Jeepers! There are mountains in Florida! What a blast it was driving Miss Peaches on all the wonderfully senic roads. What a great show! And Jaguar is featured next year. Hopefully we can get a crew from the Carolinas to attend.

Mike,

By golly, we've got a few hills, don't we? What a cool drive with you and the XJ220 on the back roads of central Florida. It was a great day to be a Jaguar owner, and I had a smile on my face the whole time. It's nice to see Peaches out on the road, running just fine -- fantastic sight!

I will keep you informed regarding next year. Nothing is official yet.

Ginger,
I just noticed, in the above picture, that we were all left of center. You could have had people believing that we were driveng true British style if it wasn't for the speed limit sign. Congrats on the AGM awards. And I must say, what a cool picture on the front of your newsletter! Is there any way a guy could get a hard copy of that?

With regards to the above picture: it's not jest the speed limit sing that give your location away. 1) We don't have double yellow lines in the centre of the road 2) it’s much too sunny to be in the U.K.
That xj220 is a stunning car and it’s so good to see them being used and not just displayed. I recently visited the newly opened jaguar museum at Coventry and there they have on display a prototype 6.0 litters V12 xj220. It never went in to production because they could not get more than 300bhp and meet the exacting standards of the British emissions regulations. Just image what a car that would have been, May as successful as the XJS? But if that where so they would be every where and seeing a picture of one being driven would not send a warm glow through you hart!
