I might be alone on this, but I actually find myself feeling for the setscrew hole with my fingertip as a reference point for positioning my hand around the ball. I also find the size of the ball just right for my small hands and have not had to deal with many extreme temperature fluctuations yet.

Braking benefits for the same reason. Because of weight transfer, each brake handles a more equal percentage of the load, so there’s less likelihood of exceeding the amount of grip available from the tire.

I understood that you had the Amazon battery in mind, but with China dominating the global lithium-ion battery industry, I wasn't afraid to take the plunge. My only regret now is how much I paid for the Antigravity battery.

I've had the Antigravity in my E-type Jag for over two years now, and despite the Lucas wiring, the car hasn't gone up in flames yet (it's come close, but not the fault of the battery). I am more concerned about the different charging requirements of the lithium battery vs. lead acid. It seems...

There has been no discernible degradation in battery performance so far, I'm happy to report. The price was under $300, which isn't much more than a conventional lead acid battery. I didn't have to replace the original battery, and the weight savings will likely make no difference to handling...

A new Esprit V8 was well over $160k in today's dollars, apparently.

"After buying the MX5 I would drive it quite a bit even with the Evora sitting in the garage." Interesting to hear this. I feel that daily driving my supercharged BRZ is not that much of a negative thing compared to driving the Emira.

You have excellent taste. I would not disagree with that short list. I may be biased, however, being lucky enough to have both the Emira and E-type in my garage. Miura is my dream lottery car along with 250GT Lusso and SWB, not forgetting the 300SL Gullwing.

Some of these pics have been posted elsewhere but I thought it would be more appropriate to repost them here. I find it interesting that my stable has a car older than most of the ones I've seen so far on this thread. My daily is the BRZ which is supercharged. These three are the most...

Speaking of "retro", I have both a rather new Emira and a rather old E-type coupe (1964, in better than new condition) and can share my experiences with how much attention each car gets. Both cars get a huge amount of attention, but I think the Jag gets more overall. It really does depend on...

Same here.
