Default Hello from Germany

Hi colleagues,
after two years without a Jag (my last model was a XJ8 X 308), I have picked up my XK Coupe 3.5 from a local Jag-Dealer today. The car is supposed to be used as my daily driver until I will buy a F-Type Coupe (with the expected manual gear box) in about two years. Hope to be able - at least from time to time - to contribute to the community!

Welcome back to the Cat Society, Bernd - why am I not seeing the pictures the others are talking about?

In the german Jaguar forum the picture is also deleted.

I think because of the bad perspective/angle of the pic.

Hi friends, I intend to make new photos - the last (and so far only one) was in fact not very good.


This is from the dealer, but also includes a mistake (my car is of course a LHD). Up to now I have added an original silver-black growler to the Arden mesh grill. The picture shows the car with the factory 18" and winter tires. And yes, the car is lowered (25mm) with Arden springs.

Yes, they've reversed the image - how strange!

Anyway, nice-looking car - and you're in the right country to enjoy it. One of the few places in the world where having a car that can do 250 km/h or more is not just a status symbol.

Have fun...

Now, this is my Winter-XK - already with salt and dirt from the first snow here in Cologne.





And I have discovered the first negative point: some water in the trunk after heavy rain. (Hopefully) the dealer will take care of this. Beside this, driving ist still a pleasure.
