Hi
I've just bought my first XK8 The dog outgrew my T bar MR2 Turbo and the wife said I looked stupid with my head stuck out the top. One had to go and as I was getting more miles out of the wife than the MR2, I bought my next project a BRG XK8. It's my least favorite colour but it was a local car, relatively low mileage and the right price. I'm going to use it on a holiday to the South of France next year, if it behaves itself, the following year it will be treated to a whole heap of "modifications". I was into custom cars in the 80's and I'm afraid I've never really grown out of it. It will happen, but for now, I've just bought some 18" BBS style alloys to tide me over.

Standard car, nothing to see here. Watch this space.

Welcome to the forum vmaxnick,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Your last one was a 420G - you have been away for a while!

I know you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link UK & Eire - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
