Talking Aloha From Hawaii-New XK8 Owner



Greetings from the Aloha State! Proud owner of a 1997 XK8 with about 34,000 miles. Purchased about 3 months ago, did a re-spray (Porsche Sapphire Metallic Blue) on the paint and added some new rims and tires. Gotta love a convertible in Hawaii!

Welcome to the forum Chip Abbadessa,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. The car looks familiar ..........?

I know you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the USA Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome.

Anything in Hawaii is a good thing. Be there in August, time does move slowly at these times.

NICE colour choice, well done.
