So I have to ask what the heck is happening to the OJOA membership. The last time I was a member and Jeff Booth was the President. He had managed to get the membership up to a figure of around 340…Continue

Hi I was here for a while last year and when I left in September 2011 I had just lost my gorgeous 1992 Limited edition V-12 VDP Black Cherry to a distracted woman driver. The Insurance Company did…Continue

British Car Day - Bronte Creek Provincial Park at Bronte Creek Provincial Park
September 16, 2012 all day
British Car Day is hosted annually by the Toronto Triumph Club, on the third Sunday of September. Since its inaugural event in 1984, it has grown in leaps and bounds, and now draws over 1000 British cars and 8,000 spectators, with room to grow even bigger. The event is the largest, one-day, all-British car event in North America, with visitors from throughout the northeast United States, the Maritime provinces, Quebec, and Manitoba. We have even had visitors from Alberta, Texas, the UK, and New…See More

The works department

Seems rather like an exaggerated claim after spending up to three months each time actually detailing a V-12 engine but this is my detailed XJ8 engine. Took a whole two hours to do and I felt exhausted afterwards from all the work

This is the car I purchased to replace the V-12 Black Cherry I lost last year. Fully loaded 2005 XJ8 VDP. I have just spent the past four months going over everything on this car making sure it is both cosmetically as well and mechanically…"

Here you go the finished wheel. The shop that matched the paint for me did a terrific job of matching the paint for me. This wheel looks absolutely the same as all the others.

Bob Higgs commented on Bob Higgs's blog post Concours d'Elegance Obsession"Graeme. I probably should but I did keep the heat localised and too a minimum. (I was terrified of burning holes) anyway I am not going to have it done as it is just a spare wheel and will not be used very much hopefully.
Rob. No I had…"

So It was a nice day today with temps around 18C so I grabbed the opportunity to get the car off the hoist to outside to get a bit of sun tan while working on it. I also took the opportunity to get some photo's which I though might interest you. Shows clearly the progress I have made so far. I have strated off with a picture of my old Black Cherry which this latest car replaced.…

Concours and dark coloured cars.
I am convinced there has to be a sadistic side to me for wanting to continue to embark on the near impossible task of preparing a dark coloured car for Concours d’Elegance events. No matter how carefully you work on them they all tend to show every minute mark or blemish that on any other colour would never be seen.
I prepared two Canadian Limited edition V-12 VDP’s in a row that were Black Cherry coloured and they were the most…
