Howdy from Little Elm, TX!
I've been enjoying Jags for years and only recently decided to try the X-Type. I have an `01 XJ8 that my wife loves and the `03 X-Type is our latest addition to the barn. I've been building, buying, selling, fixing, and thing else to do with cars since I was 10 years old. Just love anything on wheels.
I joined the group to access technical information and view topics on vehicle specific information.
On the home front, I'm married, 3 kids (20, 11, 9 months old). As you can tell, I'll never be an empty nester, but enjoying life all the same. I work as a test engineer and been involved in electronics since 1985. My passion is mechanics. A couple of years ago I built a diesel motorcycle that got 145MPG! Top speed was only 72MPH, but the bike turned out very well. That's my only other claim to fame.
Cheers!
David

It appears that I'll have to resize all the images.
I used a Chinese version of a Yanmar diesel engine and paired it up with a Comet Torque-converter system and mounted it on a Kawasaki KLR 650 frame. The frame required a fair amount of modifications, but it all came together in the end. I'll upload some images a little later.

David, I hope you don't mind I helped you out.
Now I saved the last picture for you to resize, heres how. Edit your post (click "edit"), click (in this case your last picture) make sure it opens all the way, right click picture, "copy", then go back to "edit thread", scroll down where image is to go and right click "paste", click save. POOF enlarged pictures.
