Hello to everyone. I fell in love with Jaguars over 40 years ago, when I met my first E-Type. So I'm embarrassed to admit that, rather belatedly, I'm only just about to become the proud owner of my first Jaguar - a silver 2005 XK8 convertible in immaculate condition, having had one owner from new and with a seemingly genuine 25k miles on the clock. I collect the car next week and will drive it out here to the Alps (near Chamonix), where it will reside for the summer. Along with my Defender (and my 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs), the XK8 will become my hobby. I joined this forum as there are several areas where I will need advice - LHD headlights, sound system upgrade, satnav upgrade etc - and at first glance I cannot believe the quality, maturity and general excellence of the posts, which are in stark contrast to some of the Land Rover sites I have used. I very much look forward to learning and benefiting from the available wisdom and perhaps to contributing myself in due course.

 

Hi Ian,
As you are probably aware, this is a very friendly forum so welcome.
Look forward to hearing of your planned upgrades but most of all, enjoy the car and the forum.
