Lasted very long, very reliable, not the best looking out there) 2000 Lexus RX300 (Love/Hate. First Lexus, but cloth?) 2000 Honda CR-V (Love! Easy to maintain and modify) 2001 Lexus RX300 Silversport (Love it. First hated the Silversport edition but it grew onto me eventually) 2003 Lexus GX470 (Love at first sight) 2006 Toyota 4Runner (Basic, but I love it) 2009 BMW 528i (FUN FUN FUN!! )

Oh and a huge list of american company cars starting with 74 Plymouth Duster I was in high school during the early 60's. I would have done anything to have a Jag XKE like you did. Remember Jan & Dean's tune "Dead Mans Curve"?
lenore Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Yea Paul, bought that thing for $3000 and then restored it...What a beautiful handling car...and quite fast for a twin cam, 6cylinder....The frame was very interesting, mono body and steel frame bolted to it for supporting the front end and engine...The worst thing was the brake system, had two masters cylinders and was a bear to bleed it. The Upper cam chain had to be adjusted every 5k miles....And in 1968 the SU carbs were replaced with Stromberg (really crappy carb) But boy, on a curve or straightaway that car could cruise...The unique thing about the jag was the inboard mounted disk brakes on the rear...They were mounted next to the differential...Loved that car, but was like putting your money on the edge of the Grand canyon and kicking it in....
