Longtime Lurker, Now a Member
Hi everybody. Firstly, please accept my gratitude for all the advice and help I've gotten from this forum over the last several months while I've been lurking here. I've always admired Jags for their grace, elegance, and relative rarity, and I finally had the chance to buy one of my dream cars last summer - a low-mileage XK8 convertible. It is a '98, so it has it's share of quirks, but it's positively mood-altering when I get behind the wheel, which is fairly often. As gorgeous as it is, I bought it to drive it, and I've taken it from 29k miles to 37k in the last eight months, which includes a trouble-free cruise from NC to FL and back.
I've got some questions for you guys, so I hope you'll put up with me until I can start contributing meaningfully on my own. I'm nobody's definiton of a mechanic, but I am pretty handy and I've replaced alternators, starters, carbs, steering columns, etc. on other vehicles, though never on a Jag, mine or otherwise.
Anyway, happy motoring and thanks again!

Hey Sarge, welcome to the site, hope you're enjoying the experience so far!
Nice intro and glad you decided to join up....
Why not drop by the off topic section and add your pic to the mug shot thread? Maybe join in with some of the banter type threads? There's usually plenty going on!
