Default HD Video of a XK8 Coupe

I got a XK8 Coupe for an early Christmas gift from my wife and now have to wait until the snow melts to drive it.

I found a video of a XK8 coupe in action! Love the way they look...mine is black on black Can't wait to drive it next year...Happy New Year!!

God, I can't wait to get one of these. I normally dislike blue cars, but that one is beautiful.

If anyone else has some good video I'd love to see it.

Dear Notopm3,
I can see you're smitten, I better get down to San Diego early in the new year, so that you can see what you're really missing.
Happy New Year
Ted

It's killing me. I found a very nice, low mileage 2000 in Carnival Red, one owner in the OC area. The problem is that I still don't have a job locked on. I just retired from the Marines and I'm burning the last month of my terminal leave days. All this fiscal cliff stuff has put a hold on military contractors, which is what I am trying to do. Once I get the job locked on I'm selling the M3 and getting my Jag.

How could you resist a Carnival Red one? I couldn't, and I ended up with one. Obviously, it's the best color.

Well, my wife said I am not allowed to get a car until I get a job.

Hi Bob and a Happy New Year to you !

I'm proud to say that's a video of my car !
Taken by the camera crew of "Wheeler Dealers" on Longcross circuit , Surrey UK , it's track previously used by " Top Gear" , thanks for admiring the colour notopm3 , it's the 1996 launch colour " Antigua Blue"

Here's a few more of her on location and one taken of her rear end outside my workshop










Very best wishes for the New Year

Am I the only one who thinks it is awesome that his WIFE bought him a Jag Coupe?

If she ever leaves you give here my number please.

Good luck with the new toy.
