Welcome to CHR! Yeah, I was going to say you missed the E-Type Jag in the rundown of the stable... Really like the '66 - going to have to wait for those wide, wide whites on the '67 to grow on me, but it's a very cool drop-top. Hope you stick around.

Thanks! Yeah it's a 1969 XKE with a 4.2 DOHC straight six and a 4 speed with 68,000 original miles, needs some work yet. It's not even mine but I get stuck working on it and I absolutely hate working on it.

Those wide whites are okay for now, not really for me either. They are bias-plys and they were on there when I got it. I'm debating getting a set of magnum 500's for it with repro bias plys, or sticking with the black steel wheels with some black wall tires.

I plan on sticking around for a while, as long as I remember to check in
