Kitty and I went out with her topless for the first time. She runs so smooth and quiet you would think she was electric. I bought a homelink module off of ebay to replace the one that didn't work so now I'm down to just the passenger headrest not working. She handles like a dream with the new Michelins that came with her. Sound system sounds great, top works flawlessly. The interior looks incredible after Erwin Schwarz in STL cleaned it as part of their routine service. I will no doubtedly get a speeding ticket one day.... glad I didn't get an XKR.....

 

Here she is in the sun with her wind screen installed......

 

looks like it was a great day for a drive!!! Enjoy - happy motoring.

 

Completely agree. I'm not glad about passing on an XKR, but it is probably for the best in my case. SWMBO is still looking for a reason to say I told you to slow down and a speeding ticket would likely do it.

Your car looks great! Enjoy.

p.s. repost the pictures in the sticky set up for that purpose. More people will see them.

 

enjoy, here the bad weather never seems to end. Rain all weekend and another three days of rain in the forcast for the next weekend.

 

Arrrrrgghhhh....!!!! I was starting to wonder if I would ever get a chance to drive it with the top down before I passed..........

 

Beautiful car.. classic color combo. Love it! And those Apollo wheels. I've been looking for a set for mine for several months with no luck. Jealous!!

 

01Silverstone - there is a set on ebay across the pond w tires

 

Thanks, I've actually spoken with him. We ran into problems with shipping. I got 4 different quotes, none of them under $1000.

 

Beautiful kitty! Love the color.

 

Your car looks great but I also noticed you have a windscreen installed. This might have been previously discussed but I am curious if you are please with it?

 

Well I think it makes a little difference but it was a really windy day and I only drove it about 50 miles with the screen on. Mine came with the wind screen, the Jag trunk tray and the rear boot or cover for the top. I'll have to update you on weather it would be worth it to buy one.

Wojo

 

Yes, please do! I've always wondered if they really help or not. What's the trunk tray like? I tend to get obsessed with trying to find the OEM accessories for my car...

Also, I see you're from the great state (depending on who you ask) of Illinois! Always nice to see another member. Google says I'm about 5 hours north of you, otherwise I'd suggest we meet for coffee or something; I'd love to see your Apollo wheels in person. Anyway.. enjoy your cat!

 

Rawr! Car looks great- congratulations.

We should start a flat cap and aviator sunglasses club. It's only proper.

 

That's funny. I have the exact same car right down to the wind screen. BRG,cashmere,apollos.

 

Wojo,
It looks great. We've had great convertible weather in STL this summer except for the past week with the high temps and humidity, so let's hope the cooler summer weather returns soon.
BTW, would you recommend Erwin Schwartz for service? I like fairly close to his facility, but have not heard anything good or bad about their service/costs.

 

FWIW, I have a windscreen for mine and can't really tell a difference except for reduced rear visibility and stuff on the rear seat doesn't blow out.

 

I can tell the difference on the highway. Worth the price,no.

 

Nice ride!
