Hy Wout ,
thank you

Frank

But now I´m very angry , I´m searching wold wide since 5 month a good super charger for my JAG , I´m searching the last model from Eaton M 112 the 5. generations for 4.2 liters, I´m find only scrap metall, seller who will not send picture from inside , inside is the problem with the wheels, other tells they can not open , only two left hands, or good pictures , you must send the money by bank not with paypal and and and ...... now I have buy one good charger , by an english dealer , the 10 pictures are good , but when the charger arrived by me , at fist the cover from the head is missing and inside the damaged not very much , but ist not like the pictures , my problem , I would send the charger to a company in England who tuned the chargers , so he must in good conditions at first.
The dealer means, send back and you get the money back , it´s not my idea, the time is running I need a other good part I have write him , not money back , I must wait now what happend , the car ist standing now one year with the charger problems I would drive in this year not the next

I don´t know I will pay money for a good part and become only fake offers or ****

Great garage/office Frank.
Is a business operated out of the space or is this just a 'hobby' garage and home office?
Many great ideas and thanks for sharing.

the office is in the moment my company office , but my wife and I have a second office at home , the garage in my company is more for my private cars , the other car must parking outside , I hope the next years I only deal with cars I like and than the Garage is for business, thats the idea.

And on the wall is going on

When we have too much time , I have a new idea , a friend build a Mazda MX8 with an V 8 engine Kit from USA , but I don´t like the cars from the design , so come my idea too build a MX 5 with a new option, a russian designer have build a speedster, but in germany it doesn´t go to drive legal on the street , so I must make it legal for germany .
This is my idea

only the wheels are the problems , in germany all things are tested by goverment , have you no papers from testing, it is not aloud to drive on the street , so we must take other wheel

Frank—

I just finished reading your thread—you have great ideas for both cars and your office—and the energy and drive to accomplish them. Thanks for sharing your accomplishments!

I’m glad you finally found a replacement Kompressor for your XKR. I hope it works out for you. I love the XKE model you made and the display case is fantastic. The only issue is I don’t think you put enough oil on the floor under the engine area! :D

I fully understand and agree with your feelings about not driving cars that you see on every corner. Here are my two head-turners: I bought the Toyota Supra new in 1989.

Thanks again for your inspirational thread. I look forward to seeing your next accomplishments!
