Addicted to ragtops
Hi. I've owned this beauty eight years and can't let go so I've got to learn how to take care of her myself as her mechanic is retiring this year.
My first drop top was a '69 MGB, the next was a '65 Mustang GT, followed by an '89 Alfa Spider Quadrifoglio and THEN came an '02 XKR. Had a couple dozen other sedans, coupes, wagons and vans of various manufacturers along the way.
I should have started with Jaguars. The XKR self-immolated in a spectacular fashion with a leaky heater hose. I replaced it with this '05 XK8 which is pretty, comfy and sporty enough but I haven't gotten any tickets in it. I've had it longer than anything else and I'd like to keep it a long, long time.
