Oregon/Washington get together
I've seen three or four other Oregon Jag owners in the XK8/R forum. How about a get together one Saturday or Sunday?
We could check out a few wineries or a cruise around our back roads then a stop for lunch. Or a cruise to the coast and a lunch. Or just a get together to meet each other face to face?
There are not that many XK Jaguars in our area and a lot of people suffer from whiplash trying to get a second look as you drive by.
Hope to be able to get together soon.

Nothing planned yet. We need more people to speak up so we can plan something.
What or where would you like to do/go? A cruise to the coast or around Mt. Saint Helens or a cruise to some of the covered bridges in the Scio area for photo ops? There are a few covered bridges in the coast area too.
A trip to the coast and lunch at the Oregon Brewing Co. or the Pelican ??? (forgot the whole name) on the coast. This is another micro brew company with a nice restaurant.
Or just a meeting to shoot the breeze or a get together to help someone change their break pads and/or rotors or ??? suggestions needed!

I'm game! I'm afraid I'll have to leave the organizing up to others as I'm also getting busy otherwise; got a lot of weekends already planned with the horses and it's only 162 days until the man burns. I'm racking up miles between Tacoma and Portland and willing to add a few more hundred to the cause.
Since I'm one to do my own work on the car I'd really enjoy an occasional BS/tech session.
Anything south of Vancouver BC and North of California works for me.

Oregon/Washington Jag get together
I'm very new to this forum and to owning an 'S' jag, but it sounds like a fun time if it happens. I'm from Salem, Oregon and have a pretty flexible summer, actually. I'll watch the post and see if it materializes. I'll admit, I'm a previous Caddy lover, so all this 'jag' talk is foreign to me,,,,can't wait! I hope I love owning a jag as much as I have fantasized about owning one! I'll have a lot to talk about after owning awhile! I hope it's mostly positive! LOL

Welcome to a new world of driving!
There's an informal GTG at the Kaiser Starbucks in that new shopping mall right off of the freeway, just south of the ball field. Vettes, Cobras, Panos, Vipers, Lambo's, and others gather around the last Saturday of the month. They usually start in May but there's talk that due to nice weather they're talking about starting the last Saturday of April.
Usually this runs from 7 to 9 or so and they is talk of bumping the time up to 9 to 11. Usually when everyone leaves they leave in car make groups and head out for a cruise. This might be a good place to gather and shoot the bull and get to know one another.
We would be the only Jags there. Last year there were a mess of Vipers and Vettes etc. but not one Jag except for my XK8. We'll stand out for sure! That's one XK8, and XJ and your S... That's a start!

With the 2010 car season just around the corner, many of us have already enjoyed a mild winter and early spring that gave us a chance to fire up the toys and stretch the legs of favorite ride. Keizer Cars & Coffee is entering it's third year, and I hope you enjoy this season as we are trying to incorporate a couple of fund raisers and group outing.
Like years past we will meet the last Saturday of every month from May through September at the the Starbucks at Keizer Station just off the freeway exit of I-5 and the Keizer Exit. We meet from 7:30 - 9:30am for a cup of joe, smile and a chance to appreciate each others toys.
May 29th (Food Drive)
Bring what you can as we will gather donations of can and dry foods to give to a local food bank for those in our community that have had challenges associated to the current economic downturn.
June 26th (Griots Garage Roadtrip)
Come join us for some early coffee then those who want to make a fun little roadtrip will drive up to Tacoma to checkout the new Griot's Garage facilty and do a little shopping.
July 10th (Portland Historics)

I think it would be fun! I already know Doug and he's a great Jaguar enthusiast. I have a friend that just bought a XK8 here in Eugene. Picking a weekend may be tough, but the Keizer get together in May might be a great start to all get to know each other better, touring preferences, etc. The Oregon Coast Exotic Car Show at Salishan is coming up in June.

I was hoping to be at the first one with my 03 stype...
I was looking forward to getting to meet some jag owners for the KC &C at Starbucks, but we already had plans to go to Boise for Memorial Day weekend. I'll try for the June meeting. I'm disappointed to say the least.
