i not only had no interest in a British car, but this one in particular never caught my attention....then my cousin, who owned it since new, insisted I buy it off him , he felt I would enjoy messing with it...as a project car....Caught me by surprise...I do find the car enjoyable to behold. I began to become infatuated with it within moments of ownership, as I have repaired things and driven it the feelings grow. The other day a guy who lives in my neighborhood stopped his walk, I have never spoken to him before, he just wanted to tell me he loves to walk by the car, he purposefully walks my block with the hope to see it parked in front of the house. I have never had that happen before...he owns suv's. i find that interesting.

I have a neighbor who sounds similar. He's always asking me about my Jaguar, like where do I get parts ? I'll say "Rockauto", he'll say "where ?", I'll say "on-line". Anyway, the guy doesn't know cars, he drives a Chrysler and can't even check his own oil, but he loves the look of my car.

We have owned my wife's 2006 XK8 since early February 2012. For the first few years after we purchased her car, I would see three or four other XK8s/XKRs per month driving around our general area. But for the past couple of years, I see perhaps three or four other XK8s/XKRs per year. While admittedly there were never very many of them, they seem to be a slowly-vanishing breed in our neck of the woods. I wonder what they are being replaced with by owners who do not DIY and had to pay a dealership or an indie shop to maintain and repair them....
