suppose I will be the lone curmudgeon again, but I do NOT agree. Either
this is a Jaguar tour, or it is a British car tour. If it is a British
car tour, then of course all British car enthusiasts are welcome, but
this then removes much of the impetus for us Jaguar people to take on the
burden of organisation; it also removes much of the pleasure of
travelling with soul-mates; and it removes much of the basis for support
from Jaguar-related organisations (and it should be said that there are
frequent runs by other marque clubs and organisations. It was a JAGUAR
run that was envisioned.) Craig Talbot has mentioned a salient point:
there is no way of limiting the number of Marque X cars that participate
if it is phrased this way. I see no rationale for this at all. I vote
NAY. A last minute, emergency use of another vehicle by a Jaguar owner is
one thing (an undoubtedly there will be some of these); but an open
invitation to other British car owners to participate is quite another
thing. And then, why discriminate against Italian car owners? Bob, you
can come out now.<br>
