RE: Intro, manual tranny for XJ40 & Jaguar Pride...

[Gunnar Helliesen <gunnar@bitcon.no>]

I think I need to clarify two points here:

I meant ponytail, not pigtail. Guess I was tired when I wrote my
posting, it was funny though! ;-)

NO, I did not buy an XJ220! I drooled over it but couldn't afford one in
a million years. I bought an '86 Series III Sovereign.
