I think I joined here in 2014, so I’ve been here in one form or another for six whole years. That’s crazy, I was 15-16 when I joined, just a budding car enthusiast with not disposable income and a fetish for weird european cars.
In those six years I
Graduated highschool
W ent from knowing very little about how cars function to doing engine swaps in my garage. (I’ll finish it one day I promise)
Amassed more 80's jaguars than necessary
Blew up all my cars save for the mini
met another person from here and didn’t get murdered
and a bunch other stuff that I’m too lazy to write down so instead I’ll just finish this with pictures of the various cars i acquired over the years
the glow up.
I’m very close to finishing the jag, I just need to sit down and work on it which I haven’t been able to do for months now.
also a tree branch fell on it so that’s another thing I need to fix on it.
I still have this thing, I’d love to do a sloppy single turbo LS and turn it into a street shark but I should probably finish one of my other million projects first.
Still need to rebuild/find a replacement engine for this thing.
If oppo does a forever
sleep I will end up joining the new one of course but with as busy as my life has became in the last year or so I’m sure how active I’ll be.

I also started here a year ago as a HS student who didn't know much about how cars work but I have since graduated and know a good deal more. Glad to have you back with us for the end.

That XJ is visually perfect, I want its babies. I'm ready to offer 100 freshly minted internet points in exchange

Get that Jag running. What condition is the XJ6 in, hadn’t you given up on the XK motor because of stripped head studs?

I saw your XJ-S and wanted to attack it with a DA sander..
Is that wrong?

it. Not at all.

Well considering it’s been dead for more than a year now that’s
understandable
lol

But we need more Alfa updates! I need more Alfa updates!

Is your Alfa the one that ate a head gasket on track or the one that needs a new engine? Can’t remember.

You’re making me miss my R53... probably a bit of a stockholm syndrome type feeling though.
