Well, having just looked at all the pics from the 'Entente Cordiale' this is going to seem like very small beer! Grin

However, there is a small but important event coming up this Saturday, 4th July. It's in aid of 'Help for Heroes' and billed as a'Boy's Toys Charity Event'. I'm planning to support it. The venue is - Ham Cottage, Highbrook, Ardingly, West Sussex, RH17 6SR - 11 until 4pm.
If any South East members can make it it would be good. Cheers, apax.

I had a very good afternoon/evening at a Brands Hatch track day last Thursday, organised by the Pistonheads Forum. Many thanks to Julesjag for the tipoff.
They had the new XJ there and an XFR, acompanied by Ian Callum. I managed to get a chat with him, and he now seems to think that I'm responsible for the JWM magazine!! Ah well, not worth arguing!
Some pics to follow (if enough space has been made by now). The first is me pretending to be a proud owner. Cheers, apax.

I was impressed by the way he seemed to be 'hauling in' the other track participants, but he was apparently disappointed with his times.

Couldn't get any actio shots as my camera, and my technique were not up to it!.......but the sight of flames emanating from Matt's XJS's exhausts was impressive.......and I'm not kidding! Cheers, apax.

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 ,
does this meeting still take place .

Thanks Alan .

Hi Alan, Roy's alter ego here! Yes it does still take place, but it's not a Jaguar event. Roy and I have used it as an excuse to air our cars and meet up for a chinwag in the past. It's fairly low key and there are some oddball vehicles (like a pimped Cortina with a table, flowers and glasses in the rear!).
It gets publicity from the Kent JEC as they hold their monthly meetings at the Three Horseshoes, and the owner is (supposedly) a Jaguar enthusiast.
The last one was in my diary as being on the 18th, but I have no date for a May. Cheers, apax.
