Default Any X308 Meets?

Hi All,

Wondering if there are any exclusively X308 meets that occur?

I think it would be a nice idea and a cool sight seeing a convoy of X308's powering down the road!

Just got my car so I don't know of any so far. I'm in Atlanta, GA if anyone is interested in starting one.

Would be cool for sure.
Only problem I see for me would be I'm probably the one in a 100 mile radius that would attend..

They usually hold x300/x308 meets at independent repair shops.

@4Litre: I am also in Atlanta but other than the North Georgia Jaguar Club , I rarely meet anyone that is an enthusiast.

How long since you've been??
Used to be "Italian Corner". They were really good.
Now it's "Tunxis Grill". Still good food but not as good or authentic Italian like it used to be.

I did it. I had my transmission in my 2001 XJR rebuilt, along with a few other related things (while they were down there)....and grand total of AUD$7k.

An amazing difference in performance and drive - it hurt to fork out the dollars - but what a difference :-)

Having growen up in the UK I can see this happening in the UK, there are also more X308s per capita there in a smaller area, but it would be difficult in the USA. Everyone is so spread out- may be with 100-200 miles between enthusiasts.
FWIW I'm in the Chicagoland area

I haven't seen another X308 in my city in years.

I see the occasional X308, maybe seen 5 different ones locally in the last 10 months, but certainly not a common sight.

Maybe seen two S-Types in the same period, and only one X350.

I see a lot of BMWs of different marks, and quite a few Mercs, and Audi's are not uncommon.
