Hello all . . .

Several years have passed since I last disgraced these columns with my exuberant ignorance of all things Jaguar. I have missed the fun, the sharing of knowledge, banter, sledging and downright lies! I won't apologise for my long absence . . . truth is, it has taken me years with lots of support from long time friends here (thanks Doug & Lois, and Clarke in Qld; Jim in NSW).

So, what's new? Well, both the S1 E-Type of 40 years ownership and my co-pilot sweetheart of 47 years marriage, have both departed. The beautiful E has been totally restored to pristine condition while my daughter Megs has emerged as enthusiastic owner of my former UK spec 4.2L XK8 . . . although she tends to push it even harder than her mother on the SII V12 Vanden Plas.

As a result, Ken's Kattery has swelled somewhat, but they are all a collection of tales for another time. Just want to reach, say hello and thanks, and wish you all well.
Keep yer pistons pumpin' . . . preferably inside the block, and well clear of those terrifyingly close valve heads . . . although anything less than 6,000 is just coastin', eh?

Cheers,

Ken

Great to hear from you Ken. Lots of catching up for you to do.
We have left the city and moved north up in the hills about 1/2 hour west of Doug and Lois.
