I can go but it must be tricky for the workers (it's a Thursday). Thanks to Roy garrett I also know now how to get in to the pits, though I'm not sure how legal this is if you're not actually paying to drive! Cheers, Archie

Would love to have a go on the track with the XJS but havn't got the bottle, keep telling myself am too old now. Anyway could turn out expensive as I would probably bend or break something. So, see you in the pits. Roy G.

Hi Jules, As per first post about this day, it's the JEC. As to what is running, as it's a track day, it depends entirely upon who decides to turn up. Marsta had indicated that Gail Hill was due to attend with one of her racers but unfortunately he tells me she can't make it.
It's still fun though, even just to watch and see the cars in the pits. Cheers, Archie.

Took a few pic's but can't get the hang of moving cars with my Fugi S5500 due to delay on shutter, anyway following about the best even after cropping and re-sizing being Jaguar World's Matt Skelton in his 1988 3.6 XJ-s. Good to see you agin Archie. Roy

Three Horseshoes Classic Vehicles: Just noticed that the first meeting is this Sunday 16th at The Threehoeshoes pub Nockholt, Kent from 12noon. Seems that the meets are on the third Sunday each month until October. Not a Jaguar event, have only been once before and was a mixed collection of vehicles but if the weather is ok good excuse to get the XJS out. Cheers, Roy

Hi Roy, I've always got these meets in my diary, but mainly for when there's nought much else happening!
At present I'm half committed to driving up for the JafuarForum get together at the Harvester Flamstead (Junc 9 M1). Usually consists of the more modern vehicles with lots of S Types.
However, let me know if you are defintely going to the THree Horseshoes, as it is local and will be more convenient for me, as I have a lot on at present. I wonder if long_john will be there this time? Cheers, Archie.

This is really best suited to Sussex/Kent members. There is a Charity Run taking place on the 17th May. It is advertised as being for cars up to 1980 but they are open to anything unusual or nice! They have 36 cars at present and are looking for a total of 50.
The aim is to raise funds for a local hospice. The day starts at the Bluebell Railway with a bacon buttie breakfast, then a run across the Ashdown Forest in to Kent and a pub where coffee and biscuits will be available (or whatever else you fancy at your own cost). Then it's back to the Hospice for a hog roast about mid afternoon. It ain't especially cheap at £55 but the food's included and as it's not a Jaguar event the chance to get up close to other classics will be interesting. I can't seem to place a link here but if you think you might be interested I can email the full details to you. Cheers, apax.

apax, I have been to a few of those, did not remember seeing you there. They don't meet there anymore. I have organised one at The Cowper Arms for that forum for this Sunday 31st May for 12noon, you are most welcome to come along and anyone else who is in the region.

Also, there is a good value event coming up at Silverstone. The Renault World Series racing on Sunday 5th July. We have a contact there who can send you free tickets and you can have the use of the Brooklands hospitality suite all day with breakfast (bacon and sausage in rolls), lunch,- tea, coffee and soft drinks all day. All for a bargain price of £50 for a whole days entertainment.

Silverstone Classic 24-26 July
There will be an advert in the JEC main club mag for this weekend as Jaguar are the featured marque.

Check out http://www.prestigesportsevents.com/page14.htm for Dean's website.

If you are interested in either event don't wait, just contact Dean Sheppard direct on email info@prestigesportsevents.com
or phone him on 0207 193 2422 and make sure you explain you are responding to Phil's details.

Hi Phil, That's a very generous offer re Silverstone. Sorry I won't be able to attend your get together at the Cowper Arms tomorrow.
I have only attended one Jaguar Forum meeting at Flamwell, which I think was two years ago. It was just after Chris joined us here. It was interesting to see rows of modern Jaguars, instead of the usual Mk 2s, E Types etc..
Where were you on the L to B?? Mind you, our parking arrangements went to pot, due to poor communication. One of the marshals seemed to think that our bays were fair game for anyone, so you may not have found room with us! Cheers, apax
