Where did you drive in your XK8/R today?

Have plenty of pics of waterfalls from our 650 mile trip thru the Smokey Mountains last month, but none with the Jag in them. I was going to drive it to Canada next week for 12 days of fishing, a 2800 mile round trip. But the boss (Tina) said what am is she going to drive? 2 pickups, a dodge Intrepid, and a Harley Davidson. Well! Need I say more. Jim

I think a couple of your work colleagues must be vacationing over here. We've got two separate crews with the road up on opposite sides today.
Often wondered - is there any science involved in finding utility pipes or is it a more a case of "pot of coffee, a prayer and keep going, we'll find it eventually"?
Enjoy the fishing and ask Tina to post some pics of what she gets up to in the Jag whilst you're away.

I've driven it to work and everywhere else every day for about 2 months, but normally I alternate about 50/50 with my A8L. I drive the car like any other car, it's reliable, cheap for parts, easy and fun to drive. It is a daily driver that only retreats at snow, which the Audi excels at.
I like driving my car whenever and wherever. The car isn't valuable enough or rare enough to be worried (00 XKR Vert) about running the miles up. I am definitely not saving the car for someone else.

Better than my drive today.
Around 50 miles down the motorway to my nearest Jaguar breakers for a seat module.
Didn't have the heart to take a pic of the hundred or more various models in the process of being stripped. At least I'll never be stuck for a V8 engine if disaster strikes - they had a dozen on the shelf!

Back from a trip to St Leonard de Noblat, a medieval village in the Haute Loire.
Outside the 12th C Collegiate Church, built in part by Richard the Lionheart
Church entrance arch
I hadn't realised those were reflectors until they caught the fill-in flash!
The Bell tower at night - yes that is the moon and stars!

Thanks, Keith.
Getting there and back was very enjoyable too, top down, nice fast open lanes and the countryside looking at its best.
The Hotel we stayed at is the building in pic #1 with the grey window and little balconies.
It had a lovely walled garden we polished off a bottle of Champagne in before toddling off to a very agreeable restaurant €26 for four excellent courses.
