This car is my passion
Hi everyone!
I am Michael from Bavaria and i own my dreamcar since March 2020:
A MY2008 Jaguar XKR Coupe with the great AJ34-S engine!
I am the second owner and got it with around 57K KM (approx. 36K Miles)
What can I say about it?
An ebony black car with caramel interior and the nice steering wheel with wood-refinement... what do you need more?
... well the alpine speakers are great as well...
... but... do I really need the sound of a HI-FI System when I have a supercharged V8?
Well... this problem can be seen as luxury
Did I/the pre owner change something?
Yes... but not quite much, because I think it is a fantastic car as it is:
The rear windows are now dark tinted (and it is removable!)
The pre-owner added spacers (which are removable as well)
Will there be any further changes?
I always wanted the Senta-Wheels because they look great on this car...
... and they are now in my basement!
The only "problem" is that this beast is not my daily and I drive about 2K KM per year with it...
... so the tires on the Carelia wheels are still in good condition.
Another first world problem...
I will search through my mobile phone later and add some photos.
I am looking forward to learn more about this great car, it's technique and the other people owning one!
Kind regards,
Michael
