Just for us old timers
Someone linked a review by Steve McQueen in Sports Illustrated, where he drives a 1966 XK-E, Alfa Duetto roundtail, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Corvette, Porsche and Cobra, and gives his impressions.

The "0-100-0" became something of a benchmark once it was achieved with the 427 Cobra. Few cars since have reached that level of performance even to this day. Of course, the car could turn the hair white out of anyone actually doing it, but that's another story.

One thing that will never be repeated in automotive history is the impact this car had when it was introduced. It became a cultural icon for Great Britain's place in the world. It just blew away everything like other cars were from the ice age or something. It's styling STILL looks right today.

Yep, I realize that. I have had the text "Blodwyn Pig" under my username periodically- I change the text every so often. Mick Abrahams (B.P. founder) was also a Tull charter alumnus, so I don't feel the pig is too out-of-place. A recent B.P. release, "All Said And Done", features a complete remake of Tull's first album, "This Was". I like Abrahams' version slightly better.
There is one other 8club member who uses the Blodwyn Pig for his avatar, but he uses a pink background.

I was eyeing an E type 2+2 ('73 series 3) which are by far the cheapest of the lot, about $20000 Canadian in decent but certainly not concourse condition.

There was a flash thunderstorm during the concert, and to Ian Anderson's apparent surprise, everyone just stood in the rain listening. I think he was quite surprised the band had this kind of following here. He remarked about the "celestial light show by God" and the crowd loved it. That was some concert series, which is another one of those things that just can't be done today.
