New XK Owner
Hey all, I’m Mike, I live in the Nashville area and I recently acquired my passion project, a 2009 Jaguar XK 4.2 with 187,000 miles. The previous owner did a fairly good job with maintaining and servicing the car, as it looks good and drives beautifully. Its currently in for inspection and a fluid change from Jaguar, so I’m holding my breath. My father has a 2005 XKR Convertible, and has loved it all the way through 130,000 miles. It’s a family thing I suppose!
I drive the car on the good days and keep it in on the bad, I treat it like it has 30 miles on the clock for now. They just simply don’t make this breed of car anymore and I’ve always loved the British GTs. I plan on having the XK all set and sound mechanically and cosmetically for my 30th birthday, I’m giving myself the time to be able to have anything and everything addressed the right way.
Thanks all, and I’m sure I’ll be seeking the help and advise of many here on the forum!
