Default Touring in the XJ-S

Hi all

As some will have noticed, my wife and I went on vacation in the XJ-S this summer. Denmark --> France --> England --> Denmark, adding up to 5870 km (3650 miles)
I have made a little write-up on the trip with a fair amount of photos on my webpage: Grand Tour 2019 ? XJ-S

Thanks for your tech support before, during and even after the trip

Feel free to add posts describing your adventures !

The ONLY way to tour.

We did our coast road years ago, 25000kms all the way, with a few inland detours. So good we did it again, in the opposite direction 2 years later.

We were away for nearly a year.

Onlly had a film type camera, and there did not process well.

Must do it again, but the X Type just aint the same "warm and fuzzy" feeling.

WELL DONE ON THE ADVENTURE.

..................................given half a chance, the locals would have probably been friendly in 997

I think my ancestors (vikings at that time) had a tendency to make a rough entry, when they visited new places...
