The
Long Way Round
Jaguar World, Jaguar XK120 long distance record
car, March 2008
‘At 50mph I enter the first
bend and in an instant my view out of the window is at
a sharp angle. As the circuit curves to the left
ahead of me I can't see anything but a wall of road – no
horizon, no trees, nothing, just a never ending track.
I quickly sneak a look up, out of my window, and I see
only sky while the other side reveals nothing but grey,
unforgiving tarmac.’
