Really sad that I could not make it
Very nice you could though

Look forward to the next meeting!

 

Here are the Dyno Results. First one is from the Goodies Dyno (also at the event and also $75). It's a DynoPack and typically shows higher power. I'm putting out 313 at the rear wheels which (adjusting for the tranny) should be 389 at the crank. The second one is on the Superflow and shows Marc's numbers against mine. His is a 2006 that has the upper pully and xpipe/mina mods also he has around 70,000 more miles than on my 2004. Looks like he is pulling 25 more ponies at the rear wheels. I'm using this calculator to convert rear wheel hp to crank HP (out of the UK): http://www.mk5cortinaestate.co.uk/calculator4.php

 

what a great day that was.
I had a blast and the XJS made it

 

Massive turn out and fun too! Some new bay area Jags and owners too.
I think this is going to work! Great excuse to drive, eat and chat.

Let's keep it going! If you see a Jag - tell them about the forum and the monthly events!

Pics to follow or at least a zip file. Size limitations kill for uploads.

 

When is the next meeting? Aug 12th?

 

I could do the 12th just need a location.

 

Aug 12th is good for me....

For location, I've never been to the Blackhawk museum over in Danville....... looks like a nice place with nearby shops for the ladies !

 

So should we lock in at Blackhawk for August 12th say around 11?

3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle • Danville, CA 94506 • 925.736.2277

 

Sounds like a great place for the next meeting!

 

Ok Blackhawk 8/12/12 @ 11

 

Sounds good, how about the food?! where can we eat?

 

Cars and Caffeine is on the 11th this month. I'll be there again (I'm adicted) in case anyone else wants to come. Same place.

I'll be at Blackhawk too if that is still on, or likely even if it isn't given I've never been.

 

I live next to Walnut Creek, but I grew up in your town of Los Gatos

 

I'll probably make it. That was awesome last time.

I want to get my car dynod on the same machine as yours and Marc's so we can compare apples to apples as we have some different mods planned

 

I may run mine again and get another baseline, just put on an X-Pipe muffler and wonder if it provided a boost. Also the car feels faster after the Sea Foam treatment for some reason.

 

Come on guys, don't keep it all to yourselves. Let's see some pics of the next get together.

Apologies Sir !

The XJS didn't break down.... it was cooling off



....would be nice if someone could bring a "standard non-limited edition" XK at some point gents !





Another "proper Jaaagg"



@Shawn --> let me know if you are going to Blackhawk this Sunday and if you still want my XJS fan

 

Lets keep this Jag train arolling and get a new car/member every month or so, if possible.

Looking forward to the event!

So it the 12th at 11am in front of the Museum?

Anyone know of a nearby cafe for brunch, suggestions?

 

Hi guys - the museum is right next to the Blackhawk Plaza and there are quite a few decent options for coffee/food in there. Check out the directory below.

Dear All

I took the liberty of contacting the museum to alert them to our planned trip...... I asked if we could have some space allocated to us for staging the cars........ I got a really nice reply......

Your email was just forwarded to me by my boss who has been out of the office and therefore, I’m sorry to get back to you so late. By all means, you are welcome to bring your jaguars up to the front of the museum and park them on the plaza if you like. I will inform the front desk to expect all of you at about 11 am on the 12th. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

I think the plaza they are referring to is this one......

....... if so that will make for some really nice pictures. Looking forward to another great day out. See you there this Sunday @ 11am
