Default A nice drive today

Took my 90 XJS to have the front wheels put on the back and back on the front and it took care of the pull to the left. Like driving a new car, steering has no slack drives straight down the road when letting go of steering wheel. Steering wheel is dead center.

Got on I-35 South in Oklahoma city for a short drive ended up 150 miles south in Gainesville Texas, on the way back I put the top down as it was 80* today, took old highway scenic 77 north thru all the small towns and Turner Falls area in Arbuckle mountains, the most relaxing drive I have taken in a long time, beautiful scenery.

Pulled into a mom and pop store for gas and a gentleman came over looking at the car and talking, before I left there was 3 ladies and 5 guys all around the car, the tag says "V12JAG" so they wanted to see the V12, the whole time they were complementing the car and could not get over it was all original at 28 years old. As I drove off looked in rearview as they all watched me leave. I was already having a great day but that really put the icing on the cake. It don't get no better than that.

It's great when it all comes together; makes all the pain and expense worthwhile.

I think that should be engraved and put above all our garage doors! A bit like marriage!

Absolutely!
Had a chat to nice chap onboard the other day, driving a Lambo Espada.
I've never seen one in the flesh before and he seemed quite pleased to chat about it.
