Very tempting...I might have to sit this one out coz we will be in the middle of a kitchen reno and my missus might not appreciate me bailing on her. But if I can, I'll make the effort. It sounds like a great day.
Tempting indeed, the kitchen decisions are all hers anyway.
Even if you don't take it on the track it would be a good 250 km round trip.

The car just arrived yesterday afternoon. Initial thoughts are that the 280KW 6 supercharged is much more usable for a person of my skill level than the supercharged 8 in the XKR. The steering and gearbox are awesome (the 8 speed suits the higher powered engine much better than it does the 177KW 4 pot turbo in the XE in my opinion). The suspension is softer than the base f type (you can dial it up) but is still firmer than the XKR. Probably the same as the XKR in dynamic mode.
Audio and media are much better than the setup in the XKR but that is to be expected, I never liked the B & W system in any of the jags and the meridian is far superior for the music that I listen to.
Driving is just super fun. Not as fearsome as the XKR, more clinical but still with plenty of agro. Getting in and out is not as much fun.

just called Qld raceways to make sure our pit bays are next to each other.
We have a Steve H booked in with Jaguarforums too. Not sure who you are Steve, but we will see you there Sunday. looking forward to meeting another member.
Looks great! Wish I could have been there but all of my spare time is involved in the kitchen reno (I cant believe how much mess has been created). Definite starter for the next day at the track, though.

Don't sweat it bud, there is always next time.
I look forward to seeing your F Type in the near future. She looks superb!
