finally relented

[mirach]

hi to all on here. I have finally accepted that 50 is too old for a bike engine kit car and bought a lovely 2002 (51) xk8 and have to say was one of the most sensible things I have ever done, (apart from the fact that I could fix the kitcar if it went wrong)

Well done! Keep reading the BB posts and the mysteries of maintaining an XK8 will soon disappear. Mike.

Hi Rob, welcome from another newbie !
Got mine in December last so still getting to grips with it in terms of repair / renovation... enjoying it too.

How about a "bike engined" production car to satisfy your kit car need... get yourself a Honda S2000 !

9000 rpm, 240 bhp, lowish weight, six speed box, rear wheel drive,two seats,... bike on four wheels !

The Jag? lovely, quick, comfy, effortless cruiser.... love it !

agree with all the comments on the jag the bike engined kit was a real scream, 9000 revs yeehaa just coming on second cam. like I have said though ..far too manic for me,
no real issues with the xk as yet save for saggy headliner I have glued it back but problem is that the material has parted company with the foam backing so glue shows through, will get it sorted properly soon .
