No, absolutely no trickery at all, as you now know.

Big, powerful GT cars walk the dog – that's always been the case, and there's nothing than can change it. Those of us who treasure them have never lost sight of this fact.

Well done!

And, hey, I'll go on from there, 'cause I've been there and done that with the original Euro-spec M6 back in the day. I know what it's like to lock into something this special.

In the mid-'70s, I was working in Amarillo, Texas. I'm originally from Denver and most of my family was up in Boulder at that time. I was able to roll out of work at 4 PM Friday and roll into Boulder at 10 PM in my Series 3 Jaguar XKE. I would spend the week-end having a good time in Boulder and then roll back down to Amarillo Sunday afternoon.

I regret nothing about owning that car; but, please, don't ask me about the downsides of owning a high-end motor vehicle when your'e at the mercy of dealers' service departments (nice as the people working there can be, and they always are and have been! ).
