LOL! Yep, it is hard to get the smoke back in after it comes out.

We found it, just takes time. It also helps to think like an overpaid, worthless, UAW assembly line worker at beer thirty. These wires arent reaching... Hell, just yank on 'em Bob, Thats what I do!
 
That is awesome! I notice it says Lucas on it... Foriegn car mechanics swear that Lucas was the Anti Christ. My Grand Daddy was a aircraft mechanic in WW2 and he said the Lucas Electronics almost cost Britian the war before we got geared up to step in and help them out. If it was raining, nothing would run.:shaking:
 
My wife is a Brit that has lived here since the early 80's. I rag on England all the time and she gets soooo mad!:mad: Name a male pop singer or actor from England that is straight. Hard to do isnt it? :lol:
 
Panteras are the sexiest car ever built. Classic lines. Just could'nt deal with thier choice of engines!:shaking:
 
That's not a job. That's a privilege.
yea ill keep that in mind next week when i install a new ac system that the last owner had removed.
that will require nearly gutting the interier and removing the firewall. worst part is the engine compartment has show quality paint and i have to crawl all over it.
oh and if you ever dreamed of getting to drive one IT SUCKS!!!!
i have to remove my left shoe to get my foot to the gas pedal that's offset under the center of the dash.:shaking:

I've always liked them. Saw this one about 2 months ago.

At 6'5", taking off my shoe probably wouldn't help.I have a hard time in a VW Scirocco. I'd damn sure try, though! :driver:
 
I work at a dealership located between Scott Jaguar and Foreign Cars Italia. (Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porches, etc...). Micheal Jordan and Steve Smith are in and out pretty often trading cars or getting service. If they only knew what a bunch of over priced junk they were driving!:lol: Jag wont survive much longer, they are on their last leg. Ford got tired of pouring cash into them and sold them to an Indian investment group. They will be building surrys soon. I hate that for Scotty, he is a great guy that drag races with us and runs a 24 hours of lemons car. You would never know that he owned a Jag dealership if you met him in the pits.
