Default I'm new!

Hi all! I've never owned a high performance sports car in my life. I did however own a Harley Davidson for several years and decided to sell it because where I live you can only drive mostly in the summertime. Anyway, I started looking for a car to replace my bike and it had to meet the same "fun factor" criteria. That's when I stumbled across a 1998 Jaguar XK8. It's white with a tan convertible top. The car had only 61,000 miles on it. I fell in love instantly. Then I drove the car and found out that it handled better than it looked! This car will do anything I ask of it and never complains. It also fits any venue I can throw at it and does so with style and class. Sorry Harley fans...

Welcome to the xk8 crowd Greg! Lots of good information on the forums, and if you get bored, read till you're eyes bleed (ok, not that much) and you'll be well informed before anything ever goes wrong with the car. She's over 11 years old, so she's bound to need some TLC from time to time.
