Default Brought the XJS Home tonight

Well, man it's beautiful. Drove it home this evening (about a 45 minute drive on KC freeways and through Lansing and Leavenworth).

The good:
Temp stayed just a tick below dead center the whole time.
Oil pressure stayed just below 60 (judging it was just below the marks between 4 and 8 on the guage).
Drove smooth and shifted great

The Bad:
No brake lights and one tail light out (gonna do a search and may post an separate thread).
Can't get the driver side door to lock (does this car not have power locks btw?)

The Ugly:
front suspension probably needs a bit of work but I expected that.
brakes were spongy but they were on the test drive, new fluid going to be the first step.

Pictures to follow... (when I'm not so blinking tired).

Congratulations on the new ride, and a relatively uneventful trip home! Post some pics!
