I'm going to be a Jaguar technician.

[Trooper2]

I interviewed for a spot at the Jaguar P.A.C.E. (Professional automotive career education) school this morning and was accepted. There is a good chance I will also get cross-trained as a Land Rover tech, or slimmer chance to be cross trained for Aston Martin.

So when I graduate from U.T.I. here in Phoenix on 3/31/06 I've got to pack up and relocate to Orlando, Florida by 4/24 for advanced training with Jaguar of North America.


I know blowing ones own horn is frowned upon in these here parts, but hope this comes to you all as noteworthy, as it is definitely car related.

Let me know when you make it to Mickey Town and I'll meet you out for a beer...

Root beer for me.

Excellent, prepare to be bombarded with e-mail from PH Jag owners!

When you discover which sticking relay kills the battery in my S-Type about once a month, let me know which one

Sorry I originally missed this post.
Good luck with Jaguar, looks like you're joining the Jaguar family as I'm leaving it.
Hope you find it as an enlightening and educational experience as I did.....
I have nothing but respect for the AJV8 and AJV6 engines and I put so much into them.

Don't buy a house where we had ours in Orlando. It blew down. Twice.

Congrats with the job though!

I got your email address john
If you see Tess, Lorn, Lee, and the usual Nottingham crew let them know that I've left now also, ok? Cheers!

[Trooper2]

Thank You for the good wishes Marquis and Jonna..

Enjoy Germany and the rear wheel drive torque monsters!



Up-The dubs thanks for the tip, I'll be putting most of my stuff in storage here in Arizona and renting, so if something does get blown down it won't be mine!..
