My new XK 5.0

Just got this beauty 2010 5.0 XK Portfolio 10,000 Miles, Caviar with white trim. Sold my 2007 GT500 Mustang and traded 2003 XJ8 4.2, and I am loving this car, more than happy with the N/A performance, after frightening myself with the awesome performance of the GT500 which after 3 years of ownership made me feel I was running out of talent with that live axle!

Congratulations!

Love that Caviar color, and I have always liked Kalimnos wheels.

Greetings from across the pond. Hope you enjoy your NA 5.0L as much as I do mine. I sold a 1999 Jag XK8 to get my 2010 XK coupe. I know how you feel about live axles. Haven't had a car with one in years. Nice color combination!

+1 on the color! I haven't seen an XK that color. What color is the interior? Please post some pix.

Too bad about the mandatory UK front license plate - it ruins a pretty face! Maybe the Queen will take notice of the rebels here in Georgia USA, where no front license plates are required.
