Certainly cannot argue with that!

Money? Guess in some ways it's all relative. I enjoyed watching two guys play "banks" pool
last night. 11 ball banks...first guy to win 6 games pocketed $6,000. Tight match-up, ended up 6-5.

I'd never play for money or become a stake horse...but bless those who do.

Ditto that Jag...I have no desire to own one, or ever have another collector car...but bless those who do.

It all adds to the spice of life...

Hey Fred, I know from experience that they made 12 Aluminum Lightweight Coupes and also a Low Drag Coupe, these where made with stressed aluminum skins for rigidity the "lightweight E-Type was made in 1963 and 1964 and the Low Drag Coupe was made in 1962. I am only familiar with these particular cars as I was fortunate enough to be the steward of one for four years and oversaw it's restoration.
