my Black cat

 

Luca,
I read your driveexperience.it [translated by Google]
You have given your Black Cat great presence .
....Bellissimo!

 

I'm very pleased to hear this! thank you!!!

 

 

My wife's 2002 with 33K miles. She support my car addiction so she ought to have one of her own.

 

nice cat

 

Blue XKR Silverstone

 

Absolutely beautiful Mark99.

 

 

I do believe we have the same wheels!!

 

By the way, I chose mine because they were quite similar to the Arden wheels without the 1200.00 each cost! I believe I found mine on eBay for less than 700 for wheels AND tires!!

I had also used the Arden body kit from Mina Gallery so they seemed fitting!!

 

My 2001 XKR.

 

just put in new smoked side turn indicators and clear side markers...she looks super modern now, i am thrilled!

no more ugly orange, and it could not have been an easier, inexpensive upgrade.

side note: do NOT use gorilla glue when replacing the markers onto the fixtures. it will cause a cloudy white haze to cover the lens due to a chemical reaction...i have new clear lenses en route, but learned a lesson)

 

Are those aftermarket wheels or Jag? What size and brand (if aftermarket)?

 

Last year after a repaint and all wheels redone. I'm on my way from West Michigan to Chicago and exactly halfway is this landmark. I took a picture for when Coworkers asked me where I went for my trip:

 

Is it just me the appreciates the irony of an "adult superstore" with a sign outside saying "No Semi's??".......

Nice Cat by the way!!, although if mine was a convertible (and I love my coupe!) I would only ever take pictures of it with the top down! The convertible is distinctly OK with the top up and absolutely drop dead gorgeous with the top down...

 

One of the last outings in 2016 before poor fuel pick-up caused the engine to detonate at the end (150mph) of Goodwoods' Lavant straight.


Five of the 8 pistons melted badly holing top and sides. The heat escalation took only 10 seconds to cause this damage and wreck the engine.


A complete engine re-build now installed and the new project Whipple W175AX Supercharger is finally lowered into place.


Followed by the modified bonnet with air scoop for top loading to the mechanical throttle body and hand pressed louvres for additional cooling

 

Here are a few driveway shots:
