I will probably be there this Sunday. I've only done it once and was impressed with the entrants, quite different to the norm, and also the fact that the cars are parked on the streets in the centre of Faversham. Any one else going? Nick, Alan? Cheers, apax.

Archie - Really sorry to have missed. Just didn't log on so missed your message (I've pm'd you).

Have to say really good event with something for everyone. If anything, too popular but it all adds to the occasion. I've added a couple of jag related stuff pictures but doesn't really do justice to the caliber of the display.

The MK2 looks very nice. Don't actually know the guy but he works close by to me so have seen it around. It's for sale.

Happy motoring
Nick

Hi Nick, Agreed! A very good show with an amazing spread of vehicle marques. A sort of party atmosphere too.
That 420 was really something special. The dark blue 340 may be for sale but you wouldn't think he's too serious. No price on it and, more importantly, no phone number. There was a beauty just off Market Square in Dark Green with light beige upholstery, a stunner!
Very good day out, with only one brief shower. Cheers, apax.

Still waiting for some feedback from Archie and Roy from the “South Downs” run. Unfortunately I missed this one as was up North with my parents. Happy days Nick The little picture of my old car has vanished from my sig.

Hi Nick. I believe Roy took some pictures on the South Downs Run. It was a great day out, but tiring, as we had to drive to Chichester and then the run was 3 hours back to Eastbourne. It was supposed to be 2 hours but we missed several turn offs, which was down to my navigating. Have to say there were no 'tulip' instructions and the whole directions were written in script format. This meant that extra stress was on driver and navigator as we were searching for signs, junctions et al with no mileage indications. The organiser had told me that it could be done without a navigator - yeah, right!! Didn't see any driver doing it on their own! Great turnout of about 90 cars I think. Will I do it next year? Probably not.
This weekend the 5th. Hamstreet Show (nr. Ashford, Kent). Both JDC and JEC attending. My first time.
Sunday the 12th. Bromley Pageant. I have attended this for longer than I care to think as I lived very close by for 25 years. This year will be no exception, and I believe we may also see Reg Hester with his fab Mk 10. Alan Gregory and Julian Shepherd will be there too, so see you there Nick!
Sunday the 19th New Place Farm Show, Framfield, East Sussex. Well worth a visit if you are nearby.
Saturday the 25th. ESJEC Treasure Hunt. Details at www.esjec.com. Cheers, apax.

Hi Archie (and others). Really sorry to have missed the South Downs Run but from what you say might have benefited from "Tulip" style instructions (ala LtoB). Did enjoy a good run up to Yorkshire to see the Parents. A nice and relaxed trip up the A1 for once.

Aiming to get to Hamstreet but not definite. Will get to Bromley. Hopefully not too late to get the one mark parking if I phone through on Monday.

Lets all hope the weather holds out (bring on the hosepipe ban)

Nick

Arrived at a fairly wet Bromley this morning but still a great showing. Lots for everyone.

Sorry Archie not to have had a proper catch up but we needed to disappear earlier. Hope you had a good event. Didn't see Roy, wonder if he made it?

I did take some pictures. Not all Jag but obviously some nice XJSs and XJ-Ss out there today.

View back into the one make parking area.

Two very nice XJSs but I think I'd go for the BRG one!

One for Roly perhaps!

A particularly nice late 1980's XJ-S Cab

Bring back the sunshine
Happy Days
Nick
