Thanks Nigel, always look forward to your posts - esp the 'images from your past' series - you must have a huge archive of images.
Angus was driving it pretty hard - great to watch.

Thanks Tony. I don't know much about the 'Jaguar' as there was nobody there to ask & I forgot to take a shot of the information sheet stuck on it [I was far too excited and distracted by all the other fantastic cars nearby!]. I did read somewhere that it's a twin turbo V12 putting out 750bhp. I reckon you'd have to be brave to drive it flat stick!!
