...jail after one midnight escapade. He got three speeding tickets--two from the same cop who was trailing him--just on the drive from Albuquerque the weekend he moved Microsoft to Seattle. Later he bought a Porsche 930 Turbo he called the "rocket," then a Mercedes, a Jaguar XJ6, a $60,000 Carrera Cabriolet 964, a $380,000 Porsche 959 that ended up impounded in a customs shed because it couldn't meet import emission standards, and a Ferrari 348 that became known as the "dune buggy" after he spun it into the sand...

...class. Ambition is driven by hubris and shabby moneygrubbing. Pollard gets a job with Naval Intelligence and sells out to the Israelis. Ames succeeds thanks to the "incredible malfeasance" of colleagues who do not think it suspicious that he banks more than $1 million and drives a $40,000 Jaguar on a $69,000 salary.

And in June there was his cloak-and-dagger passage through Singapore, this time under the eyes...

...roadster is back. After years of declining sales, and against the Boomer vanguard of minivans and sport utilities, automakers such as Jaguar and Porsche have rediscovered and updated a vintage class of sports cars that have virtually no reason for being except the sheer wind-in-your-face joy of motoring...

...Jaguar XK8. Undoubtedly the queen of the pack, the XK8 is a sumptuous work of art whose engine is the first V-8 ever produced by Jaguar and only the fourth engine in its history. The price is for royal bloods too at $69,900 for the convertible model. It is the only one of the new models to offer a backseat--though just big enough to cart home the groceries in leather. It's the British company's first sports car since the showpiece--and mechanically damned--XKE ended production 22 years...
