It’s never my intention to exclude anyone. It is just that the X150 forum is my go to.
Asking a moderator... perhaps for the wider audience this belongs in General?

How fun would it be to meet up, show off our cars and have a 'beverage'... stated purposely for those of you offended by the word 'drink'.

One of these trips back this summer I was thinking a mass deployment of XKs (ok, perhaps all versions of the xk, from the beginning) to an interesting place might be fun.
Thoughts?

I have no quarrel driving to Mount Washington? Manchester VT? Stowe? Finger Lakes(Watkins Glen used to be a DESTINATION) ? somewhere else?
And there are fun things to do at these places: Fly fishing? Falconing? LR challenge? Skeet shooting?... ok 1 car event: Slalom! (purposely stated for those of you who can only drive in a straight line) or Ralley? (purposely stated for those of you you have never used a map)

Or is this just idle banter and I should go back to the crap they call entertainment...

Cheers.
that sounds exciting like a great idea but it's very far from me.

Locals often not a fan of sports cars.

If the weather is good the place is clogged with slow moving yub yub yub motorcycles that don't pitch more than a few degrees in the turns.

If you want something for a drive find something with less scenic cruisers.
Exactly! Very, very crowded with too many "inexperienced" bike riders.

Does Watkin's glen have events that would be interesting to Jag guys and their 'spousal units'? There are wine tours, and other finger lakes events in the summer.
