The car will always be MUCH cooler than its owner, but thanks for the ride! The XK-120 has possibly the nicest lines of any sports car ever. My dad had a red one, back in the day. Was tempermental and sometimes wouldn't start in the cold, but GOD what a ride. She's a rare and fine looking lady, take care of her!
Uh.. yeah professor, the XK 120's have a starting carb that will idle the car until proper temperature and then automatically throttle down. You're not doing that great car any favors by starting it up and giving it throttle!
