2 parts luck, 4 parts hard graft, 3 parts risk,1 part taking the ****

I think I am at the hard graft stage.

Risk, now that's a big one!

It's certainly nice to see how well others are doing, you could say inspirational.

Do the late ones come supercharged as standard or was the one you just linked a 'R'?

You can get either XKR is supercharged, XK8 non charged, but this time im going on condition alone, i want the lowest miles 1 owner ABSOLUTELY mint example of either i can find, as late as possible a 2005/2006 probably.

The other plan is buy anything and have it rebuilt by KWE or someone, so its basically a brand new car.

That is one epic car :O

It's full auto tho? Not even optional flappy paddle? Mental.

Thats the beauty, its just sublime when you get a good one, you just plod along till you want to boot it, then bang.

I know everyone on here thinks im a mental case but these cars are just lovely, better than me Bentley.

In their own way they are better, no they havent got that presence but they drive superb, especially round town, that ride is lovely, subtle.

That there my man is superb.

I always make one adjustment though, i ditch that stupid out of date sat nav and replace it with the classic 3 dials in the middle

When you do that make sure you put up some pictures.

Bad to the bone.

That XKR on autotrader looks awesome!

Not liking the new shape then? I've been out in a friends one and I like it but the interior was a bit marmite (it was like cream/blue leather with wood).
