Hi everyone, just tipping my hat to existing members.
Picked up my 2000 XKR a few weeks ago and, well, it's been fun! Having waited over a decade (long story) to eventually own one it's one of those "dream come true" moments which I will always remember.
The good weather here in the UK has helped, and I've had the roof down at every opportunity, but I'm not sure I will ever get bored of the sound and feel of this car. Hey, I still smile each morning whenever I see the R on the driveway! Hopefully, you lot get that one!
Anyway, good to be part of the forum as I have a few questions I will throw out there in the coming weeks and months.
All the best

Hi gents,
Good to know the North/South divide is alive and well, and prospering.
I do admit to being a proud South Londoner (I know people from the North, London that is...) and, by default, a proud Southerner.
I had no idea of the Midlands exodus to the South, although I would imagine the lack of employment down there would make people book return tickets, just in case.
Well, I'm in "spend mode" on the car right now, having invested over a grand with Harewoods, my local Jag dealership just outside Gatwick. Passenger seat didn't move, so a new module under that, drivers side windows and mirror control panel too, plus a few extra bits and pieces. Oh, well. I like to think its all worth it. But they came up with something I didn't expect; their tech guy said I couldn't replace my old three-piece grill with a single grill and drop the number-plate, which I find a bit odd, especially as Jaguar offer the service on their main website!
Anyone got a similar experience?
Chris
