Daily driver with 70 mile commute to work and back! Really hope she last a long time as I do not believe I would be able to get my $$$ back out as the NASKIL engine syndrome has effected my car. Thanks to BRUTAL and GUS my concerns were calmed and my Jag is running great.

Seven days a week. I carpool with a couple of ladies from work, so two out of three weeks I only drive about 1/2 a mile to our meeting place. My week to drive I drive about 15 miles each way.

Bought my '98 XK8 in 12/06 with 30K. Now have 94K. Only time I'm not out is when the snow plows are. I borrow the brides '07 AWD X-type on the snow days. It gets around as good as the big SUVs. Jack

Summer weekender, but soon moving to Daytona so expect to be alot more often (beer runs). BTW Turbo, off topic, but I think Brutal or some other tech recommended Restore in your engine to help keep up compression in Nikasil engines. Could be worth a try.
