I think james still had the cruise control set to 130mph and it just shot off!
it was quite amusing to lose sight of him because of the dust trail - reminded me of a scene in the movies with cars in the desert with long trails of dirt...it wasn't ideal to wipe the dust off myself but hey, it was a mistake and he didn't do it on purpose and I think some people have been to quick to shake off the veneer of good manners which is usually in abundance on this forum.
still hope you're coming out to the midlands do james

On the few occassions that I have met James, I have found him to be a thoroughly pleasant, mild mannered and all round great guy. His need for speed though is undisputed 
I am sure that James had no ill intentions, and, as has been pointed out by Al, he did apologise. It was a sincere apology and should have been accepted. There was absolutely no need to insult him. There is not one of us here who could say that we have never done anything silly.
I hope that he comes out on the Midland's Summer Fun weekend run and night out and to see him at MayExcuseToGetDrunkToo.

Good stuff...James is good bloke
Agree entirely with what Al said. I didn't attend but by the sounds of it James was genuine in what he said.
James...I trust you will still be at Silverstone? I still want to see your XKR!!!!
I couldn't make the day, but agree, James is a good chap. We all make the odd mistake once in a while, and it would be a shame for PH to loose someone like James.
Besides, the Jag is
