A A Hi guys,
A A Some of you may recall that Sigbjorn Eskeland from Norway
announced he
A A would be taking a road trip down the East coast and was looking
for
A A people to meet up with along the way.A I happened to have an
Orlando
A A layover tonight, and he was able to arrange it so that he was
in this
A A area at the same time.
A A Rather boldly, he bought a beater Jaguar E-type coupe on E-bay
awhile
A A back, and he flew over in November to spiff it up a bit before
taking
A A this springtime road trip with one of his buddies.A They've
had all
A A sorts of adventures along the way, with the car seeking to
dismantle
A A itself in various ways.A He had to remove the starter (which
is
A A impossible to access) and rebuild it in a parking lot, they
A A reupholstered the seats in the parking lot of the Museum of
Natural
A A History in New York City, and they sizzled a distributor in a
small
A A town a few days ago.A Fortunately Summit had a modern
electronic
A A distributor for an E-type in stock; they ordered at 7 p.m. and
it was
A A delivered at 10 a.m. th next morning.
A A And so on and so forth.A It's a neat car--it has a freshly
rebuilt
A A later XJS engine, big brakes, and Corvette steel 16-inch
wheels.
A A The three of us enjoyed a lengthy dinner in an Italian
restaurant,
A A while they regaled me with tales of their adventures so far.A
After
A A another day or two here, they will be heading down to Key West
as their
A A road trip continues.
A A I have to say, it's pretty bold to take off on such an
undertaking in a
A A dodgy E-type, rather than a simple (and simple-to-maintain)
A A contemporary American car.A But it goes really well (he let me
drive
A A it), makes a glorious noise, and is supremely comfortable.
A A Great times!
A A Mike
