I was in college in 1966 and had a 1964 Austin Healy Sprite. Not the bug eye, the one that looked like a MG Midget. A college professor of my acquaintance had a Jaguar XKE that needed routine service and a tune up. I suppose the professor thought that my Sprite qualified me as an expert on British motorcars and he asked me if I would drive his XKE from Natchitoches, La. to H.D. Rogers and Sons in Bossier City for the maintenance. It was a wonderful 80 miles there and back. The memories still linger.
