Nice colour, congrats!!! "Uncle Buck" is a good name because, once on the slipperly slope, start shelling out the "bucks"!! :-)

The only opion I don't like is the ABD, you will need a shop or the Hammer in order to bleed the brakes. Not sure if there are any workarounds...

Cheers,

Mike

Some nice options, congrats on the car.
Hey, how does "XK7 - Leather Wrapped Shift **** & Cover" differ from the standard setup?

Aventurine is an awesome color, especially with light gray interior. Enjoy the ride.

Hmmm.... I have LSD/ABD and have no problem bleeding the brakes. Am I missing something?

Thanks. I think that it is a default code for the shifter. I can't see that it is any different from any other unit.

huh, ok, thanks.

I thought the X-options were from the exclusive program. My mistake.

I've got a couple more from the seller - I'll take some more when I have better weather outside here in PA....

Edited by Uncle buck to remove plate number from rear view.

Great - I live one hour east of Hershey and would love to take some group drives, especially in the fall. There are some great roads in the SE PA/NJ/MD/VA area.

This would interest me as well, as I have the same setup and have bled and flushed my brakes a handful of times with perfect results.


Oh, and Uncle Buck - beautiful 993! Congrats.
