Interesting pic. Starts out superbly on the left and goes downhill from there.I was able to help a fellow motorist yesterday, He was driving a 1957 Jaguar Mark 1 on a color tour of Maine when the brake line of the right rear wheel cylinder pulled out, threads stripped on the wheel cylinder. We were actually able to find a cap that would work in my tool bag parts stash. (I knew I didn't clean it out this summer after working on out Mark 2's Brakes for a reason! ) filled it back up with fluid, bled the remaining 3 brakes, and he was back on the road.
Felt good to help another get moving again, and we met a great couple! and got a free Lobster Dinner!View attachment 801902
I didn't take many pictures of it, but here the Jag is joined by 2 even odder cars shortly after the repairs

Question about the Jag. A friend bought one that wasn't going for $100 - back in the mid 70's. Sunroof, wire wheels, altimeter etc.
Odd thing about it was that it had a V6 Jaguar engine in it but apparently that wasn't right as it should have had a straight six.
I know Jaguar made V6 engines but they were for an earlier 50's ? model from what I could find. The $100 Jag was very similar to
the one in this photo (even the colour) and never was fixed. Someone had buggered up the timing indicator for the camshaft and nobody seemed
to want to attempt to work it out. Years later I found out it could have been replaced with a Capri V6.
It was sold in the mid 90's for $1000. It would be interesting to know how the V6 ended up in it.
Is there a connection between the Crosley Moonbeam and the Jaguar engine discussion?Crosley Moonbeam airplane.
As for Jags there was a company in Paso Robles or Arroyo Grande or someplace on the Central Coast of CA that would yank the original V-12 and replace it with a GM V-8 and Borg Warner transmission. As a result used Jag V-12's were often offered for sale.

Same for the Jag in Australia. &0's types were refitted with local V8 engines.Crosley Moonbeam airplane.

My wife had a Stem cell procedure for her knees about 6 months ago, she is moving much better now, even though she still has quite a bit of pain remaining, I hope your wife does at least as well soon!My wife's recovery from knee surgery is on track. Yesterday she got the green light for partial weight bearing.
Pretty soon, things will be back to normal:My wife's recovery from knee surgery is on track. Yesterday she got the green light for partial weight bearing.
Which makes me wonder about people who want to use Jag V-12's in replica aircraft.Same for the Jag in Australia. &0's types were refitted with local V8 engines.
We had a similar issue with different numbers.Earlier this year I received a letter from the IRS saying I had failed to report a great deal of 1099 income on my 2022 taxes. I responded with a letter pointing out that they had made serious errors consisting of:
1. Basic arithmetic, e.g. $3200 income - $2300 cost basis does NOT equal $3200 in income but rather $900 in income.
2. Marked inability to read and comprehend a 1099 form, i.e. on the 1040 we report the data on the 1099 SUMMARY page, not the details of the dozens of individual transactions, gains and losses.
They sent a letter back saying they were going to have to "study the matter more" and if I did not hear from them in 90 days to feel free to make inquiries.
And TODAY I got a letter from the IRS saying my previous correspondence had resolved the matter and it was now closed!
Yayyy! But I am still going to wrote my Congressmen and tell them that the IRS spent that extra $80 Billion hiring a bunch of absolute dummies.
I reported their error in a refund I received 15 years ago. They sent me back to much money. I also showed them the math. I then received a second check. I went another letter and never heard back from them.We had a similar issue with different numbers.
What that you have there is a tax for the easily intimidated or those bad at math.
Back in 1984 the IRS informed me that I had done my taxes wrong and that they owed me a larger refund, and the refund check was larger. Then a few months later I got another letter from the IRS saying that I had done my taxes right and they had done it wrong and they wanted the extra money to be paid back PLUS PENALTY AND INTEREST.I reported their error in a refund I received 15 years ago.
