And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That word. The irony. Using the word "stunning" in the sentence with a British automobile electrical system. Rip out the engine, trans and electrics. Replace with a engine/trans from a Vette along with a completely re wired electrical system. Now Perfect!
The only car I have ever purchased brand new... xj12c also known as the worlds fastest vinyl roof,,, traded a 70 e convertible for it... only problem I had with it was the transmission which was a gm turbo 400 ....... word of warning when you modify the engine for over 400hp those front a pillars tend to crack.... and like most euro cars there is a strong tendency to rust...... still looking for one to restro mod...... always wanted to put a zr1 engine and tranny in one....
Rust in peace! Beautiful money pits. unreliable engines, dodgy electrics, built by union labour in 1970s England..... will bankrupt you, hate you, never have your back, but still very pretty, and sound awesome, six or 12 both sound good, 12 just beggars you slightly quicker, broken header tanks, warped heads, joy!
Jaguar XJC, stunning.
