The scary thing is, that thing is likely available to anyone who has the money, and want to buy one, and not just for a mockup!!!!!!

Sorry]https://youtu.be/yfQRl3Y9NQ0[/QUOTE Sorry]] Sorry, the Jag CAN bus does not support that feature. You'll need an Aston Martin Vanish.

A few things (I'm slowly getting caught up on what all I've missed by not being around here much lately).

1. I want some of those toys added to my car too, so please add me to the group buy list.
2. Now I'm all about driving with the top down if it isn't raining, but once it gets below about 50 F, sorry, top is up.
3. I want whatever kind of tires they are using to not lose traction on that ice! Although I bet it would make for poor regular ride quality.
4. You should have remembered the Jag belonged to the villain. The bad guy ALWAYS is the one in the Jag. For good reason, being the bad guy is fun, even if the movies insist the good guy has to win.
5. Whiny/wimpy Halle Berry is whiny/wimpy. I like her much better when she's strong.

Ok, back to lurking a bit.

Tina, don't recall if you have a SmartTop controller for your car - one of the better mods for early convertibles. Allows one-touch roof operation, and roof/window up/down operation via the remote. On later cars, the remote button sequence gets a bit awkward.

I don't yet, but assuming I ever get my car back for more than a few days at a time, I will certainly look into that. I do like having the windows already down as I approach, so it would be that much nicer to have the top doing the same (especially for a reasonable price and it appears to be plug n play). Adding that to my (so far) short list. While my car is in the shop again, I've been looking more at mods for my new bike. Thank you for the suggestion!

Really that, getting all the badges and emblems blacked out and eventually I'd like to get the calipers painted to match the car (don't care for the red against the orange) are the only mods I've got planned. Once I'm completely out of CPO in a couple of years, I'll look into tuning, but not before then.

You know, Gibbo did outstanding orange calipers against his amazing blue paint. Maybe you should try blue calipers to go with your orange paint.

Well, when I had teal peekaboo color in my hair, I was told it went well with the car. I think I'll just stick with all orange and black though.

All forms of dress up can be fun, but this form of dress up is the most fun. Smoke Screen from the rear, missiles from the front. Now the AT shifter button has one more purpose.

There was actually a whole series of commercials with them. Loki and an F-Type? I'm in love. They also had some for some of the other models but I always got distracted by their lovely accents so can't remember what others there were.
