Default hello from N FL

Have had a wonderful XJ8 for a couple years and about 15k trouble free miles- wife wanted to get an older convertable SL for a summer - then saw an XK8 we drove a 99 and a 00 and was quite impressed- then drove an 03 XKR.....oh boy...7k became 30...but the sound of the blower is worth every penny

should have the 04 xkr next week- hope it will be half as good as the XJ has been

sold slightly modded very fast 05 GTO for this

some past cars TR4 TR6 450 SE 280 SEL 4.5 280 SE (c) 450 SLC 420 SEL 450 SEL 560 SEC 560 SEL 89 RRC Camel Trphy clone 97 Def 90 NAS plus a mercury marauder and a bunch of town cars to drive when others are broken

great forum- will get the top lines checked immediately

Bill

Welcome to the forum.

Apart from those two Triumphs, you seem to be a Mercedes aficionado.

Welcome to the forum,

The Trumpets may have been the reason for the switch to Merc!

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
