Talking Proud New Owner of a 97 XK8

I just got my wife a 97 Jaguar XK8 (Blue) Convertable. We traded a really nice looking 93 Mustang Convertable for it. My wife has been wanting a Jaguar since I sold her last one 20 years ago and it was a 89 XJ6.

Nice to find this forum and hope to be talking with everyone soon.

Welcome to this friendly Forum, Gordon (and Connie)
You can probably find your way around but the XK section is
XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
and there's a Regional section too

Enjoy your car and membership.

Welcome to the forum FlashGordon,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

You may need to downsize it using Picassa or whatever
The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).

Welcome to the forum Gordon & Connie,

Congratulations on the XK8.

Signature is showing up OK but follow Steve's advice on the pic size limits to add your SigPic.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
