...well, almost.

Hi everyone, a quick hello... with the aggressive pricing on recent lease return vehicles, I believe I am very close to picking up a 2007 XK Convertible in Slate Gray (I think that's what it's called). The car is pretty well equipped as is, but it's quite possible I'll be doing little tweaks here and there.

Been lurking at these forums for a little while and doing what research I could to be sure that the XK would be the right car for me - but if I'm honest, it's not much of a logical decision, is it... as Top Gear once said - "You see it... You want it."

Seems like there are some friendly people and some good information here. Looking forward to meeting and getting together with other SoCal members and contributing what I can.

This car replaces a 2008 Audi A5.

 

Welcome to the forums
Your Audi also looked sharp but sharpness is taken one step further by XK
You can also check out Regional Forums for interaction

 

welcome aboard Shady....you got my initials with shady in front of it Whats that all about??
Nice A5...looks like you love your ride ( nice n clean lookin example )....I have the A6 myself
Hope you get the car you want and continue to enjoy the forums

 

Well, so much for the "almost" owner. Dealer called me mid-day and said "it's ready, come and get it!".

So I got it.

Will take some pictures tomorrow. *Very* happy.

 

Sounds like we share the same initials Jim.

 

Ta-da! One day of ownership, so far so good.

 

Waheyyy....nice one Shady
Kinda weird though how you got a grreat lookin car and only one pic??
Thought you mighta started a pic fest somewhere in the sights n sounds section or XK...

 

Welcome to the forum Shady,must say your choice in cars are A1,both stunning examples.
Hope you enjoy it m8

 

Howdy Shady

Now you can charge people to ride in that! Wow. Welcome to the forum!

 

Wow, very nice choice shady! Don't know about the rear seat capacity over the A5, but you'll sure be getting more fresh air in the XK! Consider it - a healthier choice.

Hope to see you around the forums when you're not driving her around!

 

Very nice and congrats! Whereabouts in SoCal are you located? I am in the San Fernando Valley--don't see all that many XK8/XKR but am seeing more and more of the newer series.

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

SeismicGuy, I live in Azusa and work in Universal City.... head up into your neck of the woods on a pretty regular basis - have some friends in Woodland Hills and Oxnard, and take my son R/C racing over in Camarillo about once a month or so.
