Started our 9 day back roads tour from Central Texas (Bangs,Texas)through Dallas to Texarkana, meandering NE to Bull Shoals Lake. Cross Bull Shoals Lake on Rt. 125 ferry then N to Missouri. E to Rt 21 then to St. Louis. One day in St. Louis then down to Lake of the Ozarks. A couple of days there then meander back to Bangs, TX. Wife and I have been Jaguar owners since our first Jag, a 1964 XKE Roadster purchased June 1969. Have been a member of JCNA starting in 1975 in Columbus, OH, JOACO. There were some lapse in our membership. Will post a photo of my E Type when I get help. It is now the same color as my previous E Type, copper.

Back home from our 2,300 plus mile run in the Jag. Car ran great with the only casualty a stress crack in the right headlamp glass cover. Front end needs aligned as the front tires are smoked starting from the outside. Will try to get a photo of the car on the ferry across Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas.

We ran 100% of the trip top down. Speedo 20% error. I know because while cruising at 60 mph on speedo I received a warning ticket for 72 in a 65 mile zone.
