Finally my very own XKR vert

Today I feel like I graduated from hangaround to a full member of the community as the papers were signed on the car of my dreams. I found a 2007 XKR convertible (ebony/charcoal) with only 16500 miles on the meter. Full service book and all the bells and whistles that you can get on the car. I can now fully comprehend why people always want to write something about their experience as I have the feeling of being the luckiest guy on the planet! The car is (as you all know by now already) for the lack of a better word perfect!
Now... my biggest concern is: Why the hell is the car in Germany while I am up here in Sweden! Of minor concern is also the fact that there is still snow on the streets and I will have to drive it here on summertires...
Anyhow, just blatantly blaring out my joy.

Now that you've experienced that amazing sensation of automotive euphoria, Staffan, isn't it a shame that 99% of people who own a car will never know what you're talking about! I have friends who think cars are only a mode of transportation. They prefer white or tan exteriors, tan interiors and no options other than A/C. They want 4-cylinder engines because in their opinion, there's no need for anything more. They don't service their cars as they should and they wash them twice a year. They have no idea how to change the oil - let alone anything more complex. They think I'm crazy for buying a Jag XK Coupe when, for the same amount of money, I could have bought 2 or 3 (or 4) VWs instead. When I tell them my Jag is a piece of automotive art - something that I look at from every angle and remain in awe of the beautifully sculptured lines, the stance, the look of power, grace and elegance ... their face looks like a dog who's just heard a loud, unusual noise. They even cant their head to one side. I quickly realize there's no reason for me to describe to them how it drives! So, I just pat them and give them a Milkbone. Glad you're one of us! Welcome to our world! Enjoy your Cat and keep it sparkling!
