Left to Home Depot under cloudy skies but when I came back the light was picture perfect. I don't necessarily like car pictures when the sun is brightest, but when the sun is trying to dig through the thin clouds that to me is the best light for car pictures and that is what it was at around 1:30 pm, so I said why not, let's take some. Next time I'll take and post some top down pics.
Back from Lady Mary's road trip, she took a slight detour to pose against this streetscape from Kumagawa-juku, a post-station town little changed from the days of the samurai. (Full trip report post to come later....)
Treated my new 28 year old beauty to a face lift today. My guy has truly mastered his craft. The tape on the bonnet leading edge marked all the dings and dents. She looks fantastic..I'm very happy. My bill?...only $350 USD.
You should be able to delete the Pics by using the 'Backspace Button' rather that the 'Delete Button'
Thanks, Orange... The only method that I see that gives me access to an "active" screen to work with is pressing the "edit" button. From there I can go and backtrack anything into deletion, including pics and that appears to work and erase everything, including on the "Preview" screen, but after closing out of there and going back to the thread, the post is right back on the thread again including the pics. I repeated several times, but it is like bad weed and keeps coming back.
Is it the "edit" button what you would use in order to gain access to a mode that would allow you to backtrack the contents? Or?
Thank you!

Yes, you have to use the Edit button to start with and then put the Cursor somewhere under one of your Pics, then keep on Back-Spacing and when it eventually gets to the Pic it should then Delete it like it would a line of Text
But then you have to SAVE what you've done or it will keep coming back, though you'll still be left with your Header (Headline) as only a Mod can delete that
So the Workaround for that would be after you have deleted your Pics and or Text, just put duplicate post or posted in error or something like that
But don't forget to SAVE what you've done or those Pics will come back to haunt you
Also you need to bear in mind that you only have a limited time to do any editing 24 hours (I think!) before your Post is 'Locked' in which case you would then need to ask a Moderator to delete it
Today I took Lady Mary down via Kyoto and Nara to Kobe, 350 kilometres of high-speed touring. In Kyoto we visited the Gekkeikan Sake Brewery Museum, which you can see behind the car. Visitors get free sake to take home. No, I did not drink and drive....
Not the best quality pic....
This is a beautiful coupe in a beautiful color (Kingfisher Blue?). On this pic one can really appreciate the smart re-design achievement of Jag engineers via the face-lift. The side window rounded back end shape before the C pillar with the dark shaded end makes the car look so much cleaner, elegant, than the previous sharply pointed window back end with that black piece that I don't know what it's made of and that I never thought it helped the coupe XJS looks. To me, personally, this side window change makes a significant difference. Just placing above picture next to a pre face-lift coupe side picture will show the face-lift achievement.

Hello, thanks for all the info. Well, this morning I went to check that post again and, to my surprise it was gone. Maybe the late effect of whatever I did yesterday, I don't know, but I sure hope that it doesn't pop up again. I much appreciate your help with this.

Yup, it's Kingfisher Blue. I really like the colour. I wasn't originally aiming for it, thinking dark grey or dark red would look swish, but in person it's very nice indeed. Can look almost like BRG at night, and then take a remarkably vivid tone in bright sunlight. The Doeskin interior is a bit dull, however. I'd much prefer grey or dark red, but they won't go very well with blue.
I'm of two minds regarding the facelift C pillar. While I do think it's a much neater, smoother design, less fiddly and bitsy, and that black panel in the old style does seem tacked on, the original one is much more uncompromising, a purer design in that sense. The rear is similar - while I prefer the so-called Gothic rear lights, the bit in between seems far more dated than the rest of the design. In general, the facelift is smoother, simpler in design, and as the core shape of the car is such a simple shape, with simple curves tracking from front to back, it suits it very well, whereas the pre-facelift details, like badging and so on, give it a much older air.
However, my preferences are really like eye colour on a beautiful girl: they would never be the deciding factor of whether she looked nice or not, merely an asset. The car's a stunner whatever year, in European/ROW spec at least.

Thanks for the link. That is quite an interesting review of the good and the bad of the XJS body design and assembly. He does share my take on the pre face-lift C-pillar black piece.
I wanted to make some pictures of the dune buggy derelict ion my drive for advertising it for sale.
An innumerable collection of digital cameras. Only got one to light up. and it advised that the card was full. when I had the card in a card reader, it failed to load. It seems that card is a dud.
I'm in the past as well as to my cell phone. It is a dumb flip. It has a camera. And, I've managed to open it. Alas, no way to send or down load!!!
Might either find a car that will light up. Or get one of the really of
Sony's to light up. 3x5 floppy is I;s recording media. Thos machine has a drive. It might read....
