Hi, my names Stuart and i live in Central England where it's very windy at the moment!
I bought a 2005 xkr convertible a couple of months ago which , I've got to say, I'm very pleased with.
Unfortunately so is my Wife- she thinks it's "our" car

 

Hi Stuart welcome to the forum. Great looking XK you have there.

MMCFC : Melton Mowbray County Football Club???

 

I suspect you know exactly what mcfc stands for !!!
years ago I had to select a user name for ebay and it suggested a combination of my name and the hobbies I had (m is my middle initial- Mark).
Since then I've used it on several forums for ease!

incidentally, for those who don't know, MCFC are the initials of a football team who (for this week at least!) are right at the top of the English Premiership and also why I chose a car which was blue(ish) rather than red!

I've been lucky enough too have had several interesting cars. To fund this purchase I sold my Audi ur-quattro and a Lancia Integrale Evo 2 and although they were exciting cars to drive, I feel right at home with the style and power of the xkr :-)
At the moment the only "mod" I'm looking at is to connect my ipod to my standard radio set up. loads of info on here to help I see!

 

Welcome Stuart!

Lovely colour that blue, cracking wheels too, watch out when you parallel park though. I am from Fairford Glos originally but have lived in the USA for nearly 25 years. I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I also just (last friday) got my XKR, 2006 Ebony on Charcoal with 20 inch Sepangs, its a conv. This is a really great site, tons of really good info and helpful enthusiasts. Congrats on your purchase!

Thanks Jim,
There is 1 question,, and it genuinely occurred to me the other day when I was reading one of your posts.I thought of asking my Wife-but quickly thought better of it!
Seriously, in the 4th picture at the top of your posts, what does the last word on the T-shirt, the young lady is wearing, say???!!!!!

 

Heh heh, we have studied this closely.. ROOM

mmcfc, yes I know, but at that time of the day I was dreaming about Pork Pies which I can't get here. It's a food thing.

Used to go to City, back in the 70's, living in R'Dale.

 

Welcome to the forum Stuart,

Not much more to say, I do like the colour of your car though.

 

Welcome from another UK member.

 

Hello Stuart welcome to the forums. She is a beaut!!!! Maybe you should think of getting the wifey a matching vehicle, kinda his and hers type of thingy .

Enjoy all the site has to offer!

 

funny you should say that.
Yesterday a parcel arrived- it was a r/c xkr I'd bought of ebay.
I gave it to the Wife and told her that when she could drive that with out damaging it then she could have a go with the real thing.
She really didn't see the joke

 

Lol Stuart......lovin your sense of humour mate, sounds soo like the kinda thing I'd do

And as Translator has already said, the last word on the T shirt is ROOM....
