Full marks to Mike for a seriously good article.

Excellent copy, good story line, reasonable grammar, no typo`s and correct spelling of "anaemic". Nice pictures of the cars making fantastic use of his family home. Nine out of Ten. Good man!"

Joking aside, Mike should be congratulated for a splendid piece. I`m sure we all agree.

Nice one Mike.

Mike

Yep, great piece, 2 lovely cars in a great part of the world.

I took a drive in North Yorks on sunday - fantastic open roads and beautiful scenery.

It was great day out in God's own country and the car behaved impeccably. What XK ownership is all about .

Very good pics, Gasman.

I very much like the first one with the viaduct. Can I suggest you ping those pictures over to Nigel. He may well like to use one or more of them.

Lovely car in a great colour. Wheels and lowered suspension suit it well.

Kind regards.

Mike Kennedy.

Thanks, Mike.

It was easy to take good pics in that setting and I think the car is fairly photogenic (but then I would).

I took about 150 pics and seemed to stop the car about every 50 yds!

Nigel is welcome to use any pics, but I don't like "Blowing my own trumpet"

Best wishes,

Steve.

Thanks for all the comments about the article. It was fun to do. If only the weather (in March) had been a patch on the last week or so, it would have been even better. Like Steve, I too have been out enjoying the Yorkshire moors in the sunshine. There's nothing better to lift the spirits and blow away life's cares! Mike. :D
