Love the car but can't stand matte finished paint jobs. Looks like it was painted with a Krylon can.

As a good old southerner you should appreciate "Say it with Krylon"

LOL I remember that. I just do not understand the fascination with getting a beautiful vehicle and putting this disgusting ugly paint on it.

Removed, had painted and re-installed the rear lower defuser. Love the look in matching paint. Was this an option as I have seen them both ways?

Goodyear just wasn't willing to continue massive development on tires to be delivered just to the Tyrell team.

A friend of mine was working for Team Tyrell during Jackie Stewart's time there. It was before I met him and he's gone now so I can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure he was there during the P34 days too. There were a number of interesting concepts around that time, and some interesting cheating too. Also, some not so interesting cheating but, as they say, "that's racing."

Thanks! I was trying to showcase the car's silhouette and highlight the wheels, monochrome worked the best on black paint.

Installing PPF on the side sills and side sills on the car this weekend.

Not sure if it's because of the black, but I think the sills really accentuate the rear wheel arch. (FYI - Wheel gap is high since car was jacked onto ramps.

Wondering if there is even a single other 30-something out there in the world with this eclectic pair of Brits in the garage?

Imagine my surprise, and delight, when I paid a visit to a dear friend in Portland today and discovered that her Range Rover Evoque was still sporting the 2018 Jaguar Wild Blueberry Blast sticker - courtesy, as were all 3 years of our events, of our very own, the wonderful MBourne, ladies and gentlemen - put there since...last August!
