Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
i understand that, and i havent driven it enough to really get used to it. but i do enjoy that. i am just saying that it isnt as fast around an autox course as the mini.
also the servos in 1st and 2nd are going, so its difficult to shift into those gears. and that hampers some of the driveability.
not really, since we often go for long drives on the weekend.

Back to the XKs not being available as a standard. This makes me think. Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to have a transmission swap. Or, is that even possible? If so, sounds like something I'd like to consider one day.

that's what she said
What would you guys think about taking the XKR to Arden and getting them to fit one in. They specialize in Jag, so shouldn't they be able to take care of something like that? I sure don't see why not.
"By special request only Arden equips convertible or coupe with a six-speed manual transmission with a high-performance sintered-metal clutch."
YEEEHAAWW......now for the cost.
CMC, have Alfa-Romeo restarted sales in the US yet? IIRC that was meant to start at somepoint this year - you could still have an Italian sports car inside your budget...a GT or Spider perhaps?
"This is hardcore." - Evo's John Barker on the TVR Tuscan S
exactly... currently the only italian cars available in the states are ferraris and maseratis. alfas will be sold through the same dealer network initially, and then maybe progressing from there. assuming the old american mindset towards italian cars goes away. or it gets re-proven and we run them off the continent again.
