Default Good Morning

Hey. My name is Mark. I just bought my wife a 1998 XK8. First Jaguar for either of us. She was looking at a new Ford Focus, but like a good husband, I told her the Jag would be a much better choice! I've been a fan of Jaguars all my life. It was the first car I rode in that went over 100mph! That was back in the 1950's and I can't even remember what model it was. I was around 8 years old, and the car belonged to a family friend. My next encounter was when my older brother brought home an XKE for a test drive. I've been smitten ever since. Looking forward to getting to know this car.

You'll certainly get to know your (wife's) car in here.
