Default New Member--Dallas, TX Area; 1999 XK8 Convertible

Hi. Recently picked up a black 1999 XK8 convertible. My reintroduction to older model Jags. I owned a mid-80's XJ-6 several years ago. Was looking for a sportscar this time and found one with relatively low mileage.

A few things to repair on this one, looking forward to all the information in these boards.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Yeah. I added it along with a picture, but I'm not sure why the sig is not showing up. Perhaps it's a minimum post thing or something.

EDIT: Well, there's the text. No pic yet though.
