Default Greeting from Italy new mwmber !

Hello forum members,

as you all know the Great Enzo Ferrari himself described the E-type as the most beautiful car in the world, by the way he lived in Modena Italy.

So I thought it was most appropriate to collect, last year on Nov. 20th, my "new" 2009 XK 3.5L convertible in a main car dealer in Modena, the hometown of Enzo Ferrari !

What a way to start my hopefully very enjoyable XK ownership !

So far the car has been marvelous, it has a white body and Caramel interiors, 19" wheels, and boy that rorty V8 sound.....

My daily car is a 2012 MB CLS 250 CDI, another car with a wonderful shape and stance...and a subtly rattling diesel engine..

Funny thing the max speed and 0-60 time are very close , but one car's mpg are double the other car's..no prizes for guessing which it is !

Take care and happy motoring !

Roberto

Welcome to the forums Roberto,

Easier to find a Jaguar in Italy than a Ferrari. Ten years since I last drove to your country but I never saw a single Ferrari between the Swiss border and Amalfi!

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/ to the X150 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
