Hello All;


I've been a lurking reader for some time. However I'm now active as a member. Why now? Well the sickness has struck again; thus my name. Yes I'm sick; and not because I'm a pervert. Well anyway.......


Yep, I've decided to buy another car. I have suffered from this sickness all my life. Maybe since age 14 anyway. Now at 69 I'm no better. I've been reading here again, did a lot 6 years ago before buying the XJR; and appreciate the wealth of info you guys share.


I need help! Yeah I know, see a doctor. I started with the goal of an '05/6 XKR because I love the lines. IMHO prettier than the X150. However I've been seduced by the idea of 510 hp. Who doesn't want 510hp? I do!


I've learned about the primary issues with these cars, but have some specific questions. I'm not a mechanic, so issues will need to be addressed by a dealer/ indie mechanic. Experience has shown that knowledge of an issue before going to the shop usually saves money by cutting thru the BS. So I'm hoping you folks can give me some guidance. I will post specific questions individually to keep it focused.


Thanks in advance.


Rob

Thanks for the note. You are right, and the hunt has started. Trying to find a nice car that isn't black seems to be a challenge though.

Welcome.

I reckon you are just fine and healthy.

I had 8 V12's at one stage, and that is deemed an illness????

Get one of each, problem solved.

I feel better knowing you are here. I guess I should mention my '59 XK150 purchased in '66.

 

Thanks Norrie, but I'm probably beyond help.
