Traded F35063 yesterday for 2013 Range Rover Sport HSE. New ride has only 22000 miles a year of new car warranty. Smells new too. Green cat is available at Virginia Beach Maserati for about 3000. Everything works like new except the reach motor on the steering wheel.

I would like to thank the forum for saving me loads of money, teaching mechanics, and supporting an expensive hobby. Arthritis has gotten sufficiently bad that I needed a car I can roll out of or into. Still, I miss the old girl.

Jim sorry to hear of the sale of the old girl. No reason you can't lurk around and share a little experience every now and then. Good luck and happy motoring.

Please come back to help, Jim. But the price for your XK8 is disgusting. I would like to sell mine as I only have room for two cars, but I can't see giving it away.

As with the others, Thank You for all your knowledge you freely shared on the forum, and it is truly criminal what these cars are worth now.


Hopefully, you will still pop in from time to time, and bless us with your wisdom.

Jim,

Dittos on all the gratitude for your kind assistance and contributions to the forum. Enjoy the Range Rover until you have to make your first significant parts purchase, then trade it in for another Jaguar. We'll gladly welcome you back! :-)

Cheers,

Don
