Hi guys,

Sorry to announce, but the meet will be put back another weekend.

The weather forecast has only worsened over the week, and Saturday and Sunday are both calling for rain,

We are better off waiting another weekend for a nice bright, sunny and warm summer weekend to enjoy our meet and cruise.

On top of that, haven't heard from too many people, so maybe another weekend is better for most,


So, official plans as of now is, meet pushed back to Saturday June 15th, 2013. Fallback day of Sunday, June 16th.

Danny- You are more than welcome to come join us in the X! larger the procession of jags for the cruise, the better!

I regret not proceeding with the meet this past weekend, as saturday was passing rain on/off in the afternoon, while sunday was simply amazing and sunny!

- - -


So, how does everyone feel about the meet taking place this Saturday, June 15th? Forecast looks good for this weekend so we should be go for sure this time around. I know it is father's day on Sunday, so I hope it doesn't result in schedule conflict for anyone, so let's stick to a Saturday morning meet and cruise.

What do you say?

Weather forecast for Saturday, 10% chance of rain, with 5-10mm forecast... well seems a bit heavy on the rain by only 10%. Sunday is all showers. I would be inclined to cancel for saturday, but after last weekend turning out perfectly well, (especially sunday) despite the dreary forecast, I think I am going to keep the date set for Saturday June 15th...

See everyone there!

Great meet yesterday, perfect weather for a cruise too!

Poor turnout, but a great time with the few of us nonetheless,


Let's start planning for the next one guys, so we can get more of you out here!

Next weekend, on Sunday June 23rd, there is the annual OJOA show at the Ontario Science Centre,

Anyone coming to this event from the west-end? Mississauga, Oakvile, Guelph, Hamilton...
Consider a pre-meet somewhere in Mississauga, and cruise over together in a group to the Science center?

Keep planning dates and reporting on them Show any pictures as well.
Eventually the meets will gain traction and become a "calendar event" for everyone.

As for the OJOA concours next week, please do come one and all.
Jaguar Canada has just confirmed this past Wednesday,

The new "F type" WILL be there!


So will I.
I will be the one guy in a kilt...maybe

Hey GT!
Now that is very cool. Just a thought though, if you guys can sort it so a bunch of cars don't show up last minute that would be great. If we have display cars showing up its not so bad. But a bottle neck may cause a problem. I think if you could give us an extra 15 minutes that would be fine. So shoot for 11:15 as the latest.
But come! Even late we will welcome you all!
Oh and Danny A Fish, your X-Type is unusual (not many wagons) and for its colour red.
I would like to see it.

Cheers
See you Sunday.
DG.

Hope you guys had a great day - i'm looking forward to the photos and would love to hear about first "in the flesh" impressions of the F!!!!

I am somewhat disappointed to have had to pass as I had hiped to make it - unfortunately, my X arrived home somewhat late last night in the midst of a thunder storm, but the results of the storm on the exterior were as nothing compared to the mini tornado (aka my 3 yr old, Alice) on the interior. No time to put it all right this morning and I didn't feel too comfortable showing up to a Jaguar concours event in a filthy Jaguar (and one that even at its best is somewhat "challenged" in the detailing department).

hopefully next time!!!!

Hey Spitfire, lets meld in the GTA Jaguars to this meet up.
We can get some support and let GT do all the work!
Sound good? Hey GT there is lots of good to be done here!

There are no more Thursday nights really as far as I am concerned so...?
Lets do another one like Monday night cruise at the Canadian Tyre Silver Linden and highway 7. We can get a Jaguar line up some night.

GT, we need guys like you keep this up!
Interested in a presence at one of the neatest cruises in the GTA?

DG
