Default Just took delivery on a 2001 XJ8 Executive

Wow, this is a really nice car. It doesn't have quite as many gadgets as some newer models, and the phone doesn't work, but man is it easy to drive.

There are a few minor issues: steering wheel doesn't telescope, someone used a touch-up pen on a ding on the left rear door *passenger side since it's a RHD model, last owner was a smoker and there's a cigarette burn in the carpet .. but that just gives me an excuse to go out an work on it. ;D

Anyway, just dropped in to say hello. Hope I can be a contributing member eventually.

Welcome Amejin, you have found the right place for some great help, should you need it.

Are you in the UK by any chance?

All the best,

All the best,
No, in fact I'm in Japan. Quite hard to find non-smoker cars here.

Check out the regional section amejin....I believe there are a few members there. If you look for "other areas" and you'll see a thread marked Japan.

Good luck
