Stephen,
Your new signature is intriguing.
Is there a story you can share about that?

Jensen first love: avatar and Signature

Post by VFK44 »

Adrian, I've moved your question to a new thread.

I just came across a lovely gif of a rotating Interceptor on the JIA site, and wanted to use it as my avatar. Having done so, I thought people might think I had "swapped sides" and bought a V8. Nothing wrong with that.

When I was a 7 or 8 year old I admired the silver FF owned by local business man Harry Chandler (HC 1000) Then a couple of years later I was at a car show when someone opened an Interceptor MK1 door, and as soon as I saw the cowls and the slim wooden wheel, I was in love and swore I'd own one, one day.

Later I realised you could have the same recipe of 4-seater coupe, with massive multi-cylinder engine and beautiful bodywork, but set in the 1950s era. I became a 541 convert. The two cars are very similar in approach, and share the same wheelbase.

So that's why my avatar and Signature have changed.
