Thanks Steve, this helps. Have you performed mods on that beautiful 04 XKR ragtop?

A bit O/T but are you OK after Hurricane Sandy? I saw your location as being in NY so I was a bit concerned.

Thanks carelm. I live a few counties (70 miles) above NYC but work 45 miles south (30 miles) from NYC. High winds, some rain, a few trees down, but no loss of electric, phone, and cable. Some of my patients had trees crash onto their houses causing them to shack up in hotels or homes of in-laws and friends. Fairfax Virginia? Is this central or coastal. Hope you and family are ok too.

I came out of it OK. In my area we just some heavy rain and wind, but nothing that more serious than the usual thunderstorm. The derecho we got in July did more damage. In that one, my office was out of power for three days.

Glad you're OK after the storm (maybe my sig isn't very appropriate here!)
No, the thing goes quite fast enough as it is, and thanks for the compliment.
Even the French have to admit 'C'est une très belle voiture' and ask (like little children) if they can sit in it!

Steve, we're so different. My problem is "Not leaving it alone". LOL.
