I transferred my private plate from my X type to my XKR and it still makes people smile, or even laugh out loud, but that's why I bought it.

On my cleaning of The Dragon I noticed that the aerial appears to be a 5 piece telescopic unit but only 3 of mine come out, the top 2 smaller one and the larger base one. Is it a 5 piece unit and 2 are just sticking? If so I will try the trusty fish oil (WD 40). Not going to try anything more drasti...

You're definitely not alone there

Gary, look at the 3rd post in this thread, must admit I did a double take.

xk8 OR xkr ......... It's purely a matter of your own personal choice, whichever gives you what YOU want.

Hi Jimmy, good luck with AutoTrader, I've found it pretty informative. I have a few pictures of "The Dragon" in the Photo Gallery on this site which is worth looking at for ideas. ( I mean the whole gallery, not just my little contribution!)
