 Another project on the XJS?


It wasn't always a garage queen.

The radio in the car needs a security code to function again. 

I've poured through my forum for suggestions and "universal" codes. Nothing worked.

So I decided to pull the radio and see if the code had been written on the radio chassis. 

It was actually much easier than I thought that it would be. 

Unfortunately it wasn't there. I'd looked in the glove box, under the hood and in the trunk.

 Things don't just stand still.


photo was taken at the Luther Burbank Gardens in Santa Rosa.

I have decided to put my XJ6 front and center. I plan on driving it locally as a daily, while I try to find a way forward. It's currently sitting at 160,400 miles. How long will it take me to reach 161,000?

 I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree.


That's where the branch snapped off.

Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree. 

Apologies to Joyce Kilmer.

 I wasn't done with the '07 Mustang yet. There were still a few things that I wanted to have done. 


What's hiding under that car cover?


Next up was an oil change.
