Not a lot happening with the Jag herself just now after Thursday's trip to the college. I'm waiting for parts to arrive, have more to order and expect to have her in for the MOT re-test this coming Wednesday.
While she waits patiently I've been registering to as many X300 forums as I can find, and have joined the Jaguar Enthusiast's Club. I've also sorted insurance for the year and, thanks to the club membership, will only be paying around £200 for the year fully comp. That's cheaper than my wee Ford!
In another serendipitous development I've been taken on casually by a local classic car specialist, to work there on the days I'm not at college. Not only is it much needed income, but they work on Jags too so I'll be learning a whole lot relevant to my own one. It's a foot in the door doing what I want to do. Kinda odd to think that a year ago I had all these seemingly impossible dreams about clearing debt, becoming a mechanic, helping restore a steamship, buying and running a classic car, and ultimately working in a garage. The fact that they've all happened is welcome but still a wee bit surreal!
