Nothing special really. I just thought I'd share these pictures I took this afternoon in the garden in celebration of the spring-like weather we're having in France at the moment (at last!!)

 

Great shots. Ah Spring, can't wai,t only another 6-8 weeks. envy envy envy

 

Very nice. Love those wheels!

 

A very rare and unique model frog! thanks for sharing the pics w/us!

 

Nice ride!

 

I would love to had a coupe to my collection but I don't have the stomach or wallet to deal with TWO of these cars. Ha ha

 

Makes me wanna frolic!

 

Thanks for the touch of spring time on this dreary rainy day in Virginia! Lovely specimen too !

 

Makes me sick. They are predicting at least a foot of snow here by wednesday. I am soooo ready for spring it hurts to look at those beautiful car pictures. I know eventually it will be spring here but it's seems a long time coming this year.

 

Nice ride, happy driving ,thanks for the pics

 

Thanks for all your kind words. Fear not, spring will be coming to all of us very soon.

 

Great photos of a great car, Frog.

Winter is still sticking around here too. I'm hoping when I get back from my trip this week, I can at least get the car around for a joyride. Maybe I'll take some more pictures posing by some snow piles

Hey Friarshuck, what part of Nebraska are you from? I went to school in Lincoln and get back there about every year. I got a wedding to go to in Omaha at the end of April. I'm thinking of moving back down to that area at some point. My signature picture actually was taken in Lincoln (East Campus at UNL)

 

Ok Frog, I now hate you as much as Goldlion. Just for the record, that's a good hate. Not only am I totally jealous of your car (the perfect XK), but the weather you have. With that said... I hate you. In a big way. A big, big, really big way.

 

France will get its share of rain this year, don't you worry...then we convertible owners over here can make him a little envious in return

 

Lol, just so as you know: it has been unbelievably sunny here for the past week, but before that we had what seemed like 4 months of non-stop depressing grey skies, cold, damp and drizzle. I would love to live somewhere like California, or Florida where it's summer all year round...

 

Hi K.Westra,
I live in Hastings. I have a son that lives in Lincoln and he went to UNL. I thought that picture looked kinda familiar.
All of our snow finally melted here last week and I was thinking yahoo here comes spring. WRONG.....Snowing like crazy today. Looks like the foot of snow the weatherman promised is indeed going to happen. Oh well, at least it won't be here three months from now like some of our early snows. Seems we both own cars that are not particularly suited to the climate where we live. ha Oh well, it's still kinda fun to own these cars. It appears I'm the only feeble minded xk owner in Hastings. Maybe the closest dealer being 150 miles away has something to do with that.
Anyway, if you get to Lincoln, let me know, I get there from time to time and would love to meet a fellow forumist. Take care.

 

Not to rub it in...rode my motorcycle today...65 degrees..it's Daytona Beach Bike Week!

This is a dumb question but...FROG, what side of the road do you drive on in France, and if not the left then why a RHD car?

Could you elaborate about the other Euro countries, i.e. what side of the road you drive on: for example, USA (LHD) because we drive on the Right side.
UK-- L side, Germany R side....Belgium? Holland, France, Spain, Italy etc.

 

Took the kids for a ride yesterday in NCE KTY with the top down. One of those rare winter days in the Pacific Northwest when the it's dry, sunny and 51 degrees! OK, so I had the heat cranked up on high, and a hat on, but it was about damn time to feel the breeze again!

Think sun!! (But don't forget your umbrella.)

 

Lol, I'm a UK expat and XKRs are far easier to source in the UK, so I went back to the UK to buy this one. All countries in Europe have LHD cars except the UK, but as we're all pretending to like each other now, RHD cars are accepted on roads throughout Europe.

 

Quite a few days here for top down driving recently. This weekend should be a great weekend for going topless!!
