Is anyone going to Hever on Sunday? Just thought I would ask.
Nick

I was down for the weekend to deliver mk10 and Pick up V12 and stayed at Archie's for the weekend. Thanks Archie '
Excellent  day at Hever Castle.
I met Nick and his partner and his lovely xjs(cheers
Nick for the ice creams 
Also present Archie and his lady friend.


event was organised by the JEC Kent division..(funny looking bods.)






S type police car..was badged 3,4 but the owner told me it was a 3.8.







A none Jaguar car tried to park in the area and was politely asked to move.

Mine was the only xj40 shape there and was ignored. Alot of the usual e types(so I ignored em)

there was a V12 "N" reg e type for sale at £45000 which a lady behind me said to her husband(in a posh tone)"that it was rather cheap".I don't know whether she meant the car or the price.





This chaps red X type reminded me of the forth rd bridge..as once he had wiped it over he started again.(sure he has been to the London to Brighton run) But he denied all knowledge..


Sadly it was all too much for one poor chappie and he may have had an attack of heat exhaustion or maybe a heart attack,


but the band played on....

A good day out.
Then it was back In the V12 and home....

yes I do agree about the wasps..damn things.... and thanks for taking my better side too...

(I wondered what you were doing sneeking up on me talking to that chap)

As we were watching the knights in armour getting hit ..or trying to knock a vegetable off their heads with arrows...here is a better way of doing it with medieval weapons...

Did you ask him again whether he had an xj40"vandem plas" and was at the L to B again??

If I see him  again..I will put him in a darkened room and see how he likes waterboarding.. should get the truth out of him in the end.

this is where it all started..Nick..

Is there a Heaver this Year anyone?

Nick

Hi Nick, The event at Hever will be on Sunday the 21st August. Just turn up and pay on the gate.
That clashes with the JDC XJ Day at Gaydon, but as that's about 140 miles away and this is local, I think Hever wins it for me, There is also a good show at Capel on the Saturday I believe. Cheers, apax.

Several irrelevant posts have been removed. This is a thread about Events not MOTs. Would posters please make some effort to keep to the thread context. The alternative is to start ANOTHER thread to discuss your cars' MOT woes with those that might be interested. Regards, Archie.

I did not see these off topic posts. But if you do go around the board then I feel you will be busy removing these sort of posts. They are everwhere on this forum and it makes for a friendly atmosphere.
Just my thoughts.

Nothing to do with SSOC at all. Just think about what you are posting, and where.
If the cap fits? Cheers, apax.

Nick, I think that the answer to your question is that this is purely a Kent JEC event and does not get widespread publicity as a result.
You would only find an on-line reference on the Kent Region JEC website. This does not apply to the diehards of course! I wonder if Roy Garrett will be there this year?
The other aspect is that the venue is normally the Kent JEC National Day which, as mentioned earlier, was held at Brands Hatch this year. I had to plague their membership secretary for info about the Hever venue. Cheers, apax.

Thanks Archie - Will see you there then. Is Roy going to make it do you think?

Nick

Don't do that Jacq, we need people with a sense of humor, there don't seem to be many of us left!!

    all the best Brian

Hi Jacqueline, All that was asked was that members post appropriately?
Your last post was 9 lines long and I could find no reference at all to either events or to the Hever Castle day.
We have a gossip and chat Bulletin where you can air any and all of your car and personal issues. Regards, a.pax.

Hi Archie - A little disappointed that it's going to be such a low key event. Usually such a good day out. I will go.

Farria will see what the weather is like. Promises to be better later. Have we heard from Roy? Anybody else out there planning a visit?

Nick

I'm planning to arrive about 11:30ish. Hope to meet others.

See you there Archie!
Nick

Blimey Archie - Didn't realise looked that awful. But was a good day out and thanks.

There was a quite a good deal of interest and especially as the event/gathering had not been widely publicised.

Nick



A more flattering shot 

Off at a complete tanget. Archie and I were talking about hands free kits for our cars. The pictute below shows the arrangement I had in my previous XJS. Makes use of one of the as-tray appertures.

How did you guess Roly? 

Nick... was that man there with his red Jag and his polish kit??


If not then maybe he is at home polishing it instead.
