“Dine & Dash” with John & Eleanor Bennett from Australia.

We hosted a gathering of Jaguar folks at our home today. These are all people who have met through the auspices of E-type forum/mailing list on Jag-Lovers.org. John Bennett and his wife Eleanor from Perth, Australia were visiting their son, who lives near Seattle. I volunteered to host a get-together so they could meet other “jag lovers” in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, true to form the Pacific Northwest put on misty rain for the event. As such a small fraction of the folks I invited managed to turn up. But we had three E-types (and two XJs) and did manage to go for a nice drive on some fun roads, with John having the chance to drive two different E-types: a S3 V-12 and a S1 car.

We had a great time, despite the weather.
