Paul II Skilleter
Fast Friend
Francis Stanislaus. It’s been a while since I thought of the guy. He was — is — a childhood friend, some years older than me. There are people you always remember from your early days. Many years later, if you’re lucky, you realise that your paths were meant to cross. Without them to nudge you in the right direction at a given crossroads in time, who knows how it all might have unfolded? Now, that can be a good thing or a bad one. And, growing up, there were more than enough people who believed the latter when it came to Francis.
Jaguar plays it safe
Unable to be in London, I watched the XE reveal in September using the live feed that Jaguar had arranged. It was a highly professional public launch quite unlike anything that has happened before – the appearance of the new car being preceded by a stage play featuring a young man from the Thirties who dreams of designing a new car.
