Too old to care, young enough to remember -
Even with the little dings & scuffs, that is alot of car for the money.
If its not broke don't fix it.Comment

Insurance quotes were very, very reasonable actually mate. Im hoping Adrian flux can sort it out.. no worse then my surf with its mods. an 27mpg is going to be heaven!! its damn near double what im getting now.. factor in petrols abit cheaper an im on cloud 9!Originally posted by MudSurfer View PostGroup 18 insurance and 27mpg.......cheap?

Might be an idea to think about a gas conversion, there is a guy who comes up to see his son and he has 1 with the gas conversion and he says there's no real power loss and i have seen it shift onto the dual carrageway

Well mate, I'm really pleased that you got it! Looks like it could be a really nice car - I prefer the Audi personally, but the Jag is nice (particulaly if you are over 50 - sorry, couldn't resist it) but my mates XJR is very nice indeed.....so I know what you mean....
Hope the MOT is no problem and you get the bits you need cheap to sort the wings out dude!Too old to care, young enough to rememberComment

One my mates was saying his Dad does LPG kits.. so that might be worth looking into if he can do it nice an cheap! The car averaged 30mpg on the test drive.. heaven!!!Originally posted by Retribution View PostMight be an idea to think about a gas conversion, there is a guy who comes up to see his son and he has 1 with the gas conversion and he says there's no real power loss and i have seen it shift onto the dual carrageway

I want the MOT done asap just so if i need to get bits i can. My Uncle works in the automotive industry with a lot of trade companys so he's going to try an get someone to do him a favour an get the jag repaired cheap! Which is fantastic!
The current alloys on it are ugly... XK8 alloys fit so i've got a few in ebay im looking at.. if they stay cheapish i might get some, The current alloys have almost new tyres on so should fetch half decent money if i go that route.
better get the dents out before i worry about alloys though!
