Staples2Naples 2006.  1500 miles across Europe over 4 days.  In a 19 year old Jaguar.

NEWSFLASH - It is the sad duty of Bangers & Smash to report the loss of Jess the Jag.  She suffered a collapsed rear wheel bearing on the autostrada and despite limping the last 50 miles to Naples and a good nights sleep, the doctors thought it best to put her down.

Jess the Jag.  11/08/1987 - 26/09/2006 aged 19 years.  Gone, but not forgotten.
