Wow...
I've done a third of that (4200 miles) in the last two weeks!
90K miles and purring strong! (Catch me if you can!)

Quick thread hijack here.. sorry.. but I think 220,000 is the highest mileage XK8 I've heard of! Good to know it was still running strong, as I plan to keep mine forever. Did you rebuild the transmission/have any major engine work?

Did transmission about 150K as the dealer told me they were filed for life and didn't require changing . That was also before I found the forum. Got a ZF factory rebuilt and went from there.
No rebuild on the engine yet but I'm sure she could use one (burns some oil). Won't due to the fact it'd be cheaper to buy a new used one . That's why I passed it off to my father to enjoy. Served me well for 8yrs and was only down for 2wks while the transmission was replaced. Just didn't want to put her through another winter here. Figured he could have some fun with it and as long as he checks the oil it's all good.
Car sat all winter with the maintainer on it then started right up and purrs like a kitten. He pulled it up to the front garage and then wouldn't start because gear selector cable needed adjustment and just resolved that. Post is in X100 Forum. After adjustment started right up again and hopefully he can enjoy it for many years to come.

Circa 106,000 on a 2007 XK. Usually only drive it on Thursdays. Some day trips have been over 500 miles. Like to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway at night. It's 125+ miles away. Only real complaint is the air conditioner condensation ****-up. Aside from sets of tires, the one single most expensive bill was a precautionary transmission service by a ZF specialist for slightly less than $700 @103,000. Knock-on-wood.

What did that service include? The regular service kit (pan, filter, oil) installed is around $500-600. I did it on two Jag's, but one was due to cracked pan at 15K and the other was because it hit 50K and wanted to be proactive.
