Karl,

I can see why you went for the one with the bigger driveway.

...and now you can start filling up the parcel shelf from your seat delete with something besides your umbrellas.

Wonder how many trophies will fit there?

Default Sands point reserve - long island

The kitty was scheduled for an afternoon transmission oil service, so I took a few hours off to relax by the water. Sands Point Preserve (The Historic Estate) is a place I visit frequently, mostly with friends and family for afternoon picnics on weekends. Today the place was quiet, free of tourists and visitors, so I decided to take some pics of my Jaguar (I love this car!!!). Sitting at home now and looking at the pics I snapped earlier, I feel as if I've visited England. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Dev,
That's a perfect setting for your Jaguar. She looks at home there!

Dev,

Beautiful car in a beautiful setting. Very nice!

The coupes in your color have always been my favorite combination.

Thanks for the pics.

Very nice pics against a classic piece of architecture. I really dig those wheels--if you don't me asking who made those? They look related to the Sepangs.

I don't mind at all. Here is my write up on the wheels:

Default Dee Tee's XK8

Ok, I'll play this game as well - 1999 XK8 bought two years ago with 14,855 miles, original sales receipt, full paperwork and never taken out in the rain! I've taken to Europe touring in 2013 and this year - now 21,000 miles.

Default My XK8

Hi All!


My 97' XK8 just got it and loving it! I'm modifying the exhaust system in a couple weeks, removing two of the five mufflers and installing flowmasters.

Some quick and awful pics of the '97 XK8 I bought about 3 weeks ago...








Even my cat approved by giving it a cat scan in the rain.

Nice Cats - both of them.

Is the furry one a Russian Blue? We had two from the same litter. One lived to 17 and the other to 19. Extraordinary age for pedigree cats.

He appears to be a Russian Blue but he is not pedigreed. He had been living under my house last winter so I took him in. I also have a Tortie cat. I've had 2 other Russian Blues and one made it to 18 and the other made it one month shy of 20. They are very hearty cats it seems.

I love cats however that one might only live another day or so if it kept sitting on my Jag.

I think there's no Phoenix Red coupé as of yet in this thread, so I'll add mine!

Talking The PC car and the lifestyle car

Here is our PC car and our lifestyle car. The 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid has been made into a plug-in with the addition of a 7 KW li-ion battery bank. It gets 60 mpg when the battery bank is charged from my home solar array. That is good for about 25 miles then I get the normal 30 mpg of a conventional Ford Escape Hybrid. Oh, the Jag mileage? 16.4. But we only drive it on weekends! Can't be PC all the time!
