Default Hi New Member

Hi there new to the forum and wanted to firstly say hi but to also ask for advice...

I am trawling the various websites looking for an XK which is leaving me in a quandary.

I have my eye on a 2003 XKR cabriolet which is stunning and in great condition.

I have one question is the spin when you put your foot down bad. I already have a new XJ R Sport and experienced it once coming off a roundabout but hit the pedal a bit too quick. Dont want to buy and end up on a ditch.

One other question is I see a couple of XK8S coupe on line and they again are stunning and seemed to be a limited edition are they vastly different to the XKR.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hello, Sulley,
The trick to keeping Any car from spinning when "you put your foot down bad" is, in a word, *Control.*
One usually gains a measure of this with practice, and each individual car is different.
