For anyone considering coming along, but unsure whether to or not please come along and join the rest of us.. you know the itinery from further back in the thread.. it is a fantastic chance to put faces (and cars) to names from the forums, to meet everyone in a great location with the sea in front of you, the promenades as the backdrop.. Harwoods Jaguar will be in attendance, we have a great deal on food so you won't go hungry, there will be group photos etc for the forums, I am trying to get us into the local paper with photos, and last but by far the best thing is you will get to see a wide range of Jaguars, different models, engine capacities, and ages all in the one place.. other people there to advise you on any issues you may have with your Jaguar, you may well have tips for other owners.. it is going to be a great day out - a Jaguar sort of TopGear day! And that isn't all - we are also running a convoy down the A23 - a huge block of Jaguars travelling in convoy from Crawley to Brighton.. far enough for a convoy but not so far as to strain any classic Jaguars that may come along.. so if you are undecided please read through the thread, and maybe put your name forward for a great day out!

OK - just as a reminder, and if you are wondering whether to come along here is the final itinerary for the convoy and meet... please track me down when you arrive on the day - I'll have an info pack for you, including a dashboard info sheet to complete and pop on the dashboard when you park.. I can be contacted on the day by email at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk, or whatsapp or sms at 07914 116375 if you need to get hold of me for any reason.

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know when you need to be where...
08:00 Meet at Pease Pottage Service Station at the base of the M23
08:15 Depart in convoy for Brighton (cruising speed 65mph)
09:00 Park up in one large parking block in Madiera Drive as close to the Pier end as we can.
09:30-10:30 Big Breakfast in Seagulls Cafe – meal + tea/coffee for £5 when quoting the secret squirrel code to be supplied on the day :-)
10:30 General social events etc. start
11:30 Group signings of banner, and group photos for the forums
The parking is pay and display at this location and is £10 for four hours or £15 for 12 hours. Your meal will be £5.00 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget

That's pretty much it.. the lists are still open should anyone else want to come along and join in.. I will update them as we go, and if we do manage to get the newspaper coverage I'll let you know as well..


Other than that I very much look forward to meeting on the day..


All the best, Steve

Today is the last day I will be updating the threads until the day of the event.. I need to get the usual weekend things done and *try* to get my baby jag cleaned up and presentable for Sunday :-) ..
On Sunday you need to track me down (Blue X-Type RN02CVS) for your itinerary sheet, dashboard info sheet and any freebies I can sort, when you arrive at Pease Pottage Service Station, or Madeira Drive - I can also then get a reasonably accurate idea of who has made it, might be late, or can't make it, for the forum writeup.
Currently everyone looks to be good for the meet with just Candellara, Johnny1Jag, and Mark8 not sure they can actually make it on the day.
The weather is supposed to be brightening up in time for Sunday so hopefully we will have a good day. Don't forget we have got Harwoods Jaguar attending, and part of the info I will be handing out is the code for the fixed price breakfast :-)
I'll put up the latest and most current list of who is coming towards the end of today along with the itinerary - anyone else wanting to come along is welcome to post that they want to come, and I'll pick up the info on the day....
All the best
Steve

This is pretty much the last call for anyone considering coming along but undecided.. this Sunday is a great chance to meet the other forum members and their cars.. why not come along?
We will have cars ranging in age from 1984 right through to now, everything from a V6 through to V8 and V12 engines, even a showroom F-Type coupe will be in attendance from Harwood Jaguar. It's a great chance to socialise over a big breakfast or brunch at a fixed price, there will be group photo's, a forum banner you need to sign for posterity, and genuine Jaguar chat with others who share exactly the same interest - Jaguar cars.. Hopefully newspapers will be attending to cover the event, and members of public interested in our cars will come over to say Hello..
This is the second Brighton Convoy/Meet with another in planning for December, and plans afoot for a sponsored meet in May next year as well - so why not come along and become part of Jaguar history in the making with this event being the second of many to come? Just pop a post up on the forum here, or email me at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk or sms me at 07914 116375, or you can WhatsApp me.. if you can't make this convoy/meet but would like to attend the next one please let me know as I am already taking bookings :-)
This is going to be a great TopGear sort of day but Jaguar specific.. everything from a large convoy from Crawley to Brighton (an easier journey than London to Brighton) appearing in Brighton making a huge Jaguar statement as we arrive at Madiera Drive and park up. Making the local cafe there a Jaguar eating place, catching up with who is who etc before heading back out to the cars to socialise and view the cars before banner signing, and group photos showing the event off on the forums. So if you are free on the day please consider coming along and joining in the event..

OK - here is the final itinerary for the convoy and meet... please track me down when you arrive on the day (blue X-Type RN02CVS) - I'll have an info pack for you, including a dashboard info sheet to complete and pop on the dashboard when you park.. I can be contacted on the day by email at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk, or whatsapp or sms at 07914 116375 if you need to get hold of me for any reason. The lists won't be updated any further until the day of the meet as I will be offline but please post on here, or contact me by sms or whatsapp, or email if you want to come and are not listed yet, or have a query, and I'll try to sort there and then or on the day.

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know whats happening and when...
08:00 Meet at Pease Pottage Service Station at the base of the M23
08:15 Depart in convoy for Brighton (cruising speed 65mph)
09:00 Park up in one large parking block in Madiera Drive as close to the Pier end as we can.
09:30-10:30 Big Breakfast in Seagulls Cafe meal + tea/coffee for 5 when quoting the secret squirrel code to be supplied on the day :-)
10:30 General social events etc. start
11:30 Group signings of banner, and group photos for the forums
The parking is pay and display at this location and is 10 for four hours or 15 for 12 hours. Your meal will be 5.00 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget

That's pretty much it.. the lists are still open should anyone else want to come along and join in.. I will update them as we go, and if we do manage to get the newspaper coverage I'll let you know as well..

Other than that I very much look forward to meeting on the day..

All the best, Steve

p.s. I will have a sharpie with me for banner signing, and completing the dashboard info sheets but if you could bring one as well just in case I would be grateful :-)

As you know I had to drop out because my S-type 4.0 shat its big end bearings (turned out not the be the 'box in the end), and was going to go in Geekman's car instead. I'm looking at an X308 XJ8 tomorrow AM, so if I pick that up I'll come in that instead. Will try to remember to update you by tomorrow though.

Just a very quick update - yep at 5:45am :-) So far it looks like a couple of people wont be able to make it tomorrow however I am happy to welcome Andy Ross in an S-Type 2.7D SE + 2 to the convoy and meet.. additionally at 11am there should be an Aston DB7 joining us which will be great to see - and apologies to Nembsbe - I got his car wrong it is actually a 2014 XFR Sport 3.0 - all this will be listed in the final notes after the meet :-) *but* I wanted to at least let everyone know..

See you all tomorrow (after I've finally had a chance to clean my baby Jag up later :-))

Steve
