Default Hey all!

My wife and I just purchased an '05 XK8 convertible, our first Jag. Have appreciated their beauty for quite a while, and now they have depreciated enough to be into our price range Waiting for sunny weather to fully put the car through it's paces with the top down. Found you folks through a Google search and have seen a lot of really good questions asked and answered, and it has already been of great help in narrowing down our search and finally securing the beloved Jag to grace our driveway.

See you in the threads!

Thomas

Welcome Thomas! You live in a great location for cruising around in that convertible. Great for wine tasting in the Shenandoah Valley, a favorite outing when we get together with our daughter in Fair Oaks. She has a Jag too. We used to visit Auburn a lot when she lived in Meadow Vista. Perhaps we'll cross paths one of these days.

Yes- blessed to live in California. Planning a road trip as soon as weather improves. The coast is calling... If you see a bearded guy in a driving cap with a big grin in a dark grey XK and a lovely lady in the passenger seat, give a wave
