It is a 2000 Jaguar XK8 that is "Topaz" in color. I named it "Ian" (after Gravknife). I paid $4200.00 for the vehicle and have put over $7000.00 into it to bring it into running condition. (It had but 60014 miles on it when I bought it from a private party).

What fun!

Fishtail

I have called my car many names of late like w##ker ,Piece of Sh#t and others that I better not repeat here . It now resides in rhe garage with the gearbox stripped .
But I never had a car named after me ,Thanks for the thought and hope it serves you well and that it runs better than my vehicle does at the moment .

I personally would have given it a fiercer name being a Jag .

I rode BMW motorcycles "back in the day" but no more. I will be 70 on December 1st. I'll drive the XK8 back to Tijuana, BCN one of these days. (I stay in the tourist areas and keep a low profile).

I ADORE this Grand Touring coupe'! It gets admiring glances wherever I go. I replaced the timing chains and tensioners as well as a tune-up. H runs like a stallion!

Fishtail - in my opinion, the XK8 is one of the most visually appealing cars ever made.
