- Have you driven the XJ12 or XJS? "smoothness and chic" are what it's
- all about. Still goes fast too. Drive the Chev then 12 back to back,
- specifications tell only 1/4 the story.
-
- I have the XK 4.2 6 cylinder only because I am "poor" and can't afford to
- run the 12 :-)

- Richard Lindsay is around here somewhere...now he really is into "self
- flagelation" he has a couple of V12's there somewhere.

- Regards Scott.
