These reports always get me checking AutoRoute to see where the route is and the distance.

That'll be around 1000 miles round trip?

You drove back in the rain! Everyone else one the forum has me convinced the entire US is bathed in sunshine all the time. Now you've got me thinking they may possibly be trying to wind me up.

I hope someone is going to actually go somwhere and post a pic soon.

I'm going to take a pic of my rental car if nobody steps up.

 

I moved my wife's XK8 out of the driveway this morning so I could get my Dodge Ram truck out. Does that count?

 

As written by Graham
WE have been this summer most of the country in the Mid states have drought conditions. My pond is about seven foot below normal, the grass in the yards are brown and this week we are suppose to have record heat waves. For Kansas they are predicting 114 degrees. My son in law and father are cattle farmers and they have lost their corn. They're chopping it up for silage as we speak. The price of food will be climbing in a few months as corn becomes a short commodity. Sorry I went off subject.

 

Rental! Have the Jags been repossessed?

Graham

 

Yes - if all four wheels went on the public highway.

Graham

 

No, I've been banished to the Lower Atlantic region for work.

 

Hey Guys,

Just drove mine up from Tennessee to Michigan Saturday & Sunday. Easy trip, got to 135 MPH and felt like there was lots more but my wife's screaming was putting a damper on the thrill of the speed so I backed off. Maybe I'll put a blanket in the back and take my Great Dane/Boxer mix for a ride. She loves going fast!

 

I swear I'm going to take a pic of my Kia soon.

 

My wife took her XK8 to the grocery store in Hawkins from Holly Lake Ranch, Tx on Saturday and drove home in the rain. For some reason the entire state of Texas and the rest of the central part of the country is in draught conditions except for a little piece of East Texas. We have a nice shower about every three or four days in this local area. My grass is growing so fast it has to be mowed every three or four days.

I got myself a robotic lawnmower. That one and the robotic vacuumcleaner really saves us a lot of time

I drove to the physiotherapeut and back today. About a kilometer there and another one back. Not much.

 

Lower Atlantic. At least that can't be in Fife.

Is it even terrestrial? What are you - some kind of Jacques Cousteau?

Graham

 

That's tremendous!
I've almost needed medical assistance after reading it.
Graham

 

Good to hear you're up and about again after the Op.

Graham

 

You have a Kia - please keep that to yourself!

We had a power cut from 7:30 last night so we walked the riverside path around the city. This was the closest I could get the car!



No Kia's Norri - no Kia's.

Graham

 

Thanks. Things are going really well, I'm even allowed back to the gym on wednesday. My goal is to run a marathon next summer. It takes some time to get used to the new back, though. I gained 5cm height after surgery, going from 185 to 190cm.

 

It's a jaguarforums geographical location. You'll not be surprised to learn that it was coined by someone from elsewhere!

It's a rental Graham, I'm not keeping it, but so far I can't fault it except for being a bit plasticy.

Power cut, I thought we stopped those after the miners strike?

 

Didn't a city in the US buy London Bridge in the mistaken belief they were buying Tower Bridge?

Graham

 

It's at Lake Havasu AZ, funnily enough there was a commercial on tv the other night for some of the London stuff they are doing just now, I was watching with half an eye and they mentioned London Bridge as one of the attractions and showed a pic of Tower Bridge.

 

I was totally confused by 'Mid Atlantic' recently thinking that was the Sargasso Sea. 'Lower Atlantic' suggests the last resting place of RMS Titanic. Now I understand - it refers to the Atlantic coast.

So you've driven this piece of plastic from Arizona to the East Coast and left two perfectly good Jaguars at home. Eccentric.

Ah, the Miner's Strike. Almost makes me nostalgic for the times when we only had major industrial unrest and widespread civil disobedience to worry about.

You'll recall electricity supplies in cities are all underground in England? Well, the main supply cable had melted and the zealots from National Grid arrived at 02:00 this morning and began digging up the street with a pneumatic drill. I'm on a very short fuse today!
