I chose one who's father collects cars... makes it a heck of a lot easier when I decide to buy another one. She understands(doesn't complain about) my need / obsession for more cars.

It might seem like a great deal but sooner or later she is gonna insist on having an old XK 120 roadster.
Just what I need an old British Sports Car to drip oil in my Garage and take up about 50k that could be spent on something a helluva lot faster.
Although the other day we were at a cruise in and walked by a 69 L-78 Camaro and she said "What is this? I wouldn't mind if you had one of these."
So I am looking.

The Jag was very fast, if your only consideration was top end. I've heard they could do 140-150 mph. It might take a while to get there, but they weren't built for that purpose.
BTW, the reason the British don't manufacture computers is because they haven't figured out how to make them leak oil.

I was advised at a young age that when I decided to get married that, I should look for a beatiful blonde nymphomantiac that was deaf and blind and owned a liquor store.







Damm why didn't I heed that advise... ????

I am lucky, Karen the loves the hobby and loves driving the Berger and the Novas. She even goes fishing with me in the deep woods. I don't know if it can get much better, but I will talk to her about the liquor store.
