Hi again:

Finally got my first drive in the big cat during a test drive. Absolute
LOVED IT! Yes, the canted position of driving was somewhat strange and
the LOOONG throw of the ZF shifting was an experience (compare to my
rice-box) but nothing could replace the sound of that throaty 351C
grumbling in the rear, the "lowness" of the car to the ground, the
instantaneous on-tap horsepower at the stomp of the accelerator and the
looks of some of these folks gawking at this Ford muscled, "Armani
suited" roving piece of art. Got a real kick when I saw some guy going
the opposite direction in a Black Trans Am. I think he almost got in an
accident rubbernecking in the big cats direction. Yep, definitely and
experience and it  almost felt like "touching heaven".  Relived the good
times from my 70 Mach 1 days with more gusto. Thanks.

Cal #???? (but getting damn near!).
