You guys could be my kids. Wah, Wah, Wah.... turning 50. I've got corns older than you.

Enjoy. Wish I were 50 again.

----Yup,,,Dave can be just like the royal family. They have electrocuted their XKE. Of course, it's a travesty as the sound of an XKE at full RPM's is really something. My Father bought a new 65 XKE new. I drove it thru the 1st 200 or so miles. He said it was for me, but he lied. My younger brother by a different mother ended up with it after Dad's passing.....Bill S

Dave,


I am excited for you. I'm not sure you have learned though. Making announcements before you have the vehicle in your possession have ended badly before. I really looked forward to that judge build too..........


Jason

Ha! Right you're right Jason. So am I on the judge.:mad::mad::mad: Still bent out of shape about that. But when you get a deal sold by a pretty reputable people, you can post things a tad in advance knowing it's a done deal. Crap, maybe I should have waited:hmmm::crazy:

Well, whatever. It's getting loaded on a shipper shortly and I have the title in my hand so I'm pretty sure this one will stick!

So this thread has brought out some other midlife crisiseseses. :biggthumpup:

More details when it gets here. Bought another something yesterday too of the German persuasion, but it's not classic enough to post:grin:

Cheers
Dave

You're a glutton for punishment. I had a '68 Triumph Bonneville many years ago. That was enough Lucas electric for me.

Around here, you need a Harley for your manhood extension.
I was 48 when I bought this new, with a 38 yr old wife and a 4 yr old son...:hmmm:

I'm sure everything will be just fine. I feel like Jaguars are much like boats. The best day of your life are the day you get them and the day you sell them. The seller would be a fool to back out. In all seriousness, I'm stoked for your and you bought a good one. That wiring is a pain when cars sit unattended. As long as you use that baby, you will be fine.

----Loved my Triumph Bonnies! Had three 650's. Two were mostly stock and the third was a TT Special. Loved that one, although strictly speaking, it wasn't legal for the street, but I lived in the Ohio countryside and nobody was watching!!!.....Bill S

Interesting take on one of these

Dave, go ahead and share that other German buggy that you bought in here, I don't think it's a problem to post in a thread something that's not old muscle or classic and I'd love to see it. I'm just guessing but I imagine it's something from Stuttgart?

My brother-in-law just got a new 911 Carrera in GT Silver he ordered that's a beauty, and another friend ordered a new 911 Turbo that he finally got and then sold it a month after for $100K more than he paid. That market is nuts.

Yes it is, Mark. I found this 2018 and had to jump on it. It's an auto, unfortunately, but Kelly will probably be driving it the most and she hates the clutch.:3gears:

This should arrive right after the Shaguar. Now I just gotta build a bigger museum!:grin:

Cheers
Dave

PS: future plans for the the Shag to come...
