Wherever I want to. Make me an offer.

If you drove out to NorCal, I'd drive out part way to meet you. I've been looking for an excuse to go to Colorado...

A definite possibility. I usually stop in with friends in Colorado on my trips across the country. Would finish the trip in SoCal after the event and possibly ship the car back from there.

I went to school out there, and have dozens of friends and family out there. Any excuse is worth it. There's a historic hotels awards/conference in October of this year at the Broadmoor, and I keep trying to figure out how to make it. Highway 50 all the way! =)
But I would definitely try to meet out there for a big loop, sometime in front of this spring meet up. =)

I just realized... this won't just need a proper name for the event, one that we could live with into the future, but it's likely we would need a hashtag and temporary vinyl decal for it.... a lot of car groups do it, and you are able to find so much video and photo content online when they know what to tag. I don't have FB or use Instagram. I'm on twitter or reddit a bit. But it would be nice.

Thanks again everyone!
Here is an event, while not Norcal, is in Santa Barbara (central Cal?) I'm new(-ish at this point) to Jags but I guess it's a big deal to have this in your country, let alone state...
JCNA International Jaguar Festival 2018 - Santa Barbara, California October 31st - November 4th

Hey East Coasters, just noticed on Hemmings that there is a Jaguar Event at Watkins Glen, I believe starting 9/6/18 FWIW.

Misujerr,
With regard to the Santa Barbara event, I believe forum member Ralphwg from the X150 forum is in charge of organizing a driving event from Southern California during that period of time.n I know I have spoken to Ralph a couple of times about it. He is working on the route, now, as he will be out of town during the actual drive but is close to completing it last I spoke with him. I will give him a call this weekend and see if I can get any more information.

Thanks tberg, that's great! But I fear that I might not be able to make it either...

I actually saw two F-Types in the wild today on my commute. One going in; a white V8S convertible with Texas tags, on 24 West, then Fish Ranch Rd. to Grizzly Peak. One coming home; a very dark with bluish tint V6S convertible, on 24 East. That's an unusual event here. I often don't see another for months.

I just realized thx-1138 would fit on a license plate. But that's neither here nor there. I have this thing where I purposely Misread license plates as badly as I possibly can.

So, "thanks Mr. Iowa" 👍👌😜

I think one of the cars in "American Graffiti" had a "THX 1138" license plate. Haven't seen either film in ages, but I remember the protagonist in the latter was wanted for "criminal drug evasion."

For sure it did! Also, he made many easter eggs off his student/1st film. There's a bunch in SW: https://www.starwars.com/news/beyond...8-in-star-wars

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a teaching assistant for a psychology class in which one of my students had to leave school, mid-semester to act in the movie, American Graffiti. He was a humble, very nice, and smart young man named Ronnie Howard. He's done quite well for himself, ever since.
