I love those wheels, so much better looking than mine.

 

Paul From Port Coquitlam here. Hello fellas….

 

Welcome, Paul!

 

Hi, today we had our local show/sale/parts-swap, which went of without a hitch despite heavy rain forecasts for this weekend. My XJ40 was the only one in attendance so you should be able to spot it lurking around in several of the photos!

Anyway a great time had by all, lots to see and do, managed to swap an old Mk9 badge I had hanging around for a nice copy of Andrew Whyte's "XJ40 - Evolution of the species" and put away a really big hot-dog and loads of fried onions. The missus says I'm allowed that once a year!

Here's some shots of the day

Hey All,
We have a 1998 XK8 convertible with a LS1 swap done last spring. ooolala and the ponies!!!

We have 274,000km on the chassis. Front bushings are next and of course some tiddling to restore things like seat leather and mirror replacement but overall not much to do. Labour of love for sure eh.
Would love to go to a meet (April too early to cross the Coq) but hope for a future date.

If you are curious about the swap search for LS1 Conversion Chapter 1 in this forum.

I got this car for my wife in 2011 and we are keeping it until they pry the steering wheel from our cold dead hands. This is my wife's dream car and I love it too. Toying with getting an XJS convertible someday.

Love the Jaguar brand and have since I was a boy. Nice to have one, even better to drive it.

 

Good afternoon
I have a new to me 1998 XK8 roadster. It has 30k Km red with tan top.
I'm looking forward to connecting with club members here on the West Coast.
I am a city driver here in downtown Vancouver, but don't hold that against me.

Is there a Victoria meet this year?

Thanks,

Graham

 

Due to recent surgery I"m out of commission for 5-6 weeks, but, I would certainly be down for a meet and greet foray in the lower mainland. Coffee, lunch whatever…. even a few beers at my place…...

 

glad ur feeling better! im totally down for a meet. i live in richmond but can pretty much meet up whatever, so im down for a meetup.

 

Well, thats two of us….. lets see if we can get to five over the next 5 days…..

 

Just gotta figure out this hydraulic leakage or convert to a vacuum system. Most defiantly interested in meeting with you guys. Trying to hold it together...can't wait to get her on the road. Live out in Langley.

 

Hey all,
I will be off the road till the rad is replaced.
On order from amazon at 1/3 of what the dealer wants.
We'll see
I will post a thread when done
Will look forward to a meet afterwards

Cheers

 

Seems like there are a few of us who may be interested for a get together of sorts. The weather will certainly be improving over the next few weeks, so for now lets keep in touch in this fashion and see if we can get serious for a bit of a drive. Harrison isn't a bad little drive…… Any suggestions are great.

 

Sounds pretty good. I think it would be neat, to meet up before and follow each other out there.

 

indeed! lets make some plans and get this show on the road!

 

Sounds good to me. I have to go in for ( hopefully) my last kidney procedure on the 28th of May. Should be in fine shape in a week or so after that.

 

I should be comin thru on July 2nd or 3rd, headed for the Island. If you would like to meet up let me know and if it fits, it fits.

Cheers,
SK

 

Add us to your list. My 'new to me' VandenPlas and my husband's 87 XJS. Both V12.
Looking forward to many happy driving hours and getting together with other 'proper motor car' enthusiasts.
