This past April Jaguar Corporate invited their Dealers to Austin, Texas to a new State-of-the-Art Formula One racetrack to test-drive the three versions of the new Jaguar 2014 F-Type against it’s competition (if there is such a thing).
It’s always a lot of fun to be with the dealer body, especially when there is new product. The event, as well as the reception to the new car, was great. There’s a picture of me with my favorite racecar driver, Davy Jones and of friends I’ve known over the past 20 years.
I had the opportunity to talk about family, furniture, music and cars with Wayne Burgess. He’s the young lad in charge of the design of the F-Type, boy that was fascinating. I had met Wayne a few times when I was on the Dealer Consul and traveled to the U.K. He’s a very talented guy and is part of the “New Jaguar.” It also was fun watching the “Brits” enjoy the Texas BBQ and country music.
I invite you to Madison Jaguar to really get a sense of what the F-Type is like to experience. I’m personally enjoying the summer in a F-Type V8 495 HP S/C version, Italian red… sweet…
