A brilliant classic sunday tour

[Martec]

I thought I'd say something nice rather than what has gone wrong!

The MkII was taken off the road in september to have some chrome redone at Prestige plating, so the only driving I have been able to do was on our private road to keep the disc clean and sit on a different part of the tyre.

This Sunday was the first long run this year, we used the motorway to Clowne in Derbyshire for the 'Clun run'. We have been on all 3 so far. Again it was well organised and this time included a water slash if you wanted. Although I have repainted it, we thought what the hell, so down a very steep hill, into a stream bed (paved!!!!) along it for a short distance and back out round a very tight corner and uphill gradiant (the water was only about 2" deep but the stream bed a bit narrow.

An excellent run and whilst we were moving we were reasonably cool, the car was perfect, we ran out of LPG 3 miles from home so petrol completed the journey. Sorry I forgot the screen wash pump isn't working again, a BL special on this car.

Hello Brian,

Nice to hear good news! Hope that the S Type is behaving as well!

I thought that was you Ken! Yes both Jaguars are running, beginning to drive the S type a bit harder, but the memory of the bearing failure slows me down.
