I went to the gym the other day, and when I was leaving there happened to be an X300 parked next to me. Of course I had to snap a picture or two.

Only X100 on border between Saudi and Bahrain

Really enjoyed the drive across the Bahrain-Saudi bridge - the King Fahad Causeway for a client meeting at the halfway point.

Bet I’m the only XK that was ever here.

David,
Interesting area of the World. Where is this Halfway Point? I looked on the Map and never could find one that would tell me much or show me this Area! Bahrain certainly is a small Country....It must be highly populated....Tell us more!

Google Maps link to King Fahd Causeway

Sorry no camels on the bridge. Camels can’t go 120kph but our Big Cat sure can cruise that speed without any effort.

Not sure if this Google Maps link will work here.

Not my home. It's my seller's home. A little too rich for my blood and my age.

Imagine how much a house like that would cost here in Southern California!

I've always thought the X100 looks best in convertible form and X150 in coupe. Would love to have one of each someday!!

Honestly having one of each, it's a good pairing. The X100 XKR Convertible really is a great cruiser with a bit of oompf, and the X150 4.2 XKR is a better handler and although still not a sports car, it is a very nicely handling GT car. Both are really easy to drive every day and a blast. I don't drive with the top down during daylight, but at night it's a blast to have the X100 with the roof down.
