Hi everyone,
I've been running a 2000 XJ8 4.0 for a couple of years now. Mainly a happy experience although this car has more "personality" than any I've owned before. It's my first Jag, and when it's in the right mood, is a real pleasure to drive. Get in on a bad day though, and the experience is less pleasant.
It also seems to have become my wife's car somehow. She suffers with carpal tunnel in her left wrist and maintains that the gearbox on the Punto (which seems to be my car now) causes her great discomfort. However, a bit like the dog, when the Jag misbehaves it is once again all mine.
I can still enjoy looking at it on my drive every evening though![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
