The good news, as with everything, the market will turn around eventually as it always does. But for now, it's what we got!!
Very insightful and well said. I agree completely.

I have a good friend who is a big BMW guy. I am a huge Jag guy, but also happen to have a BMW.

We'll we've long had this rivaly about which drivers are bigger aholes BMW drivers or Jag drivers. He had sent me a picture from behind the wheel of his BMW one afternoon attempting to prove his point and I found it amusing so I screenshotted it.

It's pretty much self explanatory. Btw Is that anyone here's XK8 in Hopewell NJ?



Take care,

George

We were in Belgium earlier this week, sitting in a restaurant eating our meal when a coach unloaded its French occupants into the car park. My wife could see what was happening and I looked round to see a small crowd gathered round the car. The next day another English guy came up to speak to me. He said he used to have one like mine, but now has a 2010 model. He said he much preferred the styling of the older model.
