Hello all, first and foremost just want to say you have a great forum here. Have been a gearhead all my life, but looking to become a "petrolhead". After watching a few old episodes of Top Gear, they featured one of the KWE XJ-S's and I just fell in love. It reminds me of my first car, an '85 BMW 635csi but to me it has more presence, and that interior! Wow.

I've been contemplating my next project car ever since I completed my Fleetwood, so I'm hoping to pick one up within the next few months. I'd really like to find a 6-cyl, but they seem to be quite rare so it looks like I'll be picking up either a V-12 or a Lump. I've always wanted a V-12 car, so I won't be building a lump, but if I pick up a lump, it will stay a lump, it just depends on what I find that fits my budget. Hope to gain alot of knowledge from these forums.

Just keep your eyes peeled for the car you really want. The V12 can be a blast to drive, but the wallet suffers for every mile. I have driven a v12 XJS and I must say it really was a blast.
