I absolutely loved this movie - the best I've seen in a long time! It takes place in a near future London, where a bunch of people have been killed off by a virus and the government is totally autocratic - everything the government does is "for your protection". You have to really pay close...

"Vortec" V6, that is. :P You all knew I sold my Mark VIII because I needed to get a small van, and I ended up getting a '99 Chevy Astro, with their 4.3L "Vortec" V6. It's pretty nice for a small van. Less than 42K miles, and it's the LS version, with most the bells and whistles. It's...

The best leather conditioner I've used is Mequiar's Gold Class - 'much better than the Lexol I'd previously been using. It really seems to go right down into the leather and condition it, unlike the Lexol... John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website]...

OK - First things first - I've set the price this low because this was a salvage vehicle, but repairs were done very well, (I think it likely could have been first repaired instead of salvage titled, but in CA, if the insurance company buys it back, it has to be licensed as "salvage"). It was...

Well, I'm thing of selling my '97 LSC, not because there's anything wrong with it, but because I really need something like a van, and also want to keep my '96 T-Bird, which I bought new. But I really have no idea on the amount I should look for. First things first - this was a salvage vehicle...

I'll bet a LOT more people are going to be aware of Mark VIII's after the show! And who's who in the last pic? (I do recognize you, Leo...). John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC '96 T-Bird 4.6L

What do you guys think? Below is from the December 2004 Motor Trend. Personally, I've always thought the low front scoop and clean hood and headlights were one of the main signatures of the XK series, and now they want to switch it to retro! I've always thought those little "droopy nose" grilles...

OK - I've searched all the posts here and it seems the easiest way to remove moisture from the neon tail light is to drill some small holes in from the back behind the reflectors. 'Anyone find anything that works better? John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website]...

I've been wanting to go to a live Cirque du Soleil show for some time. They were in San Francisco last year but I couldn't make it. Their specials on Bravo TV are great! John [link:mark8.org/lodnca|NorCal Chapter Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC '96...

It looks like everything's a go for this. The cruise/BBQ is on Sunday, but Craig is going to be at his friend's shop on Saturday helping with Chadley's car. If anyone wants to stop by Saturday afternoon, here are the directions to the shop: SATURDAY: anyone planning to head to the shop, it is...
