The great thing about riding a hard-sprung sporty motorbike much of the time is that it makes driving your Jaguar feel like riding on air. You have to accept it's not that easy to overtake, though.
What is it with some drivers? Is the art of overtaking being lost? Some people will sit behind a slow vehicle forever. Now, I'd never advocate dangerous nor even high-risk passes, but some people just seem to switch off!
Anyway, needed to be smart for work today, so it's back to 14mpg just as I was starting to get used to 40.
THIS IS the story of life with a classic car. I drive a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 and write about it here. I'm Martyn Moore, former editor of Classic Cars magazine. This is a two-year story about the roller coaster ride of classic car ownership. The most recent entries come from a classic car rally in 2005, the last journey I made in the car before putting it into storage. Use links on the right for earlier entries.
