Andy? Instead of trying to appear clever why not just put”

NASA produced a series of fantastic pictures which have been sold for many years in various sizes as prints, and I am sure that is one of them
Take a look at the Wikipedia link I posted - taken from Apollo 8 when it went on the reconnaissance mission to go to the moon and back ahead of the first landing.

My first vfr was an 800 pre vtec & l loved that until the reg rec & clocks did the usual honda thing, still ran a treat at 102,000 though (when bump started)

Easily fixed apparently

Reg rec easy, just replace it, clocks not so easy when they start to go batshit, its the pcb in the back that corrodes causing all sorts of odd things to happen, all sorts of ideas out there on what to do but in my experience any of the common fixes are only short term, I just replaced mine with a none corroded pcb in the end

Yesterday I bought a battered old XJS, this morning I sold it for a modest profit :D

Lovely things.

Ps you are not allowed to mention cars on here

I wouldn't say this one was lovely but it did run well which is one reason I bought it, the other is I already knew someone who has an immaculate one with a smoky engine ;)

I could have made quite a lot out of it if I could have been bothered, the interior was probably worth more than I paid but I knew my mate would buy it & I made a few quid for grabbing it & arranging transport so all is well

One of the enduring images of my life is seeing a gorgeous young lady driving across Blackheath in a gold XJS with the top down.:cool:

Strange thing is they weren't well,received when launched - the E Type was quite a hard act to follow - but they look great now. Shame they rusted so badly.

The XJS that is, not gorgeous young ladies.
