I had pledged to stop boring readers with the continuing adventures of Miss
Marple, but this one ended so well it deserved sharing.
Yesterday was our first attempt to brave our horrible traffic with the S. There
was much shuttling of her between Lyn’s office and mine, and we created a
productivity-destroying diversion at each. One vice-president refused to touch
it, lest he leave fingerprints! And they all drive cars three times the value
of ours. On leaving, a young man came up to tell us that his father sold his
S-type 5 years ago in Texas.
We decided to avoid traffic and have dinner out. On cruising home, we passed a
beautiful 4.0 “New” S-type, who pulled up next to us at a traffic light. The
owners were apparently one of the first here with that model, and they were
hysterical with glee to meet up with the original. We left the light and went
over a viaduct, the older lady pulling nicely and with a more musical exhaust
note as well. Ninety degree-plus weather, no overheating. Pure joy and grins.
On returning home, we were greeted by a video tape from Jag US featuring the New
S-Type. Coincidences? Certainly poetic symmetry.
Can you tell we are having fun?

Hi Richard Gress & all – Richard, I’m one who’s NOT bored in any way –
your increasing string of successes with Miss Marple is encouraging indeed,
especially for those of us who’ve contributed in any way to your progress.
Keep it up – and keep us in touch – take care – Larry Martz and RHETT*****

Richard,
Please don’t stop!
My S too has met the new. The owner of the new didn’t realise that his car
grill was based on older models. I was in a petrol station, and he came
over to ask what my car was. He left very confused, think he was off to
the dealer to complain!
