On Sep 19, 2021 a group of Seattle Jaguar Club members met for dinner at The Big Fish Grill in Woodinville, WA.

Seated clockwise around table were Sue Kingston, Sharon Case, John Blackburn, Ray Papineau, Lisa and Kent Wiken, Cheryl Jacobson, Trish Blackburn, Brian Case, Paul Petach. Sue and Sharon had fun discussing a common interest in Koi!

Brian had Paella and Paul had Seafood Jambalaya. Yummmm

Another photo, just to get one with Kurt Jacobson in it.

Everyone was done and just enjoying some conversation.

A good time was had by all.

Seattle Jaguar Club

The Seattle Jaguar Club met at RW Auto Classics in Monroe WA on 9/18/21 for a tour of the vast collection of parts they have.

The building used to be a very large horse stable. Sad to see the loss of a horse stable but they have done a great job converting it and making good use of the space.

Sean Riedel, far left, started off our tour with the basic run down. How they got started, how they have grown.

Jesse Rumens, second from left, picked up the story. They specialize in British car parts.

Matt Wittmier, second from left, gave us his background with the company. Far right is Ray Papineau.

Far right is Ray Wittmier who is Matt Wittmier's father. He and Ray Papineau seemed to have a connection, their first names!

Jesse explained how they buy up whole collections of parts from various sources.

They have thousands of parts and it is a never ending task to catalog them all.

They recommended calling them if you are looking for something specific and they can see if they have it.

L-R, Mike Hunsley, Steve Walls, Kurt Jacobson, Brian Case.

L-R, Ehab Sahawneh, Sean Riedel, Matt Wittmier, Doug Jackson.

Jaguar XJ S-C is for sale.

Jesse Rumens on right seems to be entertaining Kurt and Ray with his stories.

Rare Arnolt Bristol, one of 142 built and one of approximately 85 remaining.

We were treated with the story of how Jesse won a bidding battle when the other bidder's phone line was cutoff.

The tour continued around the warehouse.

And around the warehouse.

And people got to look around and have some conversations.

Impressive collection of camshafts.

Racks and racks of parts.

I like this one for the colorfulness!

Kurt and Ehab might be discussing the kissing E-Type bonnets.

Members could wander around at their leisure and have a chance to catch up with other members.

Or wander alone and look for that one part they need!

Kurt looks lost among the racks and racks of parts.

Seemed like the parts never ended.

L-R, Doug Jackson, Martha Carpena and Steve Walls.

And the parts continued upstairs!

Not your typical salvage yard!

A gazillion parts and a few cars for sale.

They put on an impressive spread for our club members to enjoy. L-R, Doug Jackson, Sean Riedel, Brian Case and Bill Holmes.

Doug Jackson can attest to the food being finger licking good!

At the end of the tour Ehab traded a transmission with Matt.

Cars just arriving. The Redmond Towne Center was a great location for the Exotics car show-British Day held Sep 11th.

It was an amazing and colorful collection of vehicles.

Colorful!

It was fun walking up and down trying to take in all the great cars!

I like Kurt's description of a line of Skittles.

There were a variety of cars! Bug Eye Sprites in Front and Aston Martins in the background.

One area was filled with McLarens.

The center circle, by the fountains, was filled with the cars the staff liked the best. In case you can't tell which is which, one on the left is new Project 8 belonging to Tony Grayson and the one on right is 1973 E Type 2+2 belonging to Brian Case.

Tony Grayson standing behind the XE SV Project 8. One of only 300 produced. Look at the Oct JagMag for more information on this car.

Project 8 on the rear spoiler.

Tony Grayson with his Project 8 was on the cover of the Oct JagMag. Go read the article!

John Schwartz and his 2010 XKR. His license plate describes his job! Brad Vancour on right.

2000 XK8 belongs to Tino and Sheila Pascua. They quickly disappeared. I'm guessing Sheila wanted to shop!

Brad and John discussing cars?

2010 XKR convertible belongs to Brad Vancour.

Not sure why, but Brad was pointing out every nick and ding to John.

John Holmes brought his Old English white 1956 XK140 OTS. John with black jacket & cap and behind him is Bill Holmes, his son.

Holmes XK140 OTS again. Funny how the lighting/angle can make the paint look white white in this picture but off white in another.

2018 F-Type convertible in British Racing Green. I took this picure at 7:40am and Maura and Lennon Shank signed up for membership in the Seattle Jaguar Club at 8:07am. My greatest success story!

Their F Type with BARNS license plate. You know I love vanity plates. Need to find out the story behind this one!

Non-member, Phil Torres in front of his Series 1 1970 XJ6. He is trying to sell it so I couldn't talk him into joining the club!

XKR and its owner, non-member, Brian McLean.

Never did find out who belongs to this nice looking E-Type.

There is that E-Type again with unknown owner!

Never found out who belongs to this jag either.

1966 green E-Type FHC belongs to member David Bosworth. His son Doug, behind car, had driven it to the Exotics.

1967 white E-Type belongs to non-member Fatin Kara.

Really nice looking XK140 belongs to non-member Ron, who also owns the grey/silver Bentley with Pebble Beach license plate.

Just look at the clouds in the sky reflected in the shine on that XK140!

Interior of the XK140.

Look at those clouds again! How does he get that shine?

This Bentley was another vehicle brought by Ron. He talked about driving this to Pebble Beach.

Julian Pace came to drool over the the exotic cars. Taking picture of Tony's Project 8.

Julian Pace and Tony Grayson talking cars.

1957 XK140 and its owner, Greg Whitten. I had no clue who he was. Then Kurt sent me links to his wikipedia page and a Road & Track interview and a video on his garage! Wow!

I love that color!

A close up of decal on XK140 belonging to Greg Whitten.

You might notice me getting Greg Whitten to enter his email address on my phone. I wanted to be able to send him stuff on our club and talk him into joining. Hasn't worked so far…..

Greg couldn't understand why I wanted him to pose with his Jaguar when he had also brought this #42 Austin Healy racing car which, apparently, was much more valuable and probably has a story.

Kurt went up on the balcony for some shots from on high. That's me waving, next to that car I couldn't find the owner for.

A Beautiful Classic Bentley

Capital B for Bentley.

Ehab brought his 1950 XK120. He arrived late but everyone loves his car and let him pull into the main circle, by the fountains.

Is John Holmes admiring Ehab's car or wondering how he got into the center circle when he arrived so late and John got there super early to get in the center circle?

Kent Wiken on left and Tony Grayson on right, looking at that Project 8!

Brian Case enjoys answering everyone's questions about the E-Type and just talking cars!

It was a fun day! Everyone was enjoying the cars.

Oh to be a child playing in the fountains!

It was such a lovely day to stroll around such extraordinary cars!

And the Towne Center was lovely. Definitely want to go again next year!

Beautiful dogs posed in front of a beautiful car!

Jaguar Owners Club of Oregon (JOCO) Joined with the Portland ABFM event and sponsored a JCNA sanctioned Concours. In addition to the Concours there was the Sovern Columbia River Classics vintage sports car races at the Portland International Raceway and they had a large swap meet on Sunday. The Land Rover Adventure Rides were cancelled due to Covid but I hope they have them in 2022, sounded like fun. The Portland ABFM had a lot of things to do at this event.

JOCO had lots of banners.

The field was well organized for lining up the Jaguars.

And it was a really nice day!

Did they really drive from New Jersey for this ABFM event?

This 1964 3.8S belonging to Steve and Kathy Bates from Hockinson WA was such a pretty color. Reminds me of the Regency Red color of the Cases' E-Type!

Can you see Austria getting her car ready for the judging?

Still judging…

Austria looks so calm!

L-R, David Adelsman, Sharon Case, Austria Gracey, Kurt Jacobson, Cheryl Jacobson and Bill Buegel. Everyone from the Seattle Jaguar Club that entered the JOCO Concours went home with an award. I liked Kurt's line in the JagMag that said "Their Jaguars returned with Oregon Plates"

Unusual paint job caught my eye!

There was someone playing bag pipes for entertainment!

A variety of food vendors were available.

They had a nice area setup with picnic tables to sit and eat and enjoy some conversation.

And then there are the other, non-Jaguar, cars.

1958 Lister Knobly belongs to Steven Laremore of LaCenter, WA.

It is nice to see when people have some history on the older vehicles.

I love reading Vanity plates as I drive around and I can't help but take pictures of them at events.

This is a fun one from Oregon.

I had to look up this one. Based on what I see I think it means The Truth, The Whole Truth. But I could be wrong.

How appropriate!

MMEEOW belongs to JOCO member Seth Schenker on his XKR.

Very Good, Jeeves!

Does this qualify as a double entendre?

Simple but nice!

Fun! And that describes the Portland ABFM and JOCO Concours event!

Seattle Jaguar Club

Ray Papineau with his XKSS replica and Debbie Read in her XK150. A few members left the WWABFM event and caravanned up to Arlington to attend. They put on a great show with aerial acrobatics, a bomber, hot air balloons and 100 lighted drones putting on quite the performance!

Ray had some fun with taking his steering wheel off and blaming it on the children!

Parents enjoyed taking pictures of the kids!

The kids had fun! Debbie and Glen look like they are having fun too!

Brian loves talking to people about his 1973 E-Type (the old). Austria Gracey brought her 2016 F-Type R (the new)

Glen Read was there also.

There was quite a variety of cars at the Skyfest Car Show.

B25 bomber put on a performance.

After dark it was fun watching the lighted balloons. Shown here with Brian's E-Type and Glen's XK150.

They lit up the balloons in time to some music. You had to be there!

After the balloons, the lighted drones, about 100 of them, put on a performance. They made a balloon shape.

They formed into circles

The circles floated around.

You really needed to be there to appreciate the choreography of 100 drones flowing seamlessly from one shape to another.

Here they flowed into a star shape.

And of course, the shape of an airplane. And the plane wasn't static, it flew around.

The drones finale was this banner.
