Definatley the best car in the neighbourhood. When i drove into my close last night a little kid shouted to his mates quick look at that mans car its a jaguar. Made me laugh

 

73.17 (74 on Sept.11)
Enjoying my 1998 XK8 Carnival Red convertible which has lots of room for golf clubs in the trunk, unlike my first British car back in 1964 - a 1963 Morgan 4/4.

 

51 and new to Jags but love cars and bikes and boats, and...you get the idea!

 

10/12 = 0.83 so correct present age = 73.83

A very warm welcome Martin.

You are a very lucky man indeed, she will keep you going for many years to come and help to keep you young.

Don't know what the wife will think about it though.

Enjoy the car and the forum.

49. But I was 37 when I bought my first XK8.

 

34. Bought it for my 30th birthday present to myself. It definitely beats the pants off the 97 4Runner.

 

I am 27....Well below the average 55+ age drivers in my area (what few there are).

 

51yrs
own 5 years XKR
too much trouble but I love this car.
It was started from "water pump"---
cam tensioner, thermostut,front bushes,pump for supercharger, brake switch,wheel hub,differential bearing, steering rack,.....
Uh fantastic
Still I am loving it.

 

42, bought my first Princess (1983 XJ6) at 29

 

64. Growing older but now up...

 

22!

 

Well on my way to 82 and own two of the best built. Plus a Model A, airplane, motorcycle. 90 % of my own maintenance and restoration.

 

61, my third Jag, but many previous Brit cars a lot of Japanese motorcycles, and now a Harley. I have also done at least 90% of my own maintenance and upkeep, but now I'm not so anxious to crawl under cars and squeeze under dashboards. ;^)

 

OK, I'll bite. 65. First Jaguar. Purchased one year ago in Chicago and driven back to the Seattle area. We decided to take a tour of a National Park in Wyoming. When we pulled up to the ticket booth the young gal was blown away that two old people would be driving such an exotic car. I guess she was expecting Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Lots of fun. Stone reliable.

20 going on 21 but bought the car when I was 19 and still loving every minute of it.

 

64, retired, and driving 35,000 a year. Wouldn't want to do it in anything else.
