Default Greetings from rainy and dreary England

Greetings and salutations fellow XJ junkies,
My name is Brad and I hail from the East Anglia region of England. I am originally from upstate NY right up by Lake Ontario but have been here for 15 years. I have owned a handful of ZJ's and XJ's and currently drive a 1998 XJ Sport with a 2.5 TD, 5 spd, NP231, D30 upfront and an 8.25in the rear. Pretty much stock with the exception of ZJ canyon's, 30x9.50 A/T's and XJ orvis leather interior.

See you on the boards,
Brad

I was in the Air Force for 22 years and retired here last year. My wife is British so we decided to stay for now.
