Third Time is a Charm
Hi Everyone.
Arthur (Truck Graphics -- I'm a sign man!) here.
Just bought a '97 XK8 Coupe.
Lovely car.
Doesn't run.
This is my third Jaguar. Had a 1962 E-type convertible in high school. (It cost about 100 times less than an E-type today. At the time, it was just a well used foreign car. Most of my friends had American Muscle cars.) Rebuilt the cylinder head in my driveway on that one.
Also owned an '94 XJ-6. Was my daily driver. Loved that car!
Just bought a '97 XK8 Coupe. Love the lines. Car looks good, but needs work, as they say. I've played with cars all my life, but am not a mechanical expert. Just an enthusiast. I'll show myself out to the tech forums now.
Looking to enjoy the community and learn something from the experts here. (Like how to get my car running !)
