Quad tail lights? Where from, Pix?

 

Tail lights are from Arden.

 

I usually like silver or grey metallic on a vehicle, but it hides the design features on the XK8/R. The darker colors highlight the design features, and lines of the car so much better especially the headlights and grille. IMHO. It is a beautiful car no matter what color it is.

 

I know it isn't an X100, but it is the same station!

 

Funny, your number plate looks the same as mine

 

Here is a picture to add to your list... my 2005 XK8 - Carbon Fiber edition... love it!

 

Take it to "Spanky's".

 

Cooling the cat :-) going in for front suspension work Weds:-))) I can’t wait for my first road trip

 

Is that coincidental number plate good for parking in the handicap spot at Ingrow station?

 

Haven't tried!

 

Not parked, merely paused (diagonally across 2 spaces on a Sunday afternoon after the final train of the day, if you're concerned).

It's a good look. John should be proud 👍

 

I got confirmation of my entry into the calendar competition yesterday. Now to wait and see if it makes the shortlist!

 

Heading into the Canadian Rockies for a little get away.

 

Stunning scenery. It's almost like mono and colour photos stitched together.

 

After several months off the road the XKR is finally roadworthy. The wheels have been refurbished (several times!) and all the leaks finally fixed, and new Pirelli P Zero tyres fitted. Adamesh stage 1+2 exhaust and new rear bumper mounts, clear side indicators and reflectors.
As a special treat I've coated the bodywork with Autoglym rapid ceramic spray. This stuff is brilliant - the bodywork is so smooth and shiny nothing sticks to it. It's so easy to wipe off dead flies and even brake dust. Highly recommended!

 

This is more of a "before" series of photos. By this time next year hopefully she will be more dependable (and less "Maybe") and a bit prettier.

Great thread. All the fabulous cars provide inspiration. Thanks.

 

part of the 'Fun' of these cars is the mystery, "what will happen next"??

 

Sunny day
