30 miles of hills and curves on a two-lane twisty that connects the wee hamlets of Marion and Tazwell, VA. Worth seeking out if you’re in the area.

Wautuga watershed area NC and TN border.

 

I love those wheels. They look especially good with the lowered ride height. 👍

 

Hello everyone. New owner here.

I thought this forum and thread would benefit from recent upgrade of cam tensioners on my XK8 with 31,363 genuine miles. Car has extensive and regular services but I could not determine if the Cam Tensioners had been replaced. And with a low mileage it was looking unlikely. I want to keep this beautiful car for some years. I negotiated a discount from the dealer to budget for this job, before purchasing the car. It’s wasn’t cheap, but reduced the risk of failed tensioners in the future.

I hope it helps those considering whether to replace or not.

Many thanks
