I'm picking up my first Jaguar today, a 2001 XK8. One of the reasons I'm taking the plunge is because of the good advice on the XK8 & XKR forum. Thanks for all the useful information already posted. I'll be getting some of the most critical fixes done right away.

Here's the car:

Nice looking machine, man. I really like your wheels. Good to have another Northwestern XK8er on the forum! If you've hung around here much, you already know what a friendly and knowledeable place it is.

All the best and enjoy the ride!

 

Nice looking XK and one of the few coupes, they made many more roadsters than they did coupes.

I couldn't tell from your pictures where you are located, are you actually in Seattle, or one of the burbs?

 

+1 on the welcomes by XK8 and Midlife, great to have you as part of the forum
The XK section rocks, some top top guys there to help you out!

Great place here with some top techs, great members, plenty of info and some good craic too!

Thank you everybody, I appreciate the friendly tone - and already have some thoughtful, useful answers to my first questions. Gosh!

I'm in Seattle itself, but took the car out to Marymoor Park to get a couple of new photos in the recent sun: 2001 Jaguar XK8 - a set on Flickr
