My '07 XKR Coupe Before


And After
3M Wrap. I have since sold her and no longer have a Jaguar in the stable. I am considering an F-Type R, or perhaps finding a another nice used XKR in the future.

I'm enjoying it a lot! The sound (aftermarket Novitec exhaust) is glorious! Much better than the XKR. However, I really do miss the XKR as a daily driver. The Ferrari does not lend itself well for that. I have test driven one F-Type and it's exhaust note is awesome and definitely a selling point for me. That, and being able to drive it every day.

I remember a person in New York City who used a 365GTB/4 as a 'daily driver' and had to change the spark plugs every few months due to fouling.

It proved to be a very entertaining car to drive on snowy roads...

Smile Outside storage for the Winter

My XK has been away since December 18th, the first snow fall. I do take the cover off and run the car, around the block, a distance of about 20miles, once the snow melts. This coming week it promises to be a bit warmer, and I shall get it started for another Winter run. So far not a problem, it starts every time, hasn't needed a jump start, or a battery maintainer even when the weather is below 10f.

Be careful about leaving them together unattended like that, that is how little F-types come to be.

Man, I don't know about that suspension hanging like that for months-on-end... Great for the tires, not-so-great for everything else.

I would agree 100%. There is simply no reason to store a car with the wheels off the ground. The suspension is just not made to support the wheels in this position for a length of time. Please put it down on the ground where it belongs.

LOL, everyone is jumping to conclusions here. First off the pic was taking the day I lifted it up on the quickjack, and the wheels came off immediately. Those are actually my rear wheels with 1 1/2" spacers on it just to see the wheels stick out, was just for fun. Secondly if I was to store it with the wheels on, which im not, it wouldnt do any damage, at least not sitting there for just a few months. There isnt much pressure on the suspension, at least not enough to do any damage to ball joints, arms or anything.

The entire suspension is being removed and replaced, upper and lower arems, tie rods, rotors and breaks... everything.. This quickjack setup is to work on my car all winter, thats what its designed for so the car itself is staying up in the air until its complete.
