While spending some quality time at the local watering hole last night I noticed our treasured babies were being featured on the big screen tuned to the Speed Channel. Of course it was impossible to hear the audio track but I did determine this was a feature on the XK8/Rs. I'd love to capture it on the DVR. Does anyone know of this video, its title and if it plays regularly?

 

Ok - did a bit of sleuthing myself. Check this out - it's a brand new video.

I just need to find out when the replay is scheduled!

 

I watched it last night, it's about manufacturing of the XK at the factory. very informative it was rebroadcast this morning and probably later today. Speedmakers on Speed channel, is the show. This is episode 1, the next episode2 is also about Jaguar the 3rd episode is Aston Martin and that as far as my DVD let me go. It's a must see for any Jag enthusiast. I am now definitely interested in the new XK after seeing this program. This car is state of the art.

The next showing is on March 3rd at 8PM eastern time. My DVR is set! Thanks Beg3yrs!

 

Check this out! When I turned it to the Speed Channel to find the Jaguar program they were showing Nascar racing. The driver they were showing at the time was Travis Kvapil because he was having some car trouble. HE USED TO OWN MY XK8! He bought the car new, then he gave it to his dad. I bought it from Kvapil's dad last year. I've never seen Kvapil racing before. I'm not a Nascar fan. When I bought the car the license plate was "KVAPIL 1"

Maybe one of these days he'll with the Daytona 500 hundred or the Sprint Cup and my car will be worth more money! LOL!

 

My DVR is showing a repeat on Sunday at 3AM, although it doesn't show which episode it is, so it might be different. I'm going to record it anyway. I'll upload it if it is the right one.

 

I guess he was able to easily handle the NASCAR car trouble cuz he's already owned a Jag!

 

My DVR shows that the episode on Sunday is about drag racing. The Jaguar episode doesn't air again until next Thursday.

 

Where it shows Drag racing that is the first episode. They never got the info right.

The drag racing is the episode about building the new XK, The information on the listing is screwed up, it's all about the new automated assembly line.
