Nice. Now who was it who said that cars don't attract hot women?

A friend of mine worked for Apple at the time they had the BHA (ButtHead Astronomer) project. That's how I heard the story. I think he also tried to sue over the BHA name but that would have meant that "Butthead Astronomer" uniquely referred to Sagan. All second- and third-hand info but it makes an amusing story.

I liked his show when I was younger and still have his book, but my favorite modern astronomer has got to be Cliff Stoll. He's more famous for his non-astronomy work, but I suppose that's the breaks.

This is so awesome! Jaguar should take hint and make this an option!!
w0w sets off the interior so nicely!

jimbobble,
That's one nice wheel. Any chance you caught the name of the Dubai craftsman?

I have the contact of the contact. And it's my understanding that there is still potentially one here in Toronto in red stitching. I believe he was charging near or around $2000 USD.

I passed on it. Couldn't quite justify the spend.

Yikes. I'd rather spend that money on headers and and an oversized inter-cooler.

Default First time poster.

First time poster so thought I'd share my F-Type story. My father was British and worked for 50 years always wanting a Jag. So 3 years ago when he retired he bought a 2011 XF Portfolio. I drove him to the dealer to pick it up. A few months later I borrowed the car and had the Leaper installed for a Father's day present cause he said a Jag isn't a Jag without the Leaper. I fell in love with the F-Type when it came out in 2014 and we talked about having Father and Son Jags together. I used to live in Dubai and was going to purchase one over there, but sadly both my folks got sick toward the end of 2014 and I decided to return home to the states. Told my dad I'll still get the F-Type, just might take a little longer. Well sadly my father passed away June 3, 2016, but he made my 2016 F-Type V6S in Italian Racing Red with a 6MT happen a little bit sooner then I'd imagine. Love this car and it's my place I can go to 'hangout' with my Dad. I know he's smiling down on me. The license plate is in reference to were he is from,
Stoke-on-Trent, England.

What a great and touching story. I suspect you are exactly right, your dad is smiling and probably laughing like a schoolboy when you hit the throttle.

Figured. I'm about 60-90 minutes west of you. Spent some of my formative years planning for emergencies at our state's nuc plants when I worked at the state emergency management office.
