[JONAT] Support & Other Issues

[Dr Gregory Andrachuk]

Jamie: I am with you: let's keep it simple, keep the responsibility on the
participants, and let's have fun:   fewer complications = more fun.

: I've been holding my response to the "sag wagon" issue.  But I guess I'll
: have to jump in here at some point and it may as well be now.
:
: I feel much like Steve does with regard to the AAA or towing coverage one
: should have on their insurance.  And as far as a place to work on the
cars,
: get work done or procure parts?  Well I like the idea of several
volunteers
: in each local area, perhaps fellow Tourers, stepping up for the place to
do
: some small repairs.  Otherwise it's better to take it to the Dealer or a
: Jaguar Specialist if that intense of a requirement should come up.
:
: I feel it will be difficult to provide constant "on site" support as it is
a
: huge undertaking due to expense and logistics.  I feel we are probably not
: going to be prepared to fully cover this for the first attempt at this
Tour.
: Perhaps in future renditions we will be able to grow the 'benefits
package'
: for Tour members to include a 'sag wagon' or some such support operation.
:
: But then this is only my opinion (as I watch this thing explode beyond
: belief).  One of my fears is that the Tour will expand to so many issues
: that we will not be able to keep control enough to provide a good service
in
: any area.  If we can just focus on the initial Tour concepts, do a good
job
: with them first, then think about more "bells & whistles" for future Tours
: as we learn what the actual parameters of managing an event of this scale
: require.
