mike66 - 30 cents a gallon for premium gas! Those were the days. Iwas stationed in OK and drove home to PA on the old Rt.66

 

This is my 2nd Jag. Had an XJR and now an XKR. I do love the Rs. Just got back from a 2000 mile trip and averaged about 22 mpg. Simply amazing as is this forum. European cars all the way!

 

I just turned one half century !

This is my third Jag - all of them have been "Rs" Love 'em and hate 'em - But oh so niiiiice!

Ah, the memories of seeing Hendrix play live; Who perform Tommy at the Fillmore East for the first time in America, Stones gimme shelter tour in 69, and the beat goes on

45. Kicked my first into college this year, have two to go. Figured I was due for a cool car to help me pick up chicks.

Now if I could only remember how to do that. Maybe my wife can remind me.

 

30 (needed some posts so decided why the hezeus not start here)!

 

I'm 35, CEO of a small software company in the music industry. I don't know if it counts though, since I still haven't got my Jag. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I'll be a proud XKR convertible owner. (Having to wait a week more to drive it, due to the export/import procedure)

 

77 ......... prior owner of 3 Porsche ......... 15-20 Lincoln + 5-10 Buick

Guess this proves ..... you gain wisdom with age

Love my XK........................

Nothing but the best for your baby
air conditioned garage, Covercraft Dusttop car cover, like new condition

Saving my XK for when I get old!

 

We're both 58. The XK8 is hers. I'm far too tall to fit into it....

 

It looks like I am in the older mens group at 74, but driving my XKR makes me feel like a 40 year old again. I have always owned a convertible. When I was 16, I started with a 1949 Oldsmobile 98, then owned the following verts through the years, 1961 MG midget, 1970 Mercedes 280 SL, 1983 Chrysler La Baron, 1985 Maserati BI turbo, 2000 Toyota Solara, 2005 Toyota Solara, and the current 2001 XK8 and 2003 XKR Jaguars. I loved them all, but the XKR is my real love now, except for my wife, and will probably be my last. My wife prefers her RX 400h Lexus, but likes driving with me in the Jags with the top down.

 

I am 57.

Bought my 1st Jag in 1984 when 29.
Jags ever since.

 

I remember those days. I had just got married, bought a new 1961 Ford 2 door Fairlane with my Navy re up bonus and drove from Greensburg, PA to Treasure Island, CA, via route 66, for ET "B" school. I would like to do that again in my XKR someday.

I'm now into my first Jag. 'Better late than never!

 

40. gave up the crotch rocket and got the sexiest car on my block.

 

oh....this is my first Jag/xkr and my first ever car payment! best money I ever spent!

 

32

My first Jag but have had a thing for British cars since the beginning.

Quirky: 65 Sunbeam Alpine
Masochistic: 64 Sunbeam Tiger (still have it)
Just plain fun: 03 Mini

After those a sane person would get something boring and German but there is nothing on the road with more presence of an XK.

Understated and elegant, composed but powerful; I just love the lines of the coupe and have never gotten more compliments on any car.

 

Hey I am 50. Tomorrow the wife and I are going to see the Dave Matthews Band.

You are never to old to rock and roll!

 

45 me 29 her

 

Wow, now you made me remember I'm 55. First Jag at 23, 1980, was a 74 XKE Roadster and I was hooked. Spent all my money and then some. Insurance payment was more monthly then the car payment, LOL. Only one 5 year period since where I didnt own a Jag and Ive owned too many other cars to count.
