uh ... is this bragging?

Hey, Accumulator, you really should consider joining your local Jag club. I belong to JAGSL (Jag Assn of Greater St Louis), and have found the folks there very friendly, helpful, and supportive. And I love going to Jag Concours events. So far, I'm planning on Indianapolis, KY, KC, and StL. It would be so cool if I saw you at one of those. It might rekindle your hope/desire to get really serious about your Jag! :)



You're right: The camera is very kind to the red Jag. For now, I'm content to let her be the daily driver. Frankly, we've sent out gentle feelers to folks who might want to buy the trophy car; if that happened, I think I'd start getting serious about getting the red one into Concours condition.
 
Lynn- As my life starts settling down (various things have had it in upheaval mode for the last few years) I do indeed want to get more active in the whole auto-hobby. Gee, if I were superstitious I'd hesitate to even THINK that. Seems like something always comes up.



I AM really enjoying getting the XJS ready for the summer. It's probably the only car I'll really keep forever so I don't mind spending so much time on it. And every year it gets older, so every year it looks better for its age, if you know what I mean. Stuff that looked AWFUL on a 2-year-old car doesn't look so bad now.
 
Thanks, rightlane! I really do appreciate your "thumbs-up."



Accumulator, I know you love these babies. Why toil out there in solitude??? :nono Go find a local Jag club at jcna.com and start playing with other local devotees. I just spent this afternoon with one of my St Louis Jag club members -- swapping stories, tips, and drools -- he admiring my red Jag, me admiring his newly-restored '76 XJ12 ... lordy! it was wonderful. You gotta get into a community, Accumulator!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm emulating the Ford truck guy with my exclamation points.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) :lol:lol
 
Lynn- Heh heh But I LIKE doing my toiling in solitude :p



You gotta get into a community, Accumulator!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I hear you; I agree, but first I have to get some free time. We've been in the "new" house for 2 years now and we're still unpacking and living amid boxes and other disorganized stuff. Unfortunately, the property is still REALLY taking a lot of time to get squared away and we have a lot of different interests and commitments competing for our time. Things are still at the not-ready-for-company level and that's not how I like to live. A buddy of mine has an '89 XJS that he's just nuts about and I can't even find time to visit with him, even though I drive past his family's store every day. Don't give up on me yet, though! This is the earliest I've started getting the XJS ready in years. Actually, I didn't drive it at ALL for several years, so I'm making (some) progress :D



Note to self: I had a bit more time (but less fun) before getting active at Autopia :o

You asked for it, Brad. I finally got the car cleaned up, car & trophy in the same place, and daylight for photography. I put this shot in my gallery.
