Default Difficult Forum

I joined this forum back in 2014 when I had my 2001 Jaguar XK8. This forum was difficult to navigate then...thought it would be better in 2025...but no.

Same forum same difficulty!

Crazy!!

Paramedics had to pull me out through the windshield during this crash. I was very lucky however those derelicts that towed the car away stole my Ray-Ban glasses and a couple other things from my car.

I never forgot about my dream car...Jaguar CK8!

when we moved 9 years ago to an exclusive gated neighborhood, my wife was invited to a neighbor's house.

She note a black XK8 in the garage and commented that her husband would love it.

The neighbor said "do you wsnt it"...my wife said "yes".

Long story short, we bought the 1999 Jaguar XK8.

I guess the navigational difficulty is offset by the willingness of the community to welcome and impart knowledge to all those that cross the threshold.
Welcome back Brian.

I agree with Mark.

It has its moments, what does not, and for ME, AKA The Fossil (75 going on 90), I slow down, think of what I want to seek out, and go to that Model Section. There are some "cross overs" of Info, Series Cars that are V12 powered, find most of what they want in the XJS Section (the King of the V12 Jaguars), and it seems to work well. There are other model cross overs, but I think you get the drift.

Its ALL volunteers, and I reckon that is an awesome thing in this crazy world.

Good luck.
