I just purchased a 2004 XK8 in BRG/tan with only 16k miles. I've been searching for one awhile. Living in Myrtle Beach, SC its the perfect car. I bought it from a retired Air Force Colonel who had flown Spitfires in WW2. He was shot down on his 50th mission over N Vietnam and spent 8 yrs as a POW. Not only did I get a great car but a lot of history to go with it.

Welcome Marco, sounds like you not only got a great car, but spent a very enjoyable time with the previous owner.

Welcome Marco. You live in what is now our second most favorite place in NA. Home is first. We make an annual trek to NMB just about every spring now to partake in a bit of golf, great scenery and of course, wonderful southern hospitality. I'll keep an eye out for you...

We live on the South end. I work on 44th Ave N. This is the second time we lived here. After an 8 yr transfer to Raleigh, NC and 4 yrs in Boston we are finally back home again. If you need a list of great restaurants let me know. I've been going to the really good ones for over 20yrs. Nothing like local knowledge. Sept - Nov is the best time. Perfect timing for the Jag.

Finally went to Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse last time. What a hoot! A few CAIPIRINHA's later and we had to cab it all the way back and get the car the next day.
