I've been reading various XK8 posts on this website for about 1 1/2 years, now. In fact, this has been such a part of my routine that I neglected the first rule - I apparently forgot to post the initial information about me and my 2006 Jaguar XK8 convertible. I'm a retired Delphi engineer in Dayton, Ohio. The car is Topaz blue with a dark blue convertible top, and now with 80,000 miles on it. It just passed this 80,000 mile with a dealer checkup with flying colors. I bought the car about the time I started reading the website, and the website helped me determine what to look for in a used model. My only issue was the need to replace the spark plugs and coil packs several months after I bought the car. It runs fantastic, and I couldn't be happier with the mechanical performance. My only issue is with a cosmetic blemish on the convertible top, apparently unwittingly done by the previous owner. That is the subject of my first post.
