New (to me) 2008 XKR Portfolio Coupe
I just bought this car over the weekend and would appreciate any info about what to watch out for.
I've wanted a late 60's Jaguar XKE since I was a kid but as I got older I realized that even if I could afford one, I wouldn't be able to really drive it.
My last "impractical" car was a '96 Eclipse GSX that I had for over a decade and 200k miles. Until last weekend I still missed that car. It was fun, nimble, and generally reliable.
After several days of driving the XKR I don't miss it as much.
