Default Greetings from NewJersey

I've owned my 2001 red XK8 convertible since a couple days after my divorce in the summer of 2005. I absolutely love it. I try to explain to people that this is the most trouble free, inexpensive to operate car I've ever owned, and it's the best looking creature on 4 wheels.

Welcome,

You are truly blessed. Most guys lose an XK8 in the divorce.

Hope it continues to be trouble free and inexpensive.

Graham

The car was a gift to myself after the divorce. I realized that there's only one person that I can always count on to be nice to me.
Funny thing is, I picked up a brochure at the local Jaguar dealer when I moved to NJ in late 2000. I was married and had no idea what was to come. Years later I bought this car and when I looked at the brochure, I realized that it was for my car. I guess some things are just meant to be.
I'll get some pictures up soon.
I hope to give what I can here and get what I need.

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
It must have been destined.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

I'm just off of 55 outside of Millville, NJ. I joined after I bought mine, but had been reading up on it for a few days before.
