A great morning at Katie's, and a lot of Jaguars there!

That's great! I will keep an eye out for you. I'm hoping the guy with the XK RSR that just drove through the lot last week comes in and stays!

I may be the only PA based car but at least four others from MD, DC are coming as of today. Plus a very cool legit eurospec 82 or 83 Audi Quatro Rally Car is coming from the Thurmont area along with one of the FTYPE's. See the following thread for the running list on the FTYPE forum

Sorry I never caught up with you today, Mbourne! At least partly due to Mbourne's efforts, we had several F-Types, as well as other Jaguars there this morning. Thanks!

Of course, Katie's is never limited to just one marque...

Thanks Bob but I really can't take the credit. It was nonsns3 who prompted the group gathering. The rest of us just showed up.

It's always great to see Jags out in force!

Here's another shot of your car, plus an XK that 'got away' from me...

An overcast day, but we still had a decent turnout.

As I understand it, the annual Jaguar concours is today & tomorrow, 09/17 & 09/18/16, in Purcellville, VA. Don't miss it!

A cool, clear morning; the first Saturday of Fall 2016. Several Jaguars there; that last one is an XJ6 in bad shape, at least cosmetically. They are asking $900.

I got to Katie's this morning, as usual, around 5:30AM. Only one person was there, which was very odd - usually, there are at least 5 other cars there, with 10 more coming in immediately after me. It was low 60's and overcast, but I saw the forecast Friday night, which said it would not rain in Great Falls until 9:00AM or 10:00AM. Obviously, everybody else knew something I didn't (you get used to it), because it started misting around 6:30AM, and lightly raining at 7:00AM. Considering it was completely dry early, it was an amazingly light crowd - by the time I left at 7:30AM, the front lot was barely half full.

Still, I'll take the rain today... as long as it's clear and dry for the Hunt Country Classic British car show tomorrow, Sunday, 10/9/16. Here's a link to the show's site -

Hunt Country Classic

Still, it was an interesting day at Katie's. Rich Brooks, of the Ford GT tuning firm GT Guys was in town to work on a few local cars, and decided to come over to Katie's. Rich used to work for Roush, and now does very high-end work on Ford GTs. (The white-black-and-yellow one is his.)

No Jaguars there today.

I'm back from two weeks of vacation... (Quite irritated that I left on vacation without hearing about the big local Jaguar event, but wasn't in town for it, anyway...)

This morning featured crystal-clear skies, early morning temps in the mid-40's... Regulars at Katie's were pretty thin on the ground this morning; the front lot didn't fill up until probably 6:45AM. Though it was late getting started, attendance was fairly good. A decent showing of Jaguars, including two F-Paces.

DB11. One of the first in the US. I'm just not a fan of that roof break and the side vent. It's too gimmicky and not Aston in my view. But to each his own.

There is definitely some BMW i8 in the roof break. Still, it is stunning, even considering it's still not a huge departure from the aging Aston look. The interior was interesting, and unique, but I still think Maserati does a better job on the cabins.
