Drove the kids to swimming lessons and thought how rattly the engine sounded. Back at home I added about a litre of water to the header tank and filled the overflow tank halfway. Is that core plug leaking again? No sign of it.

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.
