Ha ha ha.............. so, I'm now trying to figure out what I should consider my Spit...... Mistress is out, I'm definitely heterosexual.....LOL I've just simply considered it 'transportation', but a nice one as that. I've always thought the E-type XKE the most beautiful car ever designed. But, looking at the many TR6's on the streets in this area, I can't see anything 'masculine' or 'brutish' about them at all. I consider them a square little box with no interesting form or shape at all. Liv
