On the road again, to Schiphol to pick up Mr B. from Paris. After accelerating to 130 km/hr, I noticed that the car didn’t slow when I eased off the gas. I braked slightly and tried again. It was barely noticeable since I was going flat out, but still, I felt anxious. Then Continue reading Not quite a Jaguar 7 comments to Not quite a JaguarPhoto taken in July this year during one of our best day trips in Abruzzo.
