Default Hello from Key West, FL, USA!!

Hello everybody! My name is Pavel aka prostik. Just bought my first cat - Jaguar XJ8 2001 in pretty good condition with 138k mileage. But 12 years for car is not too little and my car has something to fix. That's why I'm here!!!
And one more thing - my first language is Russian and my English still not exellent, so I'm sorry if I'll say something you'll not understand - I'm trying ;-)
And that is my catty attached!!!

Hi Pavel, welcome to the forum. That's a beautiful picture of your cat! Wow, like liquid black ink. Every car has SOMETHING to fix, just enjoy all the bits that don't need fixing, after all, you're living in exotic, exciting, Key West. Go give the six-toed furry cats at Hemingway's House a pet for me.
Steve

Oil gone - has something cracked and dumped all the oil?

Overheating the Jaguar V8 can do serious damage. Let us know what has happened when you get it towed and checked.
