Thanks Ian... good to hear from you.  Can't believe I still own a SHO
too, albeit my 4th one.

That's exactly the info I'm referring to.  I dropped a line to the V8
list so I hope to have some more info soon.  The vehicle I described
will be in production for the '07 model year as the next Lincoln LS.
