Welcome aboard Beck. Please don't be shy about your car not being a 'show car' - this group is NOT about show cars. Just a bunch of Jaguar lovers who like a social get together and to talk Jaguar talk. We have a wide range of models and experience in the group. You sound pretty keen and will fit in well. Looking forward to meeting you at the ABD.

Hey Beck . . . grab a can of polish and cloth. This aint a competion of whose car is best . . . it's about diving in, making and sharing friendships and knowledge and enjoying each others experiences, surrounded by a range of classic cats. On a purely selfish note, your presence will add fuel to my hope that my daughter Megan will join me - not that she needs any excuse to wind up the XK8 while I nestle into the S-Type.
I too am delighted that our $20 per car will go to a worthy charity . . . so hey, all you canetoads, including my Bundy born Megs . . . please make this a must do. We are comin' to visit . . . and the southern cats are growlin' already.
Thanks all for offers of hospitality,
Stay cool,
Ken

All options OK with me . . . and yes, nice but significant distance makes spending a couple days very sensible.
Cheers,
Ken

Ken I'd be keen to catch up for said dates as well if I am able to get down before ABD
If it is on the Saturday night I'd have to find a place to sleep the night before (no dramas) if it is Sunday it will be after ABD, but I won't be able to stay in Brissie too late as my eldest son will most likely be traveling with me and I got to get the young scholar to school the next day
What suits the others?

OK. I see a few options . . . maybe a Sat night up towards Paul, Doug etc . . . and/or a Sun night (time permitting) somewhere near ABD venue. How about we pencil them in as options and firm up closer to event?
Gosh, you're a hospitable, friendly bunch . . . more so after all our offers of "wide sky sunshine" at Tenterfield offered heaps of rain instead . . . and the expensive diversion of an antique jewelry and gemstone shop!

Okay. Now we know you're up for a while we can think about a couple options for venues to suit everyone and get some discussion happening and work out a plan. No guarantees with the weather up here lately either. We have been known to put on some 'All British weather" for the All British Day. For southern visitors though we may be able to make an exception. If Meg's bank account has recovered I'm sure we can find some nice jewellery stores for her to browse too.

Hi everyone,
I haven't missed an ABD in years, but I regret to say that I will not be attending this year.
I have got the best wife. She never questions the $$$ I spend on maintaining my cars.
This year I promised to take her to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers (Sept 15-18).
Hoping that you have great weather and post lots of photos.

It seems like anything else planned for the weekend will be on the North side as most of the guys are up that way.
Gold Coast airport is well over an hour south.
