Wink Hello world

I'm looking to buy my first car ever at 26 (I'm from a country where people generally don't get cars and Jags are 10x the price they are here).

I figured the XK8 would be a good choice, a car with some soul left (even though it's not an XJS). So I need help to find a good one to begin with, heading over to the XK8 forum now

Hi jagosaurus
I see you are in San Francisco.
I know San Francisco is a strange place but I didn't know it was a strange country.
When I visit there I seem to be in another country!!!!
Welcome and I hope you find a good XK8!!

Ahahahaaha
I do agree.. SF is definitely a different country all together...
people walks a lot... ( i had to walk from Union Sq to North Beach ... up hill... many hills)
good public transportation ... makes commuting so easy and convenient.
i know a lot of people over there who never own a car...

I could be a very expensive investment owning a car over there... especially with the parking...

but anyhow.. (don't want to dampen you high spirit to own a Jag) go get yourself a nice Jag... and post a picture too us.

Welcome.

The off topic section can be fun and there's always the regional section so you can see who is around!

I've manually upgraded you to full forum access so you can better view all the sites features....

Thanks for the advice, the mystery country is Norway - land of the fjords, astronomical gas prices, car taxes and gettingyourgoddamnlisence costs (starts at ~$5000)
