"JAGUARS MEET IN ALICANTE

MEETING OF THE JAGUAR ENTHUSIASTS´CLUB IN SPAIN, TORRELLANO (ALICANTE), 27 JANUARY 2013

BIG CATS & PURRRRRRFECT WEATHER

28 January 2013.- We are so fortunate here in Spain to be blessed with beautiful weather most of the time, even in January when most of the rest of Europe is still gripped in the icy talons of a Northern hemisphere winter. Even here in Spain we had suffered bitterly cold high winds sweeping south from the Pyrenees. However on Sunday 27th January we woke up to clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine, a great day to take the beloved “Big Cat” out for a drive. This first meeting of the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club for 2013 took place at Restaurant Los Almendros in Torrellano, near Alicante Airport, our usual meeting place. I wish to thank all those who attended the meeting and brought along their beautiful cars. On arrival it was so warm we sat outside to partake of a “tipple” or two, while we waited for all the members to arrive.

Recently I appointed Ian & Uschi McMenemy as JEC Events Managers. This was the first meeting they had organised and what a terrific job they did. Eventually we had 25 beautiful Jaguars and 55 people. I would like to thank them both for all their hard work which helped make the day such a great success. Even with just 25 cars all lined up and glistening in the sun, it really was a sight to behold and it attracted quite a few ordinary members of the public admiring the cars and taking pictures.

The old regulars were there as usual, some good examples of XK’s and XKR’s. An E type’s graced the ranks, a new Jaguar XF saloon and a number of XJ’s in various models and of course “The Guvnors” XK8 Convertible. XJS’s, more XK8’s, and a number of S Types completed the line up this time. Where else can you see such a line up of perfectly sculptured steel? For those people who are about to give in to the urge to own a Jaguar, included in the line up were an E type, an XJS and a fabulous XK8 convertible which are all for sale. Not only did we have fantastic vehicles from across the Jaguar spectrum but we had a phenomenal range of different people, of course we had good old Brits but also we had people from Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France and even Scotland and the Isle of Man.

For this meeting, we had planned a presentation on ECU remapping from Roadstar but the representative cancelled at the last minute which was disappointing but these things happen. Restaurant Los Almendros looked after us as usual the lunch was exceptional, the famous Los Almendros bread with tomato and aioli, a plate of cured hams and salami, a salad stack, deep fried baby squid. The main course was a choice on slow roast pork on the bone or sword fish. Followed by dessert. Wine, water, beers and beautiful aromatic coffee. Just fabulous food at an amazing price. It is worth coming to the meetings just for the lunch alone!

After the group photographs and a last chat, people started to depart just after 4:30pm and it was still warm enough to sit outside, we finished our drinks then made our way home. One other piece of news, I am really pleased to announce the appointment of Damien Albaiges who has agreed to start a region of the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club in the Cataluna area. Damien, a lawyer by profession, lives in Reus, Tarragona. Damien can be contacted by Email at art.ball@yahoo.es

For the future, we are planning to hold the JEC meetings on the last Sunday of each month, therefore the next meeting will be on 24th February 2013 at our usual meeting place, Restaurant Los Almendros in Torrellano. For details of our future events contact Ian or Uschi at McMenemy@JEC-events.com"
