Well, a grand over 11K on the cheapest I've seen so far. However that's not disposable "leave it in a car park all day" money even for grossly over-paid consultants. There's also the issue that an XJ6 diseasel can be had for much the same money as the C6 diseasel and IMO the Jag wins there. XJ 0-60 7.8s, 144mph C6 0-60 8.4s, 143mph The Jag's nicer inside IMO.

And lighter, and has cheaper side windows. Oh, and less french. -- And remember kids, RAID is safe and the UPS never fails, and Cisco routers never develop intermittent faults, and external hard drives never fail with only a month's use, and the DNS is reliable and resilient, and the mailserver is protected from all forms of attack, and the replacement UPS will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure. No one will ever guess /that/ password, the aircon can't fail 285V is close enough to 230, and the QoS on the PWan won't obstruct the tagged traffic.
