I grew up in Jags as the old man had them. Mark X's and so on until he bought the XJ shown below. Thought that they were pretty cool then a friend of his took me for a ride in his S1 E-Type. It was the open highway just before it got dark, in the middle of no-where in NE Oklahoma. Not a soul in sight on the highway...
I remember the sound, the wind and looking over and seeing 145 on the speedo and a crazy grin from the owner. He got it up a bit faster then slowed down and we drove back home. I have never been the same since thank God.
