Talking I'm Back!

Good evening all my fellow Jag peeps! I've been away for a few months and much has occured! Those of you who know me, know that I am the proud owner of an '87 XJ6, silver, red interior, chevy 305 conversion. WELL, I've given that beauty to my daughter, because last Monday I bought myself a 1999 XK8 for $9000, with only, get this, 95,000 miles! It looks and drives like brand new! I love it, and as I explore this one as I did the 87, I'll be letting everyone know what I discover and of course posting pictures!!!!

Thank you Sklimii, it's in fantastic shape. The engine is almost dead silent, and although I've been driving it for a week I cannot feel the transmission shift. The road noise is at a minimum, and passing cars are almost inaudible. All with the stereo off. The electrics are flawless and the roof opens and closes fine. There is one odd quirk though, sometimes the filler tube needs to have the key in the ignition to operate. Other than that, there's no problems, no leaks, no heating issues, no over heating issues, no air conditioning issues and it's AWESOME!!!!
