“Vintage Jaguar engines have such a reputation for breakdowns”

God dammit, I was a victim of clickbait.

My advice: stop coasting in neutral and “ripping the e-brake” to stop your car quickly.

Also, let it go.

The shifter on the S2000. Easily the best shift mechanism I’ve ever used. Also, the start button that you actually have to hold down for the car to start. It’s such a small thing but feeling the car come to life at your fingertip is pretty neat.

But I cannot, even for a second, manage to convince myself that I can ‘feel’ variations in valve timing and duration in an engine going 3000+ RPM. What, exactly, is the driver supposed to be feeling, when the guy asks if he ‘feels that?”
