Default Atlanta area forum member's Cars-n-Pizza

Tomorrow! Saturday, January 31, 2015 1PM

Yes, I know this post belongs in the Regional Forums but if the Mods would wait until late tomorrow morning to move it we might get a few more forum members together that otherwise might not see the notice there.

We are meeting at Rosaria's Italian Restaurant in Kennasaw, GA http://rosariasitalianrestaurant.com/directions.html

This restaurant is located on US41, off I75 northwest of Marietta, south of Acworth. The link above has a direction map.

Look forward to seeing ya'll there.

Default Sorry I missed the meeting

I sure would like to make sure I can make the next one. Do you folks meet every month? I am a new Jag owner and learning a lot as I continue to read more and more of the posts on here. As a kid, I always loved the looks of a Jag and hoped one day to own one, but as I got older, always heard horror stories about the maintenance. Now after owning a BMW and a few sports car over my time, cant be much worse than what I have had in the past. Now, getting a 2005 S Type 4.2 with that sport interior and rims, I am just like a kid in a toy store now. But, I want to learn as much as I can and maintain this car to last a very long time.

I was recently diagnosed with a spinal nerve condition that there is no cure and unfortunately it will get worse as I get older. Only being 50, its not fun to hear such news, but when my wife said to buy this car, it brought such a smile to my face. And I cant wait to meet other Jag owners and learn.

Thank you all for allowing me to join the team of other owners and more than willing to listen to everyone on what I need to do to make sure I can extend the life of this car.

Thanks to all and I look forward to meeting you all later on.

Cheers,

Tim

Sorry we missed you! And welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguars!

Got 12 together for lunch and inspecting each others cars. This is the first time we have tried to do this but the consensus was that we would try it again in top down weather when things are in bloom and the world is turning green again. Proposed to meet at a North Georgia mountain restaurant to be determined.

Wow, you have two of the cars I love. I own a 2000 BMW 528i that I have babied over the years, wanted a M5 for a long time, but I know maint on those cars can be really high. They are amazing cars. But your Jag, thats the business there. Beautiful car.

We had a handicap in that the meeting place was an active shopping area and there was limited parking places. Here are the pictures I took and I am sure there are others with pics to contribute.

The 2014 F-type was the obvious hit of the group. The owner was discussing the fact that the convertible was limited to 500hp vs the coupe that was rated at 550hp. I commented . . . poor baby.
