Yes, thanks for the details - and the news that you two are healing.
The comment "If this were a soft top I wouldn't be writing this today" still sends chills for a vert driver...
Perhaps my mind will exert a bit more control on my foot from now on - Best wishes for a quick recovery. DaleD![Icon Bike](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_bike.gif)

These are great cars, this one saved our butts. Be careful out there.

Sheesh! That's pretty close to home. I live in Keizer and really wanted to attend the rally but spent memorial day weekend in Boise with my middle son and family. I know the highway out that way quite well. As others have said, hope you and your wife have a speedy recovery. Looks like you were both spared from what could have been a much worse or even fatal accident. Take care and be safe. I'm going to try to attend the June meeting. Maybe we will get to meet up some time.

Received a call from the OSP today. The female that caused the accident was found and cited for leaving the scene of an accident. She told the OSP that she didn't feel that she had to stop. She told the OSP that she saw the show taking place along side and in front of her.
The OSP talked to those at the scene and put together the few letters and numbers that others saw of her license plate along with my description of the color and make of car and found her that way.

Furthermore, if the person was impared, or something else shady was going on, a leaving the scene of an accident ticket is a lot better than a driving while under the influence charge. She gambled that she would not be identified, or the fact that her car actually didn't make contact with the original poster's was enough to get her off the hook.
Take care,
George

Why ? It's not the cars fault that some nitwit ran others off the road.
Definitely a sad story and glad to hear the original poster and his wife are OK, but I wonder if the latest posts to this thread are another victim of the "Related Thread" function in the forum making the thread appear current or relevant. I'm not sure I really like that function as it seems to cause confusion.

after 9 years, who knows ? The OP's top post, circa 2010, has some confusing contradictions. He calls the Jaguar his " dream car" and says it "saved his bacon". But also says it will be his last Jaguar.
Why ? It's not the cars fault that some nitwit ran others off the road.

In any case, even if it's a dream car, the ownership experience may not be for everybody. Seems like OP took very good care of his, though. Maybe once you've achieved one dream, it's time to move on to another one.
The car that got me into cars was the Dodge Viper. Maybe some day I'll get my hands on one. I'll need a lot more money, though.

Ha, ha, ha, ha....!
Someone got me to reply to a nine year old thread !
I wonder if this entry is like the old country song about the little girl who appears on the curve in the road every year, gets the truck driver to take her to her house, then disappears. Turns out she was killed 50 years ago.
