I have always been a classic car guy. Ive owned hotrods and a classic Vette and just fell in love with look of the xk coupe. I am certain this will be a classic and believe it to be the best looking car of its generation. I bought a 2006 xk8 coupe thinking it would be the most reliable since it was last year before the model change. I was interested to find out if there are any more classic car guys out there that have fallen for the xk?

 

Welcome to the forum Waterloo,

I think you have chosen a potential classic.

 

Hello, it will be a nice car for sure , we have many friendly members as well

 

I also have been more of a classic car guy. Had a 71 Chrysler 300 that was a true cruiser.

I've also just recently fell in love with the modern technology and styling of the XKR. Found a 2001 XKR Silverstone edition that is in terrific condition.

This forum is an inceredible source of information.

I bought a 2006 XK8 Victory Edition convertible a week ago. I agree with everything you said. Best looking car of its generation. I was also attracted to the 2006 since it is the last and most hightly developed of this series. I just hope all the wiz bang systems keep working. Never had a car with all this before. I have a few friends who own XK8s. They all have very good things to say about them.

Welcome to the forum Waterloo.

 

Thanks for all the replys, This forum is an incredible resource! I have been going through some of the older threads and have learned a lot about these cars already. So far the car is running perfectly, but ya BlkCat i share your concerns, the limitless electronics on this thing is intimidating to be sure. Never really got into anything newer than 1973, so a lot of this will be new to me. I Was actually looking for a sixties convertible and then decided to veer way off course and buy this car which i have been eying since they came out years ago. So far i am really glad i bought it and knowing forums like this existed is what gave me the confidence to do so. Anyways glad to be here and hope to contribute in the future.

 

And a welcome from me, bit of a jump in the space time continuum you have made there.

Still loads of great help in the XK sections.
