I know that feeling Steve, I had a slamming 69' VW bug w/2110cc, 10 second 1/4 miler. I on the other hand would love eating up big V8 muscle cars and took every opportunity to do so.

I wondered how long you could hold it in, Steve ! Beautiful machine! I had the pleasure of seeing the car close up the day Steve bought it. And, by the way, you looked great driving it down Fernwood Road. Anna and I saw you from the Fernwood Inn pub window ! It suits you to a T! Bobbie will look great in it too. Welcome back to the club!

Nice ride, Steve. Good luck getting the right license plate. I suspect most variations of "Wizard" are taken but who knows?

Like many Jaguar cars the front bonnet looks like an aircraft carrier flight deck from the driver's position.
Heh, both my grandfather and my father had V-12 Jags, and "aircraft carrier" is exactly what I remember the hoods being like. They just seemed to go on forever. And the smell of the leather interior is one that I'll never forget.

Steve: Elegant ride. Congratulations. May you put a million miles on her. Now, you got me thinking about going to Kilt Kamp, too.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

What a beauty, Steve! Congratulations. It looks like it just rolled out of the showroom.

Good call on the vanity plates, hopefully your luck holds out for those too.
I thought about vanity plates, but sprnmkr is too long, I could do just SPORAN, but that doesn't really work.
BAGMAN would probably just get me pulled over as a very braggy bank robber
