I had some mechanical problems with my track car in the early days which, had they not been caught, might have been deadly on the track. My wake up call was the event where the rear drive shaft bolts came loose and I lost the connection of the CV joint to the rear hub. This … Continue reading
As they say, all good things must come to an end. And thus, the good thing that has been my multi-year restoration of a 1967 Jaguar E-Type has come to an end. As close to the end as these things can come. Like stepping half way to a wall, you really can never quite get … Continue reading

Things have progressed rather slowly but I have pretty much completed the engine rebuild. This rebuild is very similar to one that I did for the Orange Track Car (see articles here and here). Here are some facts about the rebuild (from the bottom up). I used an existing oil pan that I had that … Continue reading
John Lochemes of Memphis TN strolled into his local Jaguar dealership, Bluff City Jaguar, in June and bought himself one of the new Jaguar F-Types. John appreciates a powerful car so he bought the S model with the V8 supercharged engine. This engine boasts a power rating of 495 hp and a zero to sixty … Continue reading
