I dunno, it makes it look quite nondescript, as if it was wearing a Ford Sierra mask.

That being said, this one is perfect moody decor for some emo film student.

Same really; to be fair, this isn't exactly one of their more successful designs. It looks like a Renault Vel Satis that slid under a large truck.

Oh boy, your round 1 pick has sent me on a tangent: episodes starting with the letters of "the" but French, so "Le-":
Lethe (DIS)
Learning Curve (VOY)
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (TOS)
Legacy (TNG)
Let Sleeping Borg Lie (PRO)

Oh wow, was that the one right across the street from campus? I remember having a very awkward date there in 2004, and I didn’t even go to Vandy; long story.

I remember visiting them when they landed in Fort Campbell, KY, due to weather that one time. Did you live in Nashville back then?

Having just sent an XJ to the mechanic on the back of a tow truck, I feel personally attacked.

I think they were OEM for that facelift with the extra side gill and the E46 M3-esque front bumper. www.autoweek.com/news/a207123...

I still can’t decide if those (and their coupe counterparts) are pretty or ungainly. Having its Jaguar XK contemporary certainly contaminates my perspective.

Do these actually require periodic rebuilds to be drivable like a race engine, or is it sitting around and neglected maintenance that forces them?

How much beefing up of the front suspension would that require?

I started gathering pictures of the Bristol 412 in an effort to reinforce my message, but at some point in the browsing process, I started to like it. What the hell, brain?

I just realized that's a P-47 Thunderbolt, aka "Viggen". I wonder if that's intentional.

I remember them being quite well-traveled in the Nashville mall I grew up in. Perhaps they do best in areas with little Italian diaspora presence.

You can still find good clean late examples with the 6.0 that has most of the fixes from the Ford era. Signed, the proprietor of a kitty shelter with three of the damn things under our roof.

Huh, my X300 just flashes everything on at once on startup. Can't tell if there was an actual change to the sequence or if mine is just wonky.
