It REALLY sucks when you love a car, but are held hostage by it.. That was my first TR7.. as I always say, "It had more tow miles on it than driven miles"... but, still I loved the TR7's and got a much better built Spider model.. I've done some major repairs on her in 20 years, but she's still in the garage and still drives soooooo awesome... Right now she needs a freon charge, tho.. about every 4 years the freon leaks out..
but, anyways, sorry to hear about the Jag.. they'll probably bury me in my '7.. one way or another..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
