Last weekend I drove my 'Father-in-law-elect's Jaguar XJ6 over to Northern Ireland for him. Apparently he has always loved Jags, and ever since I got my XJS, he has wanted one (see what my brother started?!)
Anyway, his is a red XJ6 with tan leather interior. Absolutely lovely to drive too - you feel like you're king of the road when you're in it. Here's a picture...
I drove from Lincoln to Cairnryan in Scotland (which is near Strantraer on the west coast of
Scotland) to catch the ferry, pictured below here
Once on the Ferry, I took this picture of the moon light on the deck - it didn't come out as well on digital as it looked (it was on my phone)
I got to Bangor at 11:15pm, and felt as fresh as a daisy. It was just really nice to drive all that way alone, just me and radio 4 :-)
The next day, we did our usual thing of going down to the local pub, drinking a load of Guinness, and backing a few horses (which I never do) I happened to be very lucky this time, and won 32 quid for an 8 quid outlay...I managed to drink my winnings away :-)
A great weekend was had by all...
