I agree with you El. Horsepower is just an addiction. Once you have it you gotta have more and more and more.

I once bought an old xj12. It was right hand drive, didn't run, but the body/interior was decent. Can't exactly remember the year, but I know I paid $300 for it. Finally got it to run. I just remember all the crap I had to make for the engine. Previous owner had taken it apart to try to fix it himself, so along with a box of "goodies" was a whole bunch of broken bolts, vacuum hoses, wiring he'd cut with a pair of side cuts etc. Then I found out the transmission was junk. Wouldn't go backwards. Direct clutch sun gear was completely broken out of the drum (a coat hanger and a torch to the rescue!) Went through it and finally the old girl was on the road albeit it would vapor lock after about 50 miles all the damn time. Not much fun driving a RH drive car in the states, but it definitely got a lot of looks. But it was a driver car. I wasn't whipping donuts in that thing.
