Jaguar Owners Club West Midlands meet 19th September.

[Raistlin]

This is great to see chaps :)

 

I might need to ask Gaydon for more parking space :)

[Old Peter]

I think so too, Paul.

 

I have always said that the West Midlands is half way to everywhere,

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

[Raistlin]

Or indeed, halfway to nowhere Peter :D

[WhateverMan]

Count Me in Folks... ( Jimmy and His Jag x ) B)

[Old Peter]

Welcome to the Club, Jimmy.

 

Paul will put you on the list.

 

The x type is rather good car,   ---  I used to have one till some scroats "borrowed" it ---  carjacked.

 

I hope you enjoy the club  ---  there is a lot of expertise if you have a problem.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

[Raistlin]

No sooner said than done Jimmy. Welcome to the club :D

[WhateverMan]

Hi Peter,Theres been a good response so far what do you think the possible  number going now?

[Old Peter]

It is looking like 30 + at the moment, Paul.

[Skelly]

Great numbers, it will nice to see that many Jags in one area,lets push for forty,thats one hell of a turn out for any club,.theres lots of members looking forward to it.it makes you think what other club events could be made for the future with that interest, see you all soon.

[Old Peter]

Curiously, Paul, I tried to organise a meet at the same venue last year and only got 5 people interested.  

 

There have been a lot of new members in the last 6 months, and quite a few from the Midlands.

 

Peter. 

[Raistlin]

Well if everybody turns up on the day it'll be a sight to behold :)

[Skelly]

Yes, Peter that can happen,it will still be good with half that number,see you there mate, Did we come to a time to meet there,i think ten  was mentioned is that a firm time?or are we waiting until a bit nearer the date.

[Old Peter]

Hi Paul,

 

I wil certainly be there at 10.00 am, but I think the actual meet up of the JOC will be around lunch time.

 

Paul [Raistlin] and I will be having a chat tomorrow.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

[Raistlin]

The venue will be able to accommodate us from 10:00. That is to say, they will have the car parking and signage in place for 10:00 :)

[Raistlin]

Just had a very pleasant and productive meeting with Peter :)

 

It looks as though this is going to be a really worthwhile event.

 

I'll put up a post about two weeks prior to the event with final information and in the meantime Peter will have one or two points of guidance to make.

 

Looking forward to putting faces to names :)

[Old Peter]

Hi All,

 

Things are moving quite quickly in spite of the meet still a month away.

 

I visited the Museum a couple of weeks ago and had a thoroughly enjoyed the day.

 

However, there is a lot of road works going on around the Museum due to JLR developing their Gaydon facility.  Those using the M40 should disregard their Sat Nav instructions after coming off the M40 at Exit12, where the road works on the slip road swill be finished by the 19th.  

 

The Museum is well signed and there should be no problems getting there.

 

There seem to be adequate picnic tables and if the weather is good, it will be ideal for a picnic lunch.  There is a small cafe serving a small range of hot meals, and drinks.

 

We have some sponsorship for the event  ----   more on this later.

 

Looking forward to meeting you all.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

I would love to come assuming I have a car that works and money in the bank;)

I've only done 2 meets and they were vw but both were great days out.

So that's 1 grandad blue X diesel estate with 1 maybe 2 guests.

Dave

[Old Peter]

Hi Dave,

 

It would be nice to have another Lancastrian in Gaydon,

 

It will be a good day and I hope your car is is working well!

 

Regards,

 

Peter

Lancastrian in exile.

I have been offered a couple of cars from work to bring along for people to have a look around if anyone would be interested.  I have the option of an F-type 3.0 V6 charger or a new XE S 3.0 V6 charger. I am thinking the XE would probably be more attractive for members as it is more of a realistic buy for most people plus my wife is coming with me and she has a couple of health problems which would mean an F-type would be a very difficult ride for her. I am planning on bringing the XE but if  i get a majority of calls for an F-type on here then i can always swap to that instead. Let me know what you might be interested in looking at/sitting in etc.

[Old Peter]

Brilliant, Phillip.

 

I think the XE is the better option for people to look at, assume of us pensioners have to be a bit realistic.

 

Of course SWMBO may change my mind if we win the lottery!

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

 

PS.  A photo of each member who wishes could easily be done, too.

[numkelfutumch]
