Every time I see Carl's name I remember the story about when Apple used his name as the code word for a new product and he sued them. They changed the name of the product to something like "butt-headed astronomer" in spite and it stuck. Still gives me a chuckle.

I liked his show when I was younger and still have his book, but my favorite modern astronomer has got to be Cliff Stoll. He's more famous for his non-astronomy work, but I suppose that's the breaks.

I have the contact of the contact. And it's my understanding that there is still potentially one here in Toronto in red stitching. I believe he was charging near or around $2000 USD.
I passed on it. Couldn't quite justify the spend.

Yikes. I'd rather spend that money on headers and and an oversized inter-cooler.

First time poster.
First time poster so thought I'd share my F-Type story. My father was British and worked for 50 years always wanting a Jag. So 3 years ago when he retired he bought a 2011 XF Portfolio. I drove him to the dealer to pick it up. A few months later I borrowed the car and had the Leaper installed for a Father's day present cause he said a Jag isn't a Jag without the Leaper. I fell in love with the F-Type when it came out in 2014 and we talked about having Father and Son Jags together. I used to live in Dubai and was going to purchase one over there, but sadly both my folks got sick toward the end of 2014 and I decided to return home to the states. Told my dad I'll still get the F-Type, just might take a little longer. Well sadly my father passed away June 3, 2016, but he made my 2016 F-Type V6S in Italian Racing Red with a 6MT happen a little bit sooner then I'd imagine. Love this car and it's my place I can go to 'hangout' with my Dad. I know he's smiling down on me. The license plate is in reference to were he is from,
Stoke-on-Trent, England.

Figured. I'm about 60-90 minutes west of you. Spent some of my formative years planning for emergencies at our state's nuc plants when I worked at the state emergency management office.
