Went riding with Scott who has my old '79 and on the way home while sitting at a light, guy and his wife pulls up beside me on a '79 Special!!! We pull over later and he lives in Yorba Linda too and just about 2 mi away.

I saw an XJ parked across the street from work and left notes on it about this site but never heard from the owner.Pat Kelly
