last laps in the XJR15

She is sold and gone !!! This was a great car to race but a pain to work on!!!
After siiting here for many years, she left the ranch for AZ and the new owner will driver her more than I did- I hope-
Enjoy the last pics from yesterday at Mead raceway

Sure is empty over there.

 

o'man Roland, I didn't know you owned one of these ?!?!?!?! One of my favorite cars on looks alone (I do have a 1/8 scale model of the car).

I saw Top Gear review on this car, saying it was one of the worst handling cars (and loudest) ever - what was your impression? Or I could find out at Scuderia Rampage.

 

This was the best chassis on a race car withthe best sound from the v12 Jag. The power was on nthe low side and the cockpit access the worse in the world.
Maintenance wasn't hard except that it took 1 hour to remove the rear section and after that you didn't have yet access to the engine !!!!
Good looking but not" practical" at all

I didn't know you were thinking of getting rid of it. So any plans for a replacement?

 

Yes, it did sound good from what little I heard it.

Hey Roland maybe you should have dropped that V12 into my car. What do you think?

 

I was really looking forward to checking that out whenever I got a chance to get to the ranch!!

Oh well, We will just have to take the LM again!!!

I am going to try to work the May 6-9th track event into my calander, but who knows what I will be doing????

 

What cars do you own?! lol you have a magnificent F40 LM, you had that Jag

 

Anthony, the V12 would help your car to make the hill to the ranch !!!! hahaha!!
Today, I'll pick a 365GTC and drive that car to San Diego and there, I will stay in Palm Spring with a Murcie convertible for some R & R...I'm watching the weather to decide when to leave.
Right now, I'm happy with the TR and the LM, the P.race car GT2 is still for sale.To many events this year and no enough time to get some other wheels.

That was one of the most amazing cars I have seen in person. Also the most difficult one to get into. She did sound good from the cockpit though.
