The backstory is that he did a swap to procure it with one of his exotics that he owned. Tyler announced this already. Came as a surprise originally, because he also announced he was selling prized jewels from his auto collection in order to raise cash to pay taxes he owed the Government.

Very nice, congrats.

We expect to see footage of the engine being serviced/disassembled/reassembled. I have, of course, been aware of the car over the years, I didn't realize it was considered the first supercar, available to the public anyway. I like the fact of the inline six. My Bimmer's inline six, the M20 2.5 was a great engine.

At some point, perhaps you can join the real world.

He's almost 74 years old. You expect a major personality change to come his way soon? Unless it's the product of dementia, I don't think so...
