Thumbs up



Count me in, I was hoping to participate last year but the car was not up to her former glory. This long winter has brought a few improvements and I’m hoping to do some cruising this year.

I'll try to make it as often as time allows. We're taking the cat down the full Route 66 this spring so we'll be gone a while.

At the very least, we will be doing a British Car Day related meet and drive this year again for sure!

I would like to rally the troops for a meet this spring or coming in the summer for sure!

I don't own a car any more so guess I will have to let this go and just wish you all good weather. This will be the first year out of the last nine that I have not shown a car at British car day in Bronti. What a bummer.

Would be nice to organise some sort of 'run' from the GTA to Niagara to have residents from all points between join in. Of course it would likely be a longer run for the GTA residents but on the right day would be a beautiful outing.

If it comes to fruition, and a route being established I'm sure you'd see other Jag owners from here joining in once their area has been reached.

Many of non-highway scenic routes to take advantage of from GTA/Hamilton to Niagara.

I'm sure my wife and I could arrange a stop at our home in St.Catharines for food and drinks. After that we could head down the lakeshore into Old Niagara-on-the-Lake with nearby wineries and old stores. Possibly a stop at Rob Laughton's Jaguar 'farm' (if he's home) if anyone needs parts for their Jag as he has about 30 jag part's cars from the 80s to the 90s.

I could always write up a mock itinerary if there's enough interest in a GTA to Niagara run, if not I suppose I could orchestrate one for our area.

Now that is a great idea! I love this kind of input!

Something inclusive of all our members in the wider southern ontario region would be ideal! A trip to/through the Niagara region, with a few scheduled stops in between sounds like the framework for a scenic-rally' for us Jaguars...

Bob: pick up an aston or something and you're more than welcome to keep coming around!

Mulmur: Sounds sweet, I hope to see it out this year; I have a buddy at work who is picking up his F-type R coupe at the end of the month...

I would be very interested in a GTA to Niagara road trip with the mentioned stops. Sounds like a good time.

Default Where you gonna park ?

A trip down to Niagara On The Lake sounds great, some lovely shops etc.
But every time I go down there for a pleasant drive or theatre, I spend an hour just finding a parking space. Cant cram Jags in just anywhere.
I'm just north of Uxbridge, and would enjoy the cruise.

Having lived in NOTL for many years, I can attest that the "locals" rarely go to the downtown part because of traffic & lack of parking. However, there are a lot of parking opportunities a few blocks from downtown - not to mention the odd winery

Back down south in the Owen Sound Grey-Bruce Area and up for any collective cruising potentially taking place.

Thanks,

Crazy Lee
