Default Sold the Jag

Well all good things must come to an end and I sold my 2002 XKR. Want to thank all of you for the various info and advice you passed my way, as a parting gift I would like to share my table that I crafted from a spare trunk (boot). I loved the car but the final straw was the use of dissimilar metal in the wiring system and the resulting non-stop i

issues, I cant get past that. Well it was a beautiful car, none the less

Great table.

Sorry to see you go but Jaguar has a habit of drawing people back.

One leaves and one enters.
I just purchased a 2002 XKR that needs a little love and that is what it is getting now.
Not many of these in Maine where I live.

welcome to the joy. Not many in NE Oklahoma either. AFAIK, I've got the only XK variant in the state north of Tulsa. Last one i saw (XK8) was in Dallas during a recent trip. I despise seeing myself coming my way in another car, so most modern cars are not on my must have list.

Funny, in this same (home)town, population 30,000, I was first attracted to the fine lines of Jaguar in 1964 or '65. On my walk to Jr High I passed my the Price Tower every day, twice. The Price Tower is Frank Lloyd Wright's only skyscraper. If you don't know who that is, it's time to Wikipedia. Every day I got to see in HC Price Sr and HC Price Jr's parking spaces two matching FHC e types. To me, a 13 year old kid, I couldn't have more in awe had they been flying saucers. Still am.

I like the table, but I really love the floor. What variety of wood is it?

The table rocks! Must be hard to rest cocktails on though? That aside it is art.

Cheers!

looks like Tiger Wood. I have that on the 1st floor of my house. It’s stunning even after 15years.
