With the top down and driving the 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible, we cruised for miles along the South African coast, content to sit back and take in soaring cliffs that collided with crashing waves, sweeping panoramas that touched upon utter desolation and natural beauty unlike any, anywhere else in the world. Top down, hair streaming and sun shining, the XK served as the perfect companion in a place of intrigue, beauty and power.
