Default Hello everyone. introducing myself and my XK8

When I was born, my dad drove me home from the hospital in Watford, England in his 67 XKE FHC.
25 years later, I now have my own Jag.
I traded in my Mitsubishi Evo last friday, so an Ice blue on biscuit XK8 coupe has joined my Supra and 240SX.
It's taken a while to find a jaguar forum that uses a user friendly format, but this site appears to have it.
I'm a wheel designer at MHT luxury alloys, so hopefully I can put some wheels and suspension on my car soon, followed by some Arden bits.
Here's a pic:

What year is that 240? I have a 1993 S13. Do you still live in England, or are you here in the states? I ask because in England you guys don't have 240sx's, instead 200sx's that come from factory with an SR20DET. What year is your Supra? MKIV TT or no?

I'm in the states, socal to be exact.
My 240 is an 89 two-tone coupe, with some work done to it:

My Supra is a 91, blue on blue leather. I prefer these to the MKIV. It'll be getting a 1JZ 5-speed swap soon.

No way! You got an S13.4! I thing the S14 front-end on the S13 Coupe is super sexy, specially the mean eyes Kouki! I've seen that specific pic of the car a crap-load of times on the net. The offset on those rims is ridiculous! Have you done anything engine wise, because I know Cali is a PUTA state when it comes to emissions? Congrats either way on all three of your cars!

Thanks! The engine is a swap, but I really don't want to say much more.
Only 3 days of ownership on the Jag, and already it needs it's power steering pump replaced. [:'(]
