Thanks guys, nice of you to say so. The best bit is I get to drive it! We all own very nice Jags.

Default Another reason I love the Jag...

I love the fact that the Jag convertible looks just as fabulous with the top up as it does with the top down... I previously owned a 350z coupe and while I loved it, I wanted a convertible but would never consider the 350z convertible as they are just NOT done well (the convertible lacks the sweeping body lines of the coupe and looks like a Toyota Solara with the top down).


Perfect with the top up...

...and perfect with the top down!

giandanielxk8,

I don't know...….but that is one heck of a good looking 2001! Looks great without the Side moldings.....Looks like Chris has changed the front Nose Piece to a 2003.....
Chris, show us a Front and Back Photo and tell us about the Wheels!.....

The wheels are Avant Garde M310's in 20"... the lug pattern is 5x120 and fit perfectly with whatever offset they come with (I bought these off of craigslist from a guy who had them on his leased BMW 5-series)... I did have to have the center bore enlarged by ~4mm but it was no problem.

As far as my car's exterior, the only other body change I made was to put in a mina gallery grille and an XKR rear spolier, as shown below (sorry for the gas station pic, I was on my way to work this morning):

Thanks for the Photos of the Front and Back, Chris! No doubt about it being one of the best looking 01's running around most Gas Stations...You win the Prize for that!
It's a super looking XK! Goes to show you that it doesn't matter what year the X-100 is, It cleans up well! Good taste helps and Chris you've got some of that!!!

NICE!

Yes a very tidy looking XK8. Looks like you have the weather there for it too. Noticed though you do not have a front number plate(or whatever you call them) Don't you have to have them where you live?

No... over here it is determined by each state and luckily Florida does not require a front license plate

+ extra points for using the cover when the top is down. Looks perfect.

Lovely pictures. I would have been tempted to lose the sunrise though:




Very menacing.

I thought I had finally taken an OK picture, then my wife politely pointed out that the side I photographed was in the shadow.


This is the view from our front yard. The red roof building North of us is the hospital, above it is the Pacific Ocean. To the right is Hagatna Bay and above it some of the Tumon hotels can be seen. It's a small dot on the picture, but in the middle is a natural cliff in the shape of two faces where the local legend of Two Lover's Point takes place.


The tree above us is a Delonix Regia and it is convinced it is winter time since the image was taken on the 2nd of January, despite it being 80 degrees. Around October it was covered in beautiful red flowers. I was trying not to get it in the picture. I'm pretty sure that half of the Island is in view.


This was an excellent spot to view the Quadrantids meteor shower that passed on the 3rd. I would never be able to photograph those though.

Default Our new toy!


Just had to have it! Now it sits under cover in our driveway until spring. Only 47k miles on it and a Florida car. I wonder how may had the black interior. I haven't noticed that many on our site.

Looks like Recaro seats I think?..... Good choice if they are.
Car looks great in red.
Enjoy.
