Times up RC

Ok still no XK but I had a trip down Route 66 in OK today, the Kia has gone to be replaced with a Dodge, here is a bit of the original 1930's road, only 9 feet wide!

 

...that's gotta be tough to pass on that road. No pic showing where I drove my car today (the office just isn't exciting, but maybe tomorrow, i'm taking it to the dealer for an alignment, wouldn't that be exciting?!? Nobody's seen the inside of one of those, I bet.

 

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, watching the tail end of Hurricane Sandy go by. What an amazing sunrise.

 

Don't say you didn't take your camera!

Went to Walmart to get a battery for my X Type

It was Sept 7th - Windsor (UK) all the way down to St Ives (Cornwall) with the top down and the sun shone the entire way. It just doesn't get any better than this. As you can see, I took a gentleman's 'must have' navigator.

 

I finally hooked up with a Jag, and took the car and SWMBO for a drive up to Prescott.

 

Wish I could get one of those Jaguar shadows to go under my car. All the US XK8's seem to have them.

It was a cold Winters day - 50deg, couldn't even get the top down!

 

Howdy Folks:
Just got back from a 3 day holiday beach trip to Litchfield SC. Had to go, thinking that it would probably be the last of the warm, sunny weekends before the cold weather.>> Highs in the mid 70's no rain.>> Jag ran well. >>~650 miles plus about 10 miles of walking the beach.
No problems except that I had put a new selection of CD's in the changer, and on Sunday it gave the " No Disc " error. Did a search and will fix it this week.

 

This past weekend was just beautiful here in Central Florida, so the wife and I enjoyed a ride through the country from Sebring to Lake Okeechobee. More or less ideal driving conditions for a car with a supercharged engine. On the open road through the countryside we sped along at 85-90 mph and still averaged 21 miles per gallon. Oh yes, I was sure to have the radar/laser detector on. An altogether great day.

 

A few days ago in Glenshee, Scotland.

 

Your car and photos look stunning Graham, and heck so do all these beauties..

I drove my XK8 45 miles on my daily commute to work today into downtown Torrance. This shot doesn’t feature any beautiful historic landmarks, it was lunchtime and I was simply trying to avoid door dings in the back lot!



Oh and pardon the grime, it actually just rained out here in Southern California if you can believe it, and I was not expecting an impromptu photo shoot today. I promise to wash her after work J

 

Norri...SWMBO, eh??!!
I wasn't familiar with that acronym, so I Googled it...LOL!!! Too funny!

Okaloosa island. The gulf of Mexico on one side and the sound on the other.

 

Norri.

Very nice. What kind of wheels do you have?

 

Into my car hauler so I can take it NorCal tomorrow or Monday. Pray for sun.

 

Had plans to take a drive up to the northern part of Arizona this weekend but a storm came though and delayed departure a bit. Sunday was a beautiful day, though, so we went and at 7000ft there was a bit of snow.

Don't anybody get up in arms about driving in winter weather, there wasn't any salt on the road and she got a bath when I got back home.

And for those of you in the eastern half of the US, yes this is really Arizona and no the entire state is not a desert wasteland.

 

Charlie,

Great pic - even when there's snow you still have sunshine to go with it.
