On December 23rd I picked up my new car, an X100 XK8, from a dealer in Glasgow - what a great present I got for myself! Really pleased with it having done well over 500 miles already. Many thanks to two people on PH who really helped me by looking at the car before I made the journey up to Glasgow - cardigankid and jith - the information was really valuable.

Only taken one photo so far and that was about 1/4 mile after collecting it having just filled it with fuel, sorry for the poor quality. More to follow once I wash it!

Hi Andy,
glad you like the car.

God, it was hard work getting it right, but we got there in the end; and it's a bloody quick one too!

Hope you have a lot of fun with it. Pop in and see me the next time you are up in Glasgow.

Regards,

James.

The weather was pretty awful her today so no wash yet, hopefully tomorrow.

Great drive home in it James and loving it so far, thanks for all your help getting it running so well, certainly seems quick!

Beautiful car, and I am sure that it is even better for the 500 miles you have done! All the best!
