Default Christmas tree in an XK8?

Why you may ask?





Well the reason is this broken steelwork here.





Which happens to be holding up this bridge.





Which is part of the main arterial route into Edinburgh and has now been shut for two weeks since they found the fracture.


The alternative route is a 2 hour detour due to the resultant traffic jams.


So instead of 4 hours in a traffic jams each day I have left our larger car on the other side of the adjacent rail bridge for our daily commute. Two weeks in and two weeks to go.

Greetings from Florida!
I use mine every year to bring home the tree. Make sure to put a bag or such on trunk of tree to keep tree sap off leather. It also has carried a new TV, rugs, chairs and large breasted woman!
Merry Christmas!!

I would say the back seat is useless, except where there is a will, there is a way. Our daughter was conceived in an Opel GT, during a rather long movie, at a drive-in theater........Be cool.....Mike

Yep been there done that just a week ago with my XKR. 5 - 8' cedar deck boards, and a hand saw to cut down to more manageable lengths. Got my picture taken twice that day in the parking lot.
