This will be an all expenses paid trip to London from, on or around the 6th Sept to the 10th Sept approx inclusive, to the World premiere of the Jaguar XE launch.


A dedicated Jaguar / Spark44 employee will be with you to facilitate the experience throughout.

To be considered for this there are certain criteria that must be met, as below.......

1. X type owner
2. Age range 35-45 ( a little leeway may be given on this for the right candidate )

4. Social media user
5. Current passport



Expectations are as follows....

Send Thermo.

He's likely the most deserving fellow on the forum. He's only helped 100% of the people who have posted questions here.

(Too bad he'll probably spend more time with his head under the bonnet that seeing the sights, but oh well... !!!)


I'd love to go, but I can stay home and drink warm beer, too.

yeah... send Chris Coleman and K'Re Ann.

7,572 posts deserve recognition, and you just know he will do a helluva job with the write-ups.

Thanks Bruce, kind comments on Thermo and rightly so I guess....

Unfortunately, all we can do is make a list of all prospects as it were and pass to Jaguar to decide, It is they who will have the final say, who, if anyone meets their criteria set.

We all await their decision with bated breath.

If I'm honest, I'm a little peeved that they don't want someone from the UK....I'd love to go...lol

Jim

If I go, I go, if not, so be it. Life is what you make of it, not what is handed to you. I only got where I am by not using the words "I Can't". Even if you don't succeed with something, you are still ahead because you learned something along the way and the next time you do it, you will be that much further ahead.

Well, all the candidates have been put forward, as is, with all relevant info.


Its now in the hands of Jaguar to see who / if anyone is chosen to proceed.


We'll be back at some point in the near future to advise the outcome hopefully.
