Default Saying Hi

I'm from Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK and have a 2000 XK8 and a 2006 Saab Aero. I've a vague idea of my way around a car but wouldn't claim to be a master mechanic.

I've done a few track days & a kart racing series.
If anyone is interested enough to ask anything further then I'll be happy to reply.

RH

Too bad about Saab. Any company that goes under because they refused to compromise on the integrity of their vehicle is pretty good in my book.

Welcome! Don't ever feel shy about posting pics of your XK8! This is your place to brag!

How does you car do on the track? I was thinking of tracking mine this summer with a driving instructor.

Welcome to the forum RH,

Sooner or later with an XK8, you'll be forced to get used to finding your way around it!

Follow Dani's link to the XK8/XKR tech section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info in regular issues.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Welcome to the forum! Vague ideas are always better than none, especially if modesty is involved.
