New Member from Maryland
Hi guys, my name is Dan and I am from Maryland. I have been on this forum many many times, but somehow I never logged in.You may care that I have 2002 Green XKR with 84K and wrecked 99 XK8 with 60k that used to be mint, eat off the bottom beautiful and smooth and no problems for me. I was at an intersection in July that someone blew, plowing a 370Z that then spun and kicked the "battered princess" clean over 2 lanes and over a curb. Needless to say I am sore. I happened to find the XKR, same colors and also stunningly clean a couple weeks later and replaced the XK8. I have kept the XK8 for parts ($1,350 was a good price and I want the dash). My son drives a gorgeous 96 VDP with 230k on it. Otherwise, about me, I have always had british cars. I started with Hillmans, went to Sunbeams, had a sunbeam restoration shop for a time, I restored a 74 XJ-12L and it was quite beautiful and the engine was spectacular, but bad bits just wore me out. I had a TR-6 for a beater for 11 years and for a few years I had a 67 XKE coupe that I sold because it was 50 year old guy magnet. I just sold my Smartcar of 11 years, which saddens me because I really did beleive in the concept and loved it, but it had some constant sorting to do and I got tired of the contorted hands trying to reach things in the engine "bay". Thats me, a british car guy self inflicting over and over. Can't wait to post my questions!
