    Another Jag fan! I've got a nice 2005 fully loaded 4.2 (with lots of extras and toys & mods) sitting on my drive waiting to be sold :D

    I like this forum. Good bunch of gents on here! And even some Jag fans! I've had 3 X-Types in the past, and now my S Type. Started on the 2.1 V6 and slowly made my way up the the V8 S/T. Always been a dream to own a V8 Jag. I don't wish to come across as some rich snob haha I'm far from that - I'm a Landscape Gardener/Tree Surgeon and live on a Council Estate (Luckily one of the only decent respectable surviving ones) so I literally have started from the bottom! My first four cars were fiats!! But you know as they say work hard and play hard. Now I have a much respected bike to my name I've noticed other bikers giving me the nod/wave more, compared to the SV, cars are more for giving way, and the kids point and stare at my bike. Real proud moment.

    (Oh, and the £1000 S Type is up for £3500, a real bargain if I don't say so myself :D)

    Just like the Jaguar forum then! Except most of those are a bunch of really old gits, funny as hell and could have you up all night with all the war stories but then would fall over at the sight of a bike let alone being sat on one! Being sat in the Jags arm chairs for too long with the pipe has took an adverse affect on most of them, surprised how most of them can still legally drive to be honest!

    Got to admit, I may well be one of the youngest Sprint riders on here, but i feel i fit in well and feel right at home.

    Welcome to the forum Ryan.
    Nice looking bike you've chosen.
    I had Mk2 2.4 Jag which I ran for about 8 years in the 80s, bit underpowered for the weight of the car but still a beautiful motor, went all over in it and the fuel was a lot cheaper back then.

    Hi and welcome. Dont even own a Triumph at the moment (mrs does) but still hang around here because I like the folks on here. Like Jags myself and hired this from Avis Prestige for a long weekend away with the good lady
