Finally my 03, XK8
I will make this brief. I finally talked my wife into allowing me to get a dually pick up truck. So there I am online looking for a truck and I came across this XK8 and I had to have it. My wife thought it was not practical being that I have a BMW 745i and she maybe right, but the car lured me in and I couldn't resist. I've always thought that the Jag Xk8 coupe was the hottest car on the road and that includes the new XK's. I have owned a lot of nice cars, but this is by far the hottest and coolest car I have ever owned. I'm in LOVE.

Welcome to the forum Kimokimara.
Congratulations on the XK8. It looks superb. Can't see you regretting not getting the truck anytime soon.

For the size car these are, the trunks are relatively large- surprisingly so on the convertible too. Gotta love that long deck.

I'm glad that these cars appreciated they way they have because I finally bought that XK8... and fell in love with it so much I had to have an 05 XKR. It's been almost 2 years since I bought my XKR and the honeymoon period really isn't over. I've never loved a car as much as my XKR.
Grats on your new Jaguar!

I feel the same. I remember when Jaguar first unveiled the XK8, I wanted one so badly, but wouldn't have been able to pull off the price tag.

Agreed 100%. I have owned about 30 cars, new and used, but I have never 'loved' a car as much as I do my XKR. I suspect that all these little jobs we have to do on them to keep them on the road actually helps forge a relationship you don't necessarily get with more modern cars.

And I hate to admit this, but sometimes I feel a little lost when there isn't something to fix or adjust. Luckily, this doesn't last too long.

Very few cars have had such an emotional hold on me as my XK8 (another was an E-type). Makes me feel better every time I drive it.
