Very Disappointed member!!!
Today is the first time since I've had this car(apart from the fire downtime) that I haven't had time or found and excuse to drive it.
I went to lock the front door tonight and looked out to the street to see an XJ6 just wanting to be driven. Although I did ride past it this morning on my Bonneville with a huge smile as I headed for a mountain road(the same said road the XJ6 ignited itself on).
Still,one day not driven is one day you can never catch up on.
These cars were built to be driven daily and we should make sure they are!

This is only the beginning of the breakdown of the relationship. I know the signs.
First you forgot to stop by. Then you forgot to call. Then you forgot ... And pretty soon it's all over and Fireball is left wondering what went wrong.
LOL

Is it broken? I do remember reading somewhere you were having diff issues.
Winter here is blue sky and no snow so that's no excuse for us.

Some of you have probably seen these pics before.
See first pic. I've got to fix that Crooked Leaper,it gives me the s#!%s. When I'm driving it is angled to the left. How the hell am I supposed to line up pedestrians with it? It's like shooting with wonky sights.
Bet you are hangin' out for that,just watched the Snowy videos last week. Sweet.

Wonky sights!!! Just take a little windage. she shoots a little low and left, just easer in a tad of up and right!!
Yabut. forgot that one. when I was a claim manager, some of my guys/gals used that on instruction from me. My response, "that is not a word, do it"!!!
Give all the critters a turn....

[QUOTE=o1xjr;1009873]Yep, its taken a lot of work to get the car sorted so I can park it on the drive,and had to manipulate the exhaust to get it in the garage. Have to have both tanks below 1/4 and no passengers in the car to get it over the top.

Wow I see what you mean about the driveway. must have missed these pics when you first posted. Quite a challenge.

The challenge was getting my wife to reverse out of the garage with the kids in the car(took 12 months,been their 17 years now,it's old hat). She used to lock them in the house then reverse out and go back up to house to get them.
Life is about the little challenges,lol. When you look out the garage door all you can see is the roof across the road.
