Way to go Jim. At least as far as that F-word thing is concerned. There
was sure a lotta hype about it...but I found it to be a little amusing,
as, apparently did you, that a race-bred V12 with hairdryers and fuel
only squeaked by a big ol billboard of a pickup truck...and still got
creamed by a roadster than only ran to the 4 mile. But, OMIGOD! did it
ever sound good!!! Two runs. We don't need no steekin shakedown runs.
We'll just go out and be the fastest roadster ever.
Ok. Now we got posts.
