Hello Gents from Ontario, Canada

After an exhaustive search I've just purchased a Zircon blue on cashmere 2003 Jaguar XK8 from the original owner having detailed maintenance and repair data from just outside of Phoenix, Arizona.... I am in the process now of arranging closed transport back to Niagara Falls, New York where I will need to go through mountainous amounts of bureaucratic paperwork along with multiple, outrageous taxes and duties to import it into Canada.... Over and above that which is the real $$ kicker was this week's Canadian dollar to US dollar conversion rate having me sad faced doling out an extra 37.8% !! just to buy the US currency for the purchase.... now that I got all that initial money babbling & whining stuff out of the way.... I can't wait guys to finally get the XK8 in my possession next week to introduce myself and begin the loving, cherishing and oh yeah the sumptuous driving part.... Here's to my new meaningful man / auto relationship !! .... and yes I have been very happily married for a number of years... always with way too many cars for any rational person......
