We took the XKR from Houston to Vegas and back earlier this year - it is only on those longer trips that you really appreciate the "Grand Tourer" monica - Wish I could get the same range on a tank but that aint gonna happen!

Default Nice color!

That's a good looking color, somewhat unusual I think.

After a good sorting out of the usual older car problems my 2000 XK8 has become a pretty reliable car.

Once I came to understand that 1990's era electronics simply don't last forever and replaced the usual suspects (ABS rebuild, Throttle Body rebuild, MAFS, Brake Switch, Trans fluid, new battery) all the other oddball codes that used to come up seemed to go away.

The key to keeping mechanical things happy is to use them frequently.

Welcome!
