Dear All,
I'm a 49 year old male who migrated to Far North Queensland, Australia, fifteen years ago from the UK. A qualified Aircraft Engineer of 35 years experience, who has recently purchased myself a 1997 XK8 Coupe, in Aquamarine with a Teal interior. This car was purchased from a friend (ex UK) who imported this into Australia from the UK last March 2015.
The car is immaculate, but as always with older cars there are things which need attention, most of which are minor or improvements.
This is my first Jaguar and I believe to enjoy these older cars and to avoid serious frustrations (not to mention costs) you need to be able to tackle some of the minor items, if not the more complex ones too. I recently installed the JTIS program, which is an excellent aid that has helped me immensely already
Anyhow, I hope to work with you all to contribute and learn more about my car

Regards

XKJoe
