Default Hey folks! 2002 Jaguar XK8 new owner here

Hi- Just a day into getting my 2002 Jaguar XK8. Only 30,819mi on it, in great shape, new tires, garage kept and all. Seems to run and function fine, but it takes a while to get used to all of the controls. Great handling and very smooth, quite different from the 2007 Mustang GT convertible I sold when this Jag became available. Thanks in advance for any help or info, and apologies in advance for decorum violations; I'll do my best. :-)

Havent figured out how to attach a photo, but I'll try a bit more.

Thanks,

karl

Your photo attached just fine, Karl. Pretty car!
You'll figure out the controls soon, they're different because they're British. Things are a little different across the Pond. LOL

Thank you for the kind welcome! Let's see if my signature line shows up. I have gone through the steps, but it doesn't alter my original post...
