Improving my Mustang's headlamps.






The easiest way to improve the lighting, besides polishing the existing head light lens, is to replace the original bulbs with higher output units. From what I've read, the brighter bulbs will not last as long as the original specification bulbs due to increased operating temperatures.

Road Adventures?

Sounds like good idea to me.


This an informal group that meets up to take scenic group drives.

Some are one day loops others are three day overnight trips. They even have an annual 10-12 day  long group tour.

Progress report: Mark VII.


As found after years of slumber.

Like many old car projects the time comes when you run into a brick wall. Most projects are not exactly easy, but sometimes you set yourself up for some real headaches.

It was even easier than I hoped it would be.

Anything would have to better than this.


First of all, a lot of the prep work that I had done wasn't necessary. There was no need for spring compressors, no need to disconnect sway bar links, and especially no need to disconnect the steering rack.

So whats going on with the XJS?


A seldom seen vantage point of the V12  caught with it's pants down.


Unfortunately not much. Does the term "Gumption Trap" ring a bell?

I've written a lot about my Explorer lately.



To be honest, after it was first recovered I felt like scrapping it. I was angry that it had been stolen and then I had to pay out a bunch of money to get it released from the yard. To be fair the local Police did telephone me when they found my truck. If I could nave gotten there in time I could have avoided the tow and storage fees. I tried but I couldn't get there before it was hooked up.

A lock and chain will only stop the honest people from stealing your motorcycle,


I used to keep a chain of this size on the front of my Harley.

The bigger the lock and chain, the more people you'll keep honest!
