I think I may have actually seen your Jag in the UCF Area.

My friend goes to school there and I usually cruise by there whenever I'm back in town. I'm about 30 minutes away. I take 95 to get to 50 to go there- I'm in Brevard County if you're familiar with the area. Your Jag looks hott- I have a photo or two of my S Type up here. It's a Topaz 03 S Type with 20% tint and a Prowler Mesh Grill upgrade. Look for me in the area over any school breaks and you'll usually find me at Pegasus Landing guest parking lot.

I saw your pics earlier in the thread. Nice car. I just had mine up at All Jaguar in Longwood for brakes. Got some news I didn't want. I'm looking at Pinion Seal, Tranny Connector Orings, Engine Mounts, AC pressure switch. All in all under 2 grand on some long needed upkeep. 120k miles will do that. Not a bad price for driving such a beast.

Hope to run into ya sometime.

Damn I'm sorry to hear that! But you're right, that's part of what comes along with the mileage. Ideally I'd like to keep the mileage below 120-150 K region before I graduate (2011). But at the rate I get on the highway, I don't see that happening unless I garage the S Type and drive my Lexus SC practically exclusively. Which isn't so bad either since I just had it releathered, and it's going to get repainted soon.

But the S Type has that creature comfort compared to the sports car. I wish I could have blended the two feels, and got an S Type R, but I didn't.

Welcome,

I love XK8's. I thought about one for graduation. But I'm selling out to go back to jump on the chance for the new GTR.

I believe Clermont is in the Central FL region. I haven't been there but it sounds familiar.

Clermont is pretty much far West Orlando. Nice area, used to ride bike (motor) out there because there were actually a few hills and some nice turns...and less populated as well.
