We have finally been given clearance to give a slightly clearer picture of whats on offer, please see below.

This will be an all expenses paid trip to London from, on or around the 6th Sept to the 10th Sept approx inclusive, to the World premiere of the Jaguar XE launch.


A dedicated Jaguar / Spark44 employee will be with you to facilitate the experience throughout.

Link

To be considered for this there are certain criteria that must be met, as below.......

1. X type owner
2. Age range 35-45 ( a little leeway may be given on this for the right candidate )
3. Resides in the USA
4. Social media user
5. Current passport



Expectations are as follows....

1. Create thread documenting the whole experience and impressions on Jaguarforums.com
2. Share experience on social media channels whilst at event.
3. Consider participating in future XE events held in North America

Please check the above and reply to this post if you can say YES to all of the above to be considered for the short list asap



Please note - we can only advise Jaguar of possible candidates for this event. The final selection process will include the 5 points requested as well as forum posts count etc and is totally outwith our control.


Good luck to all

Hi Jim,
I am a Consumer Pkgd Goods consultant and have experience covering events similar to these including Nonwovens and Packaging shows in Europe.


I'm a yes on all depending the leeway on age.

Maybe that's the prize for all of us that do not fit into the age requirements.....or it should be!

Send Thermo.

He's likely the most deserving fellow on the forum. He's only helped 100% of the people who have posted questions here.

(Too bad he'll probably spend more time with his head under the bonnet that seeing the sights, but oh well... !!!)


I'd love to go, but I can stay home and drink warm beer, too.

yeah... send Chris Coleman and K'Re Ann.

7,572 posts deserve recognition, and you just know he will do a helluva job with the write-ups.

Thanks Bruce, kind comments on Thermo and rightly so I guess....

Unfortunately, all we can do is make a list of all prospects as it were and pass to Jaguar to decide, It is they who will have the final say, who, if anyone meets their criteria set.

We all await their decision with bated breath.

If I'm honest, I'm a little peeved that they don't want someone from the UK....I'd love to go...lol

Jim

If I go, I go, if not, so be it. Life is what you make of it, not what is handed to you. I only got where I am by not using the words "I Can't". Even if you don't succeed with something, you are still ahead because you learned something along the way and the next time you do it, you will be that much further ahead.

Well, all the candidates have been put forward, as is, with all relevant info.


Its now in the hands of Jaguar to see who / if anyone is chosen to proceed.


We'll be back at some point in the near future to advise the outcome hopefully.
