Hi all. This is not my normal 'help this doesn't work' type of post. Having been fortunate to take this week as holiday I've just returned home from a 450 mile 3 day top-down blast on a golfing and social trip. Having owned my 2006 XK only since March, this was the first decent blast I've been able to do - and has given me a superb opportunity to evaluate the car and compare to my former 2002 R. The expressions 'chalk and cheese' spring to mind. What I love about the current car is its..styling... handling.. poise..comfort...presence...fun factor...exhaust note...responsiveness...agility...understated elegance... ability to prompt other drivers to smile and wave...draw admiring comments from people in the car park...golikesh1toffashovelwhenyouhit theloudpedal.....and return 29mpg into the bargain!! In comparison my faithful x100 was..faster..cramped..scary at times round corners..but just as much fun in its own way. So my point is...How lucky are we to be able to indulge our passion for these truly wonderful cars that provide such a 'feelgood' factor.
High spot was crossing the River Severn on the hottest day of the year with the hood down - the stereo on full blast and just admiring the view.....when I caught myself in the mirror with the daftest smile ever....Enjoy.....
