Default Second try

Hi all, I tried to post here last week, but it was during the cyberwar going on with this site. I purchased a used XK8 last year in Toronto and this is also my second XK. About 30 years ago I bought a '59 XK150 and had a lot of fun restoring it. After 9 years, I sold it when kids and family took up more time.

Welcome to the site. There are lots of people here that are more than willing to help you out. So, keep the messages coming and hopefully you will learn a thing or two about your car. The new cars are drastically different than the 59. Granted, give me the 59 any day, it would be a fun toy car to have now.

Welcome Alfred! We like restoration junkies around here, you'll find yourself being very popular if your willing to share tips and procedures with the brain trust that is 'the jag forums'. Ok, so we haven't qualified as a brain trust yet...but we're working on it.

Hi Alfred, welcome and thanks for persevering, your efforts will be rewarded.

(quote "you'll find yourself being very popular if your willing to share tips and procedures with the brain trust that is 'the jag forums'. Ok, so we haven't qualified as a brain trust yet...but we're working on it")

H20, thought it was more of a "brian" trust myself, as in 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'

I'll keep working on it.

Enjoy your stay Alfred.
