Watching this from Australia, as I'm hoping to pick up an XK8 03' coupe next week. It will be a 7 hour drive back home, so watching your trips gives me an idea of what to expect. Love looking down the nose of the XK8 Jag. And that exhaust note.! Fabulous.
Loads of lovely footage - but I had eyes only for your new roof liner and recovered a-pillars :) just spent this weekend doing mine and was grateful for your videos on the subject which I will link to when I get mine edited. Cheers Mark
Haha! Yep! Shame I had to split it into two parts and on grey days, might have to drive it the other way over the summer in the MG or something.... might need to take a picnic though as like to take all day 😂
Great video. I too was looking for a Jaguar XK but ended up buying an MGB roadster. I’ve travelled some of that route many times as I live in Storrington, which on the video you called Steyning. As you say, great views from the top of Bury hill towards Amberley. You can also get a good cheap coffee and Witeways cafe about half a mile from Bury hill. Love the videos, keep them coming
Thanks very much for the comment, I really enjoyed driving around the South Downs! Apologies for the town mixup! The footage was on separate cameras for that bit I think so must have mixed up footage from front facing one when I put it all together! I’ll have to checkout Witeways on a subsequent trip 👍 cheers!
Great couple of vlogs. It's all so flat in your neck of the woods tho! For your 2k subs road trip, pop down to sunny North Devon and experience the Exmoor/Lynmouth area and the demanding twist and hills - and history/views of course! And a meet up perhaps...
My neck of the woods, beautiful part of the world. Do you know about the "Bopeep" hill climb revival? It didn't run this year, but you might enjoy a trip there another year.
Cool! Just looked it up, seems like a good event 👍 I also saw that there used to be a BARC Annual Rally that went from Westerham to Eastbourne which might be a good thing to recreate if the route still exists, thanks for the comment!
Very enjoyable tour, car makes a lovely sound with that exhaust, have you noticed any increase in performance ? Congratulations on getting over 2000 subscribers.

Excellent! Thanks for the comment, driving the XK8 over longer distances is a joy in my opinion, good luck with the new car 😎👍

Hey, hey my home turf, Petworth! Have to keep an eye out for you. You certainly took the scenic route to Brighton, lol.

Oh and I completely sympathise with choosing an MGB! I love my BGT, it’s probably my favourite out of all my cars 👍
Good run! Jag sounds nice when you give it some beans!
such a beautifull trip with the xk8

I’d love to get over that way, in fact I was going to last weekend but it was a last minute change of plan and ended up going North instead of West!

@@granblogismo I thought that would be right up your street - I was intending to take the "B" for a run up the hill, but hey ho.. maybe next year.

Thanks! I haven’t noticed a performance improvement but does make it sound faster haha!
Good stuff, as always. When are you going to get north of Watford Gap and see some of God's own country?
Funny you should say that! North York Moors video coming next week!!!!
