Haha . That’s another yeah right beer add joke ! 

Kiwi, I was apparently following one of your countrymen. His license plate read SORRYM8. It was on a Jag so my assumption is that it is a prepackaged apology for when the Jag quits running in the middle of an intersection

Haha ! Yes I would feel sorry driving a jag too !! 
we used to pull the engines out of them and replace them with small block Chevs to make them reliable !

back when I actually did this for a living we used to say that to be a Jag owner you needed to own two. one to drive while the other was in the shop

Yup, the Brits didn't build a car that didn't leak - especially in those days.

What got me about the jags was everyone I used to work on was covered in body filler !! And it look factory done !! Like they couldn’t make straight panels !!

Simple fact of the matter is that they couldn't make a straight anything. After the war England was a financial mess. The machinery they were using in their manufacturing was just about all pre WWll and worn out, could not keep close tolerances. 

A machine shop I used to use had a bumper sticker on its bulletin board. "The parts falling off this car are of the finest British craftsmanship." Sad but true.

I am sure the boss is still making me pay for buying the 57 !!

today she had me build her a flower stall !

what a waste of a whole day ! 
she is going have me stick it down the end of the drive to sell her flowers 🙄

 

or it might be pay back for all the beers music and bon fire on the beach New Year’s Eve

Mate - when a man has had too much wine, women and song. You know what you have to do, right?  It's time to give up song (at least when he's around the wine AND the women).

Let's face it, we suck at multitasking!

I call bullshit. Can you do all that and NOT spill your beer? If you spill it, then it's considered alcohol abuse mate!

The Indian and I are barely on speaking terms. I am nearing the end of the second month of trying to replace all the convertible top and window seals and felt. This blasted thing is starting to remind me of my ex wife and that is about the worst thing I can say. 

I ordered a complete seal kit for top and windows from Kanter, they don't manufacture but they gather all the parts from the various sources and put together a complete kit. The window felts/seals that go into the body at the base of the windows finally came a few days ago. I had to remove the door window to install the outer seal, a total bitch which is what reminded me of whatshername. Spent the better part of the day doing the drivers door and now I can't get the blasted window adjustment right. I was working on this stuff before I had a drivers license and now I can't get the damn window adjustment right. It was fine before I took it out and now I can't get it right. 

The problem with this thing is that the top and windows all have to match and the new seals are just a little off from the originals so everything has to be readjusted. There are about 400 different adjustment points on the top and windows and it seems like you adjust one and it affects 12 others. 

Saturday I plan to strip the interior so I can get to all the adjustments at the same time. Sunday should tell the story of the possibility of it getting struck by lightning.

The good part is that I am replacing 60 year old weather-strips and if I do get it right It should hold together for as long as I need it. Beyond that it becomes someone elses problem.

Don’t look at the whole job mate !

attack one window at a time until your 100% happy then move on .

and justA tell your self … I only have to do this once ! 
Works for me ! 

The guys recommended to me Steele rubber for my 64 

and I have no regrets ! Fit was bang on!

unlike some kits I used to buy from Danchucks for my tri fives
