I had a 69 E-type roadster BRG back in 71 when I was 20....those were the days.....but had the Jag jones since then. Owned a 70 XJ8 SWB until the trans went, had to ditch to raise the family. Now back to the fold, looking forward to the next roadster to complete the circle.

Picked up my silver 2000 coupe with 19,000 miles the day after my 61st birthday earlier this month. This is my 8th Jag since 1983, and found it locally after searching nationally for over a year.
