And we all drive Jaguars.
Good stuff and you can see why Jaguar used Polaris White for their commercials as almost any other color simply doesn't 'pop' as well on camera. Still, of course, color is always a personal preference and, naturally I love my Stratus Gray V6S Coupe.
Come to think of it, if Jaguar really wanted to depict 'Villians" in the proper light, it should have been black (or any other darker car versus "good guy white"). You know...like in any traditional Western. Politically incorrect though that all sounds. You get my point (and no offense).
Great pics.
Not to worry - east coasters - we shall have our day.

I really enjoyed meeting everyone today and my hat off to T for coordinating this great turnout. The drive from Menlo Park to Half Moon Bay was truly great and I can only imagine what people thought as we rolled into town. I look forward to the next time!
Here are a few photos I took.

Don't worry, AWD is coming for you East Coasters. You can have a Dec Drive next year too

Here's a 'vert from today's meetup, and another of mine (stratus, not black) from a while back.

I agree. It's a fundamental problem with the way cameras meter and capture light. It's possible to capture some of the lustre indirectly by adjusting the image to correct for the camera bias.

Granted, it is a stunning rear and a stunning shot!
Well done!

In case you've never been there, it's always a bit chilly on the NoCal coast, primarily because of a stiff breeze from off-shore. That's true even in July. If you go a few miles inland, it's usually very nice.
Water temps are always cold because the currents come from the Gulf of Alaska, as opposed to the U.S. east coast where they come from the Gulf of Mexico.

The problem of doing such a cruise in the F-Type is that there aren't nearly as many cars on the road around here. For example, so far, I'm the only Maryland member of this forum, and I've only seen one from Virginia. In fact, I still have yet to see another F-Type on the road.

This could have been a nice shot.
