I hear "Thunderstruck" emanating from the Kickr room.

The way I read it, the ones costing $1.6M were from a run of 7 cars built to replicate a track racing model. The Jaguar website says they haven't started the E-type yet but information is sketchy.

I completed this build yesterday. It's mostly parts I already had from when I upgraded my Intense Primer to Deore XT.

I'm finding out that may or may not be true. I need to examine my priorities. Life is giving me lemons and I don't like lemonade. Maybe I'm having a mid life crisis. I think the only thing to do is buy a corvette.
not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

That's one of my favorites on the trainer, too.
Today was Metallica, though. I was feeling pretty okay through the warm-up, when my Gamin piped up and said that my Performance Condition was at -9 That got a bark of a laugh out of me and made it all the more fun to show that cycling computer who's boss.

A C8 is almost as cool as a Neil Pryde bicycle cycle. Nothing wrong with stomping on the loud pedal, and going for a ride.

I was lucky enough to avoid the trainer today. Lately I’m on a strange metal kick. Yesterday was these guys. Forgot how great this album is

Ya know, Ford used to own Jaguar, and Ford used to rebadge Mazda trucks. Seems like a deal could be struck to bolt those bodies to some MX-5 chassis, for an everyman's c-type.

Hang in there. I've gone through similar stuff. Heart surgery, afib, ablations, blood thinner, pacemaker, lung diseases. I've got a garage full of racing bikes. I'm a lot slower, but it's still fun to ride.
