Default Greetings - from Sirmicroby near Montreal Canada eh!

Good day to all,
I'm the proud owner of a Silver 2000 XKR - I affectionately call her "Precious".

I just recently participated in two car shows and won 1st place as Best Euro in both competitions.. Yes, I did a few modifications as you can see...

I've browsed through the forum pages of this site and found answer to many of my questions... I'm eager to find out more and share some of my findings.

I'm honored to become a member of this community and I look forward to my discussions with you.

Richard

Welcome to the forum Richard,

Precious looks great. Is that Arden upgrades?

Sounds like you've already found your way around here so no need for me to give you the link to the XK8/XKR section. That is the place to post questions or your own input.

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

Enjoy the forum.

Bienvenue sur le forum Richard:-)



Very nice XKR, I really like the body kit on it. Is that the Arden? I was looking at it but find it a bit expensive though.....

Hi Richard and welcome to the site- you'll find lots of Canadians here. We're 'almost' ex-Montrealers ourselves, in transit to our new home in Perth. That's a gorgeous car you've got. Where were the shows you mentioned?

The kit is arden and although you expect it to fit perfectly, there is some
fitting to do... Plus We sharved and moulded to the body so there is no seam.

Richard

Hi Mikey...
So you're still near me

The "Ram Show is in St-Jean" and the other was in Sherbrooke
"Precious" also won Best Curo at the CarBowl... Third win in 3 shows - its fun

Thanks for your comments on the car.

Happy moving !
