OK, OK, you guys got me feeling so guilty that I made up an excuse for an
errand and ran up to Palo Alto in the afternoon. Saw one Jensen-Healey on
the way. Risked overheating by "showing the colors" on University Avenue
downtown (you locals will know what I mean). One XJS, one XK8, and one
white RBB (all parked), and a few Range Rovers. Tried my best to get a
reaction by tearing through the gears and giving everyone the benefit of
what to me is a perfectly ripping exhaust note, but you know how blase
they are in the "center of the universe"... You'll be glad to know I
tried but failed to scrub off my greasy fingerprints on the wings last
weekend -- I think they've soaked in. Nice day, all in all.
I promise I'll get out tomorrow as well, OK?

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
