Aloha from Hawaii!
I bought a MY2020 F-Type P340 in late 2022 and have learned an incredible amount about these cars from this forum. Finally decided to sign up and will attempt to contribute whenever possible. I have always enjoyed working on cars and worked in autobody shops from high school through graduate school and even after I began my professional career. Cars I have had include: 1970 Fiat 850 Spider and later 124 Sport Coupe; '68 Mustang; '70 Chevelle SS454; 2005 Infiniti G35 and '17 Q50 Red Sport 400; 1991 Jaguar Sovereign and '99 XJ8. I still have my 1990 Nissan 300ZX that I bought in 1990. Now retired and armed with my QuickJack and an air conditioned garage, I can work on our cars even during warm Hawaiian summer days. I am looking forward to interacting with all of you as we work to keep these wonderful F-Types in great running order.

 

Bit more re. the F-Type: P340 coupe in Carpathian gray; 20" Tornado wheels; inside and outside black packs; extended leather; 24k miles when purchased, about 29k now; replaced 1,200 mile P-Zeros with Pilot Sport 4S (love these tires and have them on the 300ZX as well); replaced OEM brake pads with Brembo ceramics (performing well). Obtained a second key fob and two physical keys (not from JLR dealer).

Just replaced the driver (left) side headlight assembly because of the dreaded dimming DRL issue.

I enjoy working on this car almost as much as driving it and looking at it.

Re. past cars, also had two Fiat X/19s. Great handling and fun despite needing more hp.

 

Welcome sir. At the very least we know you have great taste in cars ;-0

Cheers

 

Welcome. Your past car list is very similar to mine. I've had two 1975 Fiat 124 Spyder's, 1986 300 ZX over the years. Got my 2023 F-type R last March.

Retired also, but not as supple as I used to be to crawl around and under cars to do stuff on my own. Even though I built hot rods from scratch and restored sports cars 40-50 yr ago !!

 

Thanks for the welcome, DMeister; and thank you also for your previous posts that have been so informative and helpful.

 

Thank you for the welcome, jdsengineer. Like you, I used to do some heavier lifting in years past. A couple of my cars were total loss insurance write-offs that required the use of frame machines to resurrect. Nope, not anymore!

 

Cheers! Thanks for the reply that I can only see in my email but not int the posts! Maybe because we are both newer?
