Hi everyone
10 days into ownership of my gorgeous (truly think they are one of the best looking cars on the road today) MY15 Storm Grey V8R AWD Coupe.
Like some others here, previously owned R35 GTR and most recently MY10 RR Sport S/C - like to keep it in the same engine family
Never had Jag previously - though I did have a flirty affair with my brother's 97 XK8 last decade - really looking forward to getting to know my beast better.
Have just had exhaust box replaced under warranty for faulty valve, have ordered the Knightspeed phone holder and as of today now shod in 305/265 MP4Ss all round.
Absolutely loving the remote start feature with the app - sure it will annoy the wife eventually but not so far . She's not a big petrolhead but thanks to some ?divine influence is disproportionately into the sound of my cars and thus absolutely loves this one - doesn't like me to turn off the loud button (as if...)
Looking forward to interacting with like-minded (aka childishly pleased) F Type owners

Thank you David- also agree with your sentiments of the Jag being more refined - but with regards to not feeling as connected as the GTR from the outset I'd say my initial impressions are different rather than lacking

Thanks again Aitch
No - tyres were really on the limit so needed replacing - huge difference already - may either part ex the current rims against some Storm or Blade alloys at some point or else just have them done all black/graphite - as SWMBO just reminded me 'obviously' none of that is necessary just yet...
