Sounds about right. Gee, it was just 19 months ago[1] when I was thinking
(more like dreaming) about getting my own Jag ... XJS of course, as I've
always been into cars for a touch of sportiness (the *look*, not so much
the performance - 0-60 in 5.4s Joe?!).

So while Joe's waving his around, I'll take this opportunity to flaunt what
I opted for instead of the XK8 (which isn't a true 4-seater, damnit!); a
Mercedes CLK 320 Cabriolet

(with Mercedes-blue and light grey leather)

Congrats Joe. Enjoy.
