Also an ex-Shadow owner - albeit only briefly.

Why own one? Well if you dig the whole Britsh leather and walnut thing - that might be a sufficient reason. The smell of the interior is addictive - and hard to explain if you haven't experienced it.

Driving it is a bit like sailing. You tack to the left, and then to the right, and hope the car goes approximately where you want to end up. It's a very regal sort of transport. You don't really drive - you just sort of waft from place to place. If you're arrogant enough you might even imagine that this elevates you above the masses - who merely drive.

I wouldn't have another because of the headaches - but it certainly is a very unique automotive experience.
