You know you are young in tooth or heart when on a friday night you drop the top, turn trac off, put it in sport mode and hunt down unsuspecting hotrodders. Its been my passion most friday nights. Lots of mustang GT's and LS powered TA and z28's under the belt. Including one BMW 335.
My next stop is a lower pulley and having my blower ported. I cant see spending 6000 for a twin screw system.....yet.

I think I was 16 when I got my hands on that brand new Black Shadow. What a machine, once you got it started. That part was a unique experience. I never went real fast on it by myself, but riding double with him I saw 105 mph on the dial with both of us sitting up and I think there was some left. He said when he layed down it would do 130 mph. I tried looking for one just before I decided to build my own airplane. Had to make the decision as to which one I wanted the most. The airplane one.
Take care of the Vincent.

It's funny how my shiny black Escalade becomes invisible to people when parked in the driveway next to the much older (and less costly) XK8. The kids would rather squeeze into the backseat of the Jag then ride in the Escalade. 14 years old and people think that it's brand new, truly timeless design.

It's one of the reasons I love the Jag. There is no car on the road that has its own true look the way the Jag does....and especially the XK8. And yes, even the newer, fancy toys seem to become invisible near the Jags.

I just got my fourth Jaguar convertible. This time I got an 2007 XK in Indigo Blue with Tan interior. Its one of the nicest looking cars on the road. In the past I have owned an 1995 XJS, 1997 XK8, 2001 XK8 and a 2002 XKR. And I am a young 62.
