Default Sparky H Sends His Regards

What makes this forum great? Well, the car might be the common denominator but it’s the people who make it great. I have had the tremendous good fortune of actually meeting a large number of forum members over the years—having hosted 9 events since 2016–but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t had the pleasure of interacting with many other members who I have not met in person. (sorry for all the double negatives).

While I was checking out a recently revived thread posted this morning—mostly from 2021–I came across @Sparky H and decided to text him. He, in turn, sent me a rather long and beautiful text which I felt necessitated a phone call and not just a text. We spoke for a good 30 or so minutes and he asked me to convey to this forum that he misses it and you and to extend his very best regards.

The F-Type is great but it’s the people on this forum which makes it special. Wouldn’t you agree @jaguny ? And countless others here***?

Best regards and Happy (and especially Healthy) Holidays to all,
Jay

***A few:
@Thunder Dump @DJS @Unhingd @Mbourne @Ichi Ban @Jimf @Nati @GGG @scm @lizzardo @Mahjik @SVR 575 @Awd @Norri@TXJagR @zach05855

And plenty of others who are not members of this forum.

Couldn't agree more as you are the prime example of such individuals.
.....and many others who I have met due to your efforts in bringing together great Jaguar owners and their companions and friends.

Regards to all of you.

Been a part of car forums for about 28 years (the first starting appearing in the late 90s). Without reservation, this is the best group of folks on the automotive net. Thanks to everyone for making it a great place to talk about the F.

To be fair, the moderators are pretty aggressive in keeping it that way. Cheers to them!

When I first joined I was accustomed to forums that are a little rowdier, and got a gentle reminder to be polite and keep it on topic. I try to keep to that standard, mostly successfully.
