Hi all,

Well I currently own a 2001 Daimler XJ8 (X308 UK spec) and this is parked up at home with my dad giving it the TLC it needs. I currently live and work in the UAE and seriously considering purchasing a 2005 super v8. Apart from the obvious changes to the x350 it appears the same beast and with the supercharger very tempting. We shall see......

Have fun.

Hi Scotty,
You obviously have grand adventures in mind, hope you share some of them!
And some pics as well?
Good Luck with your travels and hope to hear some V8 stories as well and keep us posted on the Daimler XJ8 as well, you have good taste!

Update, well what an update, things did not work out well with the 2005 super V8, just never got the chance to meet up with the seller. .... .. though not all is lost.. low and behold what popped up in my neighbourhood... a 2009 XJ Portfolio in celestial Black.... 100K KM... and at a fair price..... will keep you posted.

 

You lose some, you win some. It sounds a better one to go for.

Graham

 

keep us updated.....good luck

 

Well its official, I am now the proud owner of a 2009 XJ Portfolio..... Once I get a chance I will get some pics taken and post them..... wooohooooo....

 

Congratulations - presumably it's the Celestial Black one?

Pleased to see you've wasted no time getting the details into your Signature - next challenge is a SigPic!

Graham

 

Yip...its the celestial black....

Strangely enough the pic of the Daimler is in the signature but not appearing when posting, I suspect maybe its to big?

I think I have sorted it now..... missed the last stage...

 

That's it. The filesize limits on SigPics are very tight.
