New to the forum, but I have had the car since summer 13. It's a 91 xjs convertible (classic collection). Black with black top and a tan interior. About 80k miles now but less when I got it. Completely stock but I can't promise it will stay that way. I LOVE this car. Bought to quench my regret for selling an Alfa Spider a few years ago, but this is way better than the Alfa. I'll be sorting as I go. This car was ignored for a decade. Pirellis were 12 years old when I got it. Runs great and gets lots of looks!

 

Forgot to add... my other vehicles are a 13 Mini and a 68 International Harvester 4x4 stepside pickup that's Dukes of Hazzard orange!

Welcome to the forms!

Starke Florida, eh? One of the most famous "speed trap" town in the state!

I used to travel through Starke on my way to Jacksonville and the AAA had signs on the roadside before you go to the city limits about the "speed trap ahead."

As a resident there, do you think it is about safety as the police say, or revenue as most of us think?

Also, years ago I restored a 1976 and 1978 International Scout, great vehicles!

Welcome and watch your six, lol!

Welcome to the forum

 

Yep. They do write tickets here! In 2 of our county's towns, people speed pretty bad generating high AAA statistics. But the other town just got hammered for extending their city limits to reach the main highway, expressly to write tickets. Their police dept was disbanded.

I want a Scout too, but can't justify the accumulation of vehicles. All IH trucks are commercial grade solid and live long. Around Starke, it's just as lustworthy as the Jag!

 

In all fairness to the motorists driving through Starke, it is a very wide 4 lane main highway with a 30 MPH speed limit. Is the speed limit artificially low for safety or income? I don't know, but my little town of 4500 has a two lane road with one traffic light and the speed limit is 45.

Yes, the nearby Waldo police department was disbanded due to their predatory ticket writing. They just sold all of their 5 police cars to another jurisdiction for $38,000.

Scouts are great vehicles! There is one on the side of the road near me that has been sitting there for month or so looking forlorn. It can't follow me home though, my extra garage space is reserved for something red with a horse on the front!
