Oh, I can wait. Two years will slip by in no time. And unless you get overcome with a next-car moment, I figure you'll have these before me.

It's a perfect plan.

I'm onto your plan Rochester.

My plan:

2027: consider motor mounts

2033: research motor mounts

2035: realize I am the only person left on earth without a hybrid or EV and finally trade the G for something else

(Yeah right! Knowing me, I'll probably have these installed next year)

Snowtires notwithstanding, I haven't driven my car in two weeks. God damn winter.

Yesterday I spent about an hour reasearching shift *****, thinking I might like something new. But I've still not found anything more appealing to me than my teardrop shaped titanium ****. (sigh)

There are not too many good options for our cars in my opinion. Why do you want to change and what has made your short list so far?

Rochester

iTrader: (9)

Because it's relatively cheap to do, requires zero effort now that I'm already there, and I think it could be fun to have options to change things up now and then.

However, I have none on my short list. I did find this website of interesting stuff yesterday.

And now we're having this discussion in both our progress threads, LOL.

Just brainstorming... imagine this piston **** wrapped in the same perforated leather I'm using for the boot, which is from Redline Goods. Maybe half less height on the underside shaft, though.

I had a piston shifter from wc lathe works wrapped in leather. The leather moved since it was just wrapped around and stitched tight, I hated it.

I've also been thinking about a new **** but there don't seem to be many options. Come up with something cool so I can copy it

Rochester, are you thinking of just a shift **** and the lower shaft or are you considering their trim plate too? I don't know that the trim plate would fit all that well.

I think your interior would look good with one of the round shift ***** since most of the shapes in our interior have soft rounded edges. Tough to say though as that is personal preference for everyone.

Just the ****. And just thinking out loud. Not an actual project.

That piston **** looks really nice. I'm very partial to leather wrapped metal ***** especially since the **** can me made out of stainless steel instead of aluminum or titanium, which gives the **** a nice weighted feeling. I'm actually running a leather wrapped Rob **** RK6A-L from UUC Motorwerks in my Porsche and love it.

Why has no one mentioned the new Jag they are having celebrities drive on The Grand Tour? I figured Rochester would be all about it.
Thinking about it now, I would love to see him cringe when they drive it through the gravel.

Haha! That is a great point. I never even thought about Rochester's reaction to that. It's probably a touchy subject for him...

Didn't you notice that's the new 2.0T? Pretty car, sure, but don't care.

That powertrain doesn't belong in that car, IMO.

Man, if only I still had access to a lathe... the custom parts I could make... I miss the good old days Maybe Ill drop a few thousand and get an old used lathe once my garage is built at the cottage. Maybe make you guys some custom stuff haha. Start a side business.

But really im just checking this thread to see if I can steal any more awesome ideas from John haha.

Agreed. I guess I never really paid much attention to that car as it seemed very quiet. All the fun Jaguars seem to make lots of obnoxious noises. Which one are you pining over- R-Dynamic, 400 Sport?
