The Seattle Jaguar Club had a Wine Country Tour on Oct 2-3, 2021. Some of the members met at Charlie's, in Enumclaw, for the drive over. Here is Trish & John Blackburn and Cheryl Jacobson. Some of us ate breakfast there.

The jaguars picture are red E-Type belonging to Cases, Fawn E-Type belonging to Blackburns, black XKR belonging to Curt Kyle and the XK belonging to Jacobsons.

The drive was very scenic.

We had peeks of Mt Ranier along the way.

And there was the winding roads we all love.

We had a restroom break along the way. Cheryl looking at my long shadow. It was cold but sunny.

The view was spectacular.

Trish Blackburn dressed for the cold ride in their top down convertible.

Some more of those winding roads!

We ran into some of the smoke from wildfires. Made for interesting photos.

Trish commented on the wood burning smell from the wildfires.

And the V12 could not make it without a fuel stop.

There was another rest stop along the way. L-R Curt Kyle, Brian Case, Cheryl Jacobson, John Blackburn.

Nice shot of E-Type from Kurt.

Another stop along the way just to admire the view.

Here we are at the first winery where we had lunch at Terra Blanca Winery & Estate Vineyard.

The view at Terra Blanca was so pretty!

The entrance walkway to the winery was awesome. Lisa Wiken on left and Brian Case on right.

Everyone gathered around before going into lunch.

The front door to the winery was amazing. Kent and Lisa posed for me.

I got Lisa and Kent to pose in front of that walkway tunnel too

"After lunch we all drove to Brad Vancour's vineyard. Jaguars were lined up along the Yakima river. Really nice location. Old railroad bridge in backround."

Kurt standing by Brad Vancour's XKR. Behind that was Brandy Jensen's F-Type.

Kurt got a nice shot of the Blackburns' and Cases' E-Types along the river.

Brad Vancour put on quite a nice event at the vineyard/winery at his Red Mountain Inn rental property.

He provided wine from his personal vineyards!

Such a pleasant location along the river, some wine, members socializing.

Cats in the field.

I think Brad was talking about his house that used to be a train depot.

More socializing going on.

Brandy Jensen (waving) brought several friends to the wine tour.

Inside Brad Vancour's house.

Brad telling Cheryl about the house, which used to be a train depot and then was converted and added to.

The kitchen had an old world feel.

Even the addition was made to feel old.

Chickens were fun to watch.

I got Kurt to make a friend!

What a pleasant day to hang out with friends!

And drink some wine.

Sue Kingston, Jessica and Dick Camp on left.

And we all learned something new about wine & vineyards & grafting!

Brad Vancour was a gracious host, sharing some of his knowledge of growing grapes and making wine.

We left Brad Vancour's place and went to the next winery, the Hedges Family Estate. Nice views at the Hedges winery."

Nice shot of Dick and Jessica Camp with their Mark II, in spite of Ehab's antics.

Everyone gathered around, sampling wines at the Hedge's Family Estate.

We received some more education on wine and vineyards from Tom Hedges himself.

Tom Hedges was very knowledgeable!

I think everyone learned some things we never knew about growing grapes!

Brad added to Tom's talk and gave us his insights.

A toast by Lisa Moon and Steve Bird.

Now doesn't this look like we were in Europe?

Outside the Tasting Room.

What a pleasant location for wine tasting.

This was a great idea for an event in the fall.

Ehab and Samah, posed in front of their E-Type, with their purchase of wine in a special bottle which was etched and painted.

John and Trish Blackburn posed with their E-Type.

Chickens and vineyards must be a thing.

We left Hedges and checked into our hotel rooms. We stayed the night at the Hampton Inn in Richland, along the river.

There was a paddle wheel ship we could see from our hotel rooms.

The rooms we had at the hotel, overlooking the river, had a spectacular view.

We had dinner on Saturday evening at Michele's

The restaurant was very attractive inside.

We had a room just for our group.

Trish and John Blackburn and Janet and Andrew Hewiston.

Lisa and Kent Wiken. Kent was the one responsible for coordinating everything for this fantastic tour of the wineries.

Steve Bird and Lisa Moon pose for the photo.

Ehab and Samah posed for a photo.

I think At Michele's was a great choice for our dinner.

On Sunday morning Dick and Jessica Camp's 1964 Mark II had a problem starting and needed a little push.

Brian Case, John Blackburn, Douglas Jackson and Jessica helped push while Dick steered.

Dick was so calm about it all but he was a happy camper with the car running.

On Sunday many of us met at Treveri Cellars near Yakima. One more wine tasting before the end of our weekend!

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.

The annual Spring Thing event was held May 1, 2022. Everyone met at the Target in Bonney Lake.

It turned out to be a really nice day to gather with friends.

Line up of the F-Types! Kurt Hrubant & Patty McKerney, Wendy & Craig Duckering and Greg Hjelm with son Alex.

Kurt organized this event with a "Gimmick Rally". While Ehab got his XK120 ready Kurt started the drivers meeting. Thank you Kurt!!

We had a good turnout.

Here you see Samah already starting to fill out the answers to the gimmick questions. Just kidding!

L-R Ian McFall & Marjorie Brazier and Jim Sanders with his daughter Laura and Jeff Eisenstein.

We had a nice lineup of Jags!

I had not seen the Eisensteins' 1963 MkII before so that was nice.

Jeff and Sandi Eisenstein posed with their MkII.

The route that Kurt dreamed up was great. Went thru historic Wilkenson and Carbonado to this one-lane wide bridge and across the Enumclaw Plateau to Green River Rd.

The drive ended at PowellsWood Garden in Federal Way. It was a great place to have a picnic lunch and socialize with our friends and admire the cars!

Ian McFall and Marjorie Brazier with their S-Type.

In front is Craig Cootsona's E-Type.

Great picture of Diane Powell. She and Monty are so much appreciated for opening up their garden to the club!

Diane certainly deserved a hug from Ray Papineau!

It was a special time of year to see the garden in spring bloom!

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.

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.

Seattle Jaguar Club

Seattle Jaguar Club had an overnight drive started on Apr 23 2022. Everyone met in North Bend.

We stopped at a place called StoneHenge. Great opportunity for a group photo. Everyone was having a good time.

About Stonehenge.

Look familiar?

On a serious note, this was a memorial to military personnel who gave their lives in WWI.

Jags lined up again!

Another stop on the journey was at the MaryHill Museum of Art.

Interesting collections

I've never seen displays like these of miniatures showing the typical costumes of a period. The tiny detailes were amazing.

One section was devoted to Rodin

There were interesting sculptures in the garden too.

Bill & Marion Earl in front of their XJ6 sedan.

Next stop on the drive was at the Maryhill Winery.

Great place to relax with friends and sample some wine.

We all spent Saturday night at the Columbia Gorge Hotel

The grounds at the hotel were impressive.

There was an awesome waterfall right behind the hotel!

Dinner at the hotel

The WAAAM was an interesting place to visit.

Besides the autos and planes they had an eclectic mix of collections. This one was all fishing lures.

Did you ever lose a fishing lure and wonder what was down there to snag your line?

Impressive collection of old tractor models.
