Well we work on a lot, and I mean a lot of old cars at our shop. We are real close to Reynold's Plantation and Lake Oconee, so there are lots of rich geezers around. We just had a 68' Shelby GT500 Mustang at our shop, and many more rare cars. But I thought I would start takin pics of them and sharing with you guys! So hope you enjoy this one, it's a 1970 Jaguar XKE 4.2 E - Series. It has a 4.2 inline six in it. Hope you enjoy! :goodjob:

My Mom wants an XKE badly. She's been talking about it more lately. She wants a British racing green one.

Bad ass ride. Later, QD.

Yeah I don't know what real classic cars are, I just work on tons of classic cars all the time. Just because I don't like this one doesn't say anything about what I know. I don't like a lot of Honda's too!

one time i went to work at Mercer Reynolds house/garage. My boss said be very careful he has a few vintage cars in the garage.. when i got there he had a new mini cooper and two golf carts... such a let down :(

Me and my dad have gone out to Reynolds to put car lifts up in some of our customers garages, so they can store more cars. And we have seen some unreal stuff down there, and we work on just about all of the classic cars from the lake. We always have a classic in our shop, like right now we have 4 of them. I wish I could post up more pics of all the cars we have worked on!

Im gonna have to disagree and throw the word Most

Sorry it's the truth, most of the people that are in the tuner scene have no grasp of what makes a car great.

Well I don't fall into the Most category.

Enzo Ferrari supposedly said "It's the most beautiful car ever made" upon the E-type debut in 1961. :ninja:

Sorry it's the truth, most of the people that are in the tuner scene have no grasp of what makes a car great.That was the idea behind my vintage tuning site, the cars people are modding today weren't just created overnight...kind of a "then and now" approach with years of R&D, technology, and evolution leading up to the creation of each model that would educate people on the routes of their cars.
