It must be related to the  Viking DNA . There is a poetic comparison
between driving an "iffy" E type down the east coast and sailing west from
Norway to North America in a  Viking Longship!

     he was
     A  A  A in this
     A  A  A AA  A area at the same time.
     A  A  A AA  A Rather boldly, he bought a beater Jaguar E-type coupe
     on E-bay
     A  A  A awhile
     A  A  A AA  A back, and he flew over in November to spiff it up a
     bit before
     A  A  A taking
     A  A  A AA  A this springtime road trip with one of his buddies.AA
     They've
     A  A  A had all
     A  A  A AA  A sorts of adventures along the way, with the car
     seeking to
     A  A  A dismantle
     A  A  A AA  A itself in various ways.AA  He had to remove the
     starter (which
     A  A  A is

     A  A  A AA  A distributor for an E-type in stock; they ordered at 7
     p.m. and
     A  A  A it was
     A  A  A AA  A delivered at 10 a.m. th next morning.
     A  A  A AA  A And so on and so forth.AA  It's a neat car--it has a
