I've been thinking about it for a while and keeping an eye on the ads, when this one popped up it ticked all the boxes so I jumped in.

I have no idea, I'll have to do some research.


Moderator question, since when have we been able to see the other members names currently viewing a thread? Is this a new feature or have my eyes been going longer than I thought?

It's just the old age kicking in JJ that's always been there.

that's definatly on the list when I get the time.
and you might want to check into the pressure relief valve also. No XK convertible owner should be without! quote]
Also on the list, thanks.

She just slipped her top down to get her picture taken!
Actually the cover was the only thing that I could see missing in the pics before I bought it, I asked about it and they said that they didn't have it, so I was resigned to buying one, but when I checked under the spare wheel cover there it was, so I'm a happy camper.

That's not a stock grill. Do you know where it came from?

I like them
Maybe you don't need them in Phoenix since it never rains there, but Racer is the only tech doing door sill and fender well replacements and protection I know of.

I am buying a set as we speak.

Might be in your neck of the woods in April, Goodyear mostly,...will look for you in your 'Navy Blue Suit'.

cheers,
