Thanks everyone !!!

My son is fine, thank you for asking. Nothing wrong with his body, and his spirits are high.

The car in the back ground is a 67 Jaguar MK II ( which the now S Type is based off of, for those who might not know). Was my fathers, and was his daily driver up till he passed 7 or so years ago.



I do press the pedal down faster, which most of the time, spin the tires, and the little yellow indicator in the dash cluster flickers on and off. Probably need new rears, since the dealer only replaced the fronts. Ive heard mixed reveiws on the sprint booster, but I'm still researching the options.

Good all is well ! But come on its an extra 60 hp !
I know , but still, that 535i was fun, and felt a little quicker on the get up. But trust me, I have no complaints on this ride. I smile each time I drive it

Good to hear.

I thought it might have been a Jaguar but I wasn't sure from the reflection.

Yeah, sounds like tires with more grip are in order. The mixed reviews of the sprint booster are generally from the crowd, like me, that doesn't have one and can't believe how expensive they are for a simple unity gain (electronic) device [op amp to increase the signal from the hall effect sensors. $5 worth of parts at the most].

Love those classic JAGS. If it ever takes too much space in your driveway give me a yell. Happy to take it off your hands. It looks like a real beaut. Take good care of it.

Sounds like you got a little more banged up than you first thought. Good luck.
I like the extra care you took on blocking your license plate with Mt. Charleston.

She is in good condition structurally. It hasn't been started in about 6 years The interior needs to be restored (of which my father was getting too, but didn't get to far with it), but has all the parts in the trunk.. He changed the wheels to these,and I still have the original wheels that he replaced. Still have the side skirts for the rear. Ive had offers in the past from people, but I'm particular it goes to a true Jaguar enthusiast, and not somebody who wont take the correct time, and care in its restoration like my father would have. As A kid, I was lucky enough to grow up with a 68 912, 76 911S ( of which I own now), Austin Healy, E type, 2002, etc. He loved his cars, and it showed, and did what ever restro that needed to be done, himself, and to the letter.

If your one of them, then maybe.

Ya, like they say, stuff will pop up later after the accident, and sure enough, it did. But I will say, I am doing allot better. This epidural should wear off soon (or so they say), and then we will judge where to go from there.

Thanks on the plate.
