Hi Steve
Welcome to the forum. Hope you can join us on a run this year, you can chew the fat with Ken on Mark 2s. He has a very nice one :-) There is a run on tomorrow if you are free and just want to meet the people. Turning up in a Jag is optional.

Hi Gene
Welcome to the forum. Hope you can come on a run during the year. Had our first run today and our first F type starter. I am sure he will welcome another F type on the front row of the grid :-)

G'Day Dave.
I am doing the opposite this coming Sunday.
I pick up my Jag near Launceston and bring it back to the mainland.
Don't suppose you feel like doing a drive around the North on Sunday 12th ?
I pick up the car early and not on the boat until that night so looking for something to do all day.

A nice pic on the jag drivers victoria facebook group of graeme voigt at a look out, arthurs seat. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1549414531981415/
I was thinking this would be a good place to include on a run, say up to the top of the seat, with photo opp at lookout on way up, then off to taste some wine at a red hill vinyard, followed by some navigation down to portsea back beach then point nepean, where if you could get on the grass there would be some great photo opps.
Fortunately ive done the front end on the xj40 so surely cant be far off rego!!! Maybe the air con ad dash lights could be fixed first.....

hi guys
new member from melbourne
interested in an f-type awd v8 coupe, and awaiting my local dealer to provide some pricing
i read somewhere that jag have made a few options standard now, but my online configurator still has an alarming number of options selected
currently have an R35 GTR as a second car making around 800hp, but looking to replace with something different, and something i won't fall into trap of pouring money into aftermarket scene - resigned myself that a replacement won't be as quick, but f-type should compensate with sound/drama at sane speeds
will be scouring the forum now for member feedback on their f-types

They are scary numbers but typical for the top model at the start of its life span and also considering we are in Australia.
Keep in mind that my 2009 XKR Portfolio was $245k plus ORC when new,
but current NEW XKR's can be had for $170k, heavily discounted by Jaguar to move the last of them on, a relative bargain.
(Please PM me when your moving on the GTR, I could be interested)
Good Luck, Dene
