Hello
Hello
Hello, my name is Mike and I am a Jaguar owner!
I am an early retired agrochemical advisor, I live in a small Nottinghanshire village, spend a fair part of the summer at a very modest holiday home on the Argyll coast. In the winter I travel to somewhere warm with good game fishing for a few weeks and somewhere cold for a couple of weeks snowmobile touring.
Three years ago I decided that I needed a new toy, so I bought a one owner 2002 XK8 convertible in silver. It has the 4.2 engine with the 6 speed auto box. Despite having only covered 40k miles I had quite a few niggles with it. After a dissapointing start, I have now found a good independant specialist who seems to have sorted most of the niggles.
