Thumbs up New member from Utah 2001 XK8

Hello All,
I've finally scratched the itch and picked up a 2001 XK8, triple black, 71k miles. Took her out for a run at the weekend and had a blast - but I may need to buy some driving gloves at it was just above freezing here in Utah, so a bit chilly on the hands!
I have owned Land Rovers for years but always had thoughts of a Jag for weekend fun and grand touring.
Glad to be a member of the forum, I'm sure I'll have a few questions as I get used to her!

Cheers Norri. A fellow Scot judging by the flag? I'm in Utah but also have a place in AA just north of Tucson - looking forward to stretching the old girls legs running down there

All this talk of places with sunshine and blue skies really winds me up.

Sorry! But it's not always blue skies here - 18 inches of snow in the last 48 hours and -22c on the way to work this morning.

Yes indeed! You should come out to British Motor Club of Utah runs, always good to get more Jags along
