Default New 1998 XK8 member NY

Hi all,
Just wanted to say hello.

I just picked up an incredibly beautiful 1998 XK8 in magnificent condition with 40k miles.
All service done, including tensioners and any other "typical issues".

I'll be hanging around here, as I get acquainted with some of the finer features of this instant classic.

So my 17 year old daughter sees the car today...

Dads don't drive white convertibles.
