    How do you find the time?
    You are doing all this work on your XJS and write the majority of the posts on this forum.

    Hello Tony,
    it's very impressive the amount of work that you are undertaking yourself. You must really love that car to spend such time and effort.
    Keep up the good work, Lee.
