I wish I lived in the south like some of these posters and I'd just drive my XKR year round. These are great cars. I'm only 26 but I think I'm going to keep buying old man Jags for quite a while!

I've now reached a point where I'm seriously considering an X308 (preferred) or X350 XJR to replace my A8L daily driver. My Jaguar has been outstandingly reliable and easy to work on, the A8 has not been. My dad said he never thought he'd see the day somebody went to an English car for reliability...

60 for a few days... Feel like 30. Active and busy. My philosophy; keep movin or they will nail yer feet to the ground. Wonderful complement the other day by a very sweet 20 year old young lady. While renewing my boat ramp reg. Noted a sign above for a senior discount. Never asked before ( these boat ramp registrations are $$) " oh you'd need to be 60". I said I think I'am there. Young lady re looked at my license to see. " sure do not look it." made my day... Advise. cut your own lawn. get off your butt, walk, ride a bike, do things that make you feel good inside. Like drive a XK8 top dwn. Oh need to wear driving gloves. I do have a pipe holder on the dash. Effect only. Good day, Rich

Well, I was 41 when I bought the XK8 in 2000. I was 51 when I sold it, and now 55 when I bought the same car back again. Yes, it was on purpose.

Also something I heard a bit back. " It is much better to be over the hill that a part of the hill ". When ever I feel down about getting older I think of that and chuckle and carry on.
