Vince/Growler: Remember when I said last weekend that I'd upgrade to an XKR soon? :)
Well, I did. 
Just got it, so no real pics yet, but a quick phone shot. Crazy enough, it's virtually the same car I drove during our trip, only now with the "R", about 13k miles less, and now also with advanced tech package. Same color (though it seems a bit darker), same year, same interior. The only thing I don't have anymore, is the heated/wooden steering wheel (but I can live with that). Was a freak, spur of the moment, kind of thing. Can only hope I won't get punished for that, though I did get an extended warranty too.
Your turn Vince!

Lol, just popped autotrader open.... Nothing within 1000 miles of me, and even then, nothing I could afford right now....
Another 2 years before my next upgrade.... Sigh......
(Ya know yer gonna have to let me drive it now....right?

Sure was sudden, and I freaked out myself a bit. But it was a good deal, and I got a fair price for my XK.
I got a good warranty, I know I keep this baby for a while. It has tinted windows, which I don't like, so that will go. I also have to get used to the wheels. Much more shiny that my Carelias, I will see how I feel about them in a bit.
The driving is a huge difference...and the rest is almost the same.
Of course I let you drive it for a bit.

I do have a set of flat black 20" TSW Donningtons for sale remember.
Same as on my XKR if you are interested. 9" fronts 10" rears.
Screaming deal!

LOL, signature updated! I took out the wheels, because I had no idea what the new ones are, Sentas?
They look like Sentas that have been chromed. I like them.
2007-2010 Jaguar XK / XKR "Senta" Double 5 Spoke chrome plated wheel. Hollander number: 59817 front and 59818 rear
If you decide to switch them out give me a heads up.
