15 years married today!
Celebrated with a nice lunch, and a sunny drive back through the mountains.

We bought this car some 1 1/2 yr. ago, a week after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after a rapid refocus on the enjoyment of life, whatever the future will bring.
Both are holding up perfect so far.

 

I added the R emblem several months ago and I think it adds to the look of the grill.

 

Waiting for a nice drive is a nice "modernised" interior

 

 

I know this thread might be a little old, but I had to post these pictures that I took last night with the Jag in beautiful Napa Valley!

 

Stainless Grille , HiPro super white halogen HID 5900 K headlights and fogs , 245/45/18 Nitto NT555's on Deep Dish Diamo 10 spokes with Red Brembo Ceramic pads and 5 x 3.5 Stainless exhaust tips

 

Definitely 2 good 2 B True

Thanks

 

Nice car in a nice area of the country!
But I miss your city lights fitted in the inner light units. Broken?

Thank you , she gets looks from drivers in all walks of life.

 

Nice legs to go with those great looking wheels ;o))

 

Today was such a nice day I decided to take Jeremy J. out for a strop ;o)
He hadn't been out of the garage for 6 weeks....it's Winter here....and it was
such a beautiful day.
All fuelled up, disconnect the battery charger....turn on key and fire up after a
few turns on the starter.
I always start my car while standing outside the vehicle....let it do it's own thing and it always works.
fast idle settles down to warm up while i clean my Serrengetti Aviators
hop in and away we go down town and head out on the highway lookin' for adventure ;o)
Devonport is 46klm up the coast and an easy traffic free run at this time of day
just how i like it.
I was able to sit on 120kph just wafting along and the big cat was in it's element.
After a great lunch and agreeable red, it was time to head home.
Again, a clear run and all systems working in unison as they should with Climate set on auto at 22 deg.C....some Handel emenating from the sound system....doesn't get much better than this.
We ended the day with a photo shoot at a local vantage point.

 

 

I got a picture of my XJR and XKR together while cleaning the garage.

 

Went for a mountain drive, as we entered splendid autumn weather, with temperatures around the 30th, and clear blue skies.
Passed some friends and their 130 year old house.

Jag got tinted side and turning lights and new trunk switch.

 

 

Beautiful! What kit is that? The front doesn't look familiar

I think I might have to get my Brembos painted red too, they look really good

 

Thanks Grandell.


The sill and rear fender pieces(that were slightly modified) are OEM TWR Jaguar Sport parts that were used on the last version of the Jaguar Sport XJR in the early '90's.


They came out of the old TWR Kidlington factory via a place I deal with in England that sells mostly Aston Martin parts, my wife actually bought them from England to Canada on a flight.


The front spoiler I made myself from scratch out of Fibreglass, I wanted to do something that would look OEM that was more subtle than the Arden and Japanese aftermarket ones.

Just finished cleaning and waxing...wheels and tires done...windows polished, and stainless touched up.

Say hello again to 740 hp!




SVP and XJR together:

 

Thank you! The answer to the question is I pressed the headlight button on the key fob to get the headlights like that; the Jag wasn't running when i took those pictures. I thought it would give it a cool effect. Thanks again
