Going full circle
Hi from Sunny California!
We had Jaguars in the family when I was a kid - had a hot 3.4 (Mk1) ex-works car, learned to drive in a 1275 Cooper S and an XK150! Watched them race in the glory days as a teen and had golden opportunities, never fully realizing at the time that I was in the mix, hanging out with the creme de la creme in the racing world. Yes I am old and have a few good stories from back in the day. Moved around the world, always playing with cars, hot rodding and racing, and finally came to roost in California. Now venturing back into Jaguar territory with a Jaguar based hot rod and then plans for other Jaguar toys to keep me busy/broke in my old age. I hope to learn a lot on this forum and to be able to be a positive contributor too.

Thank you for making me feel welcome gentlemen. After thinning the current herd I have a list of Jaguar 'desireabilia' in my viewfinder, however my other half may have other ideas. At least I have squirreled away a collection of Jag and Daimler engines and parts for some of my more lurid automotive fantasies.
