Both would be nice but I would settle for the Jag.

The second part would be great. as far as good curry? Guess my palat is not as fine as y'alls.

I will stick with Southr'n BBQ, Texas Brisket, and Good Old Wisconsin Brauts, boiled in Beer and onions then tossed on a grill to brown.

and I happen to like English Pub food very much.

For those of you who dont know what Leine is .

Its an American micro brewery ..... who make a really good beer , not like Bud or Pabst ..... unfortunatly it was bought by Miller ..... but the brew is still the same as ever , good !!! ..... Properly known as "Leinenkugel" .....

Have I got the spelling correct ?

lolg Ding split the difference.

Thursday. Then staying up and putting on a Driving school on Monday and Tuesday for as our buddy Sam likes to say, the yellow tractors car club.

and I am Danish myself ( or a two generations back came from Denmark )

Danisch, and Scandinavian in general, tend to serve good coffee. With Anglo-American quantities, but qualitie akin to Italy, you get real value for money. Especially since they tend to serve very good pastry's with them. A nice coffee can offcourse be very welcome, ecpecially when you're not watching stars in Tertre Rouge, but grey clouds losing a lot of water...
BTW in today's paper some numbers about obesity where publisched. the UK and USA didn't differ much; respectively 62,5% and 65% of the population is to heavy. Denmark and Sweden where just over 50%, and rounded up the European top 10. Belgium was 11th, wich isn't that bad when you think that the 3 best things about Belgium are the fries, the beer and the chocolate.

Apparently this came from same presentation:

"We want to hit the Le Mans race, for which we are already re-examining whether we can bring back the Jaguar brand to its earlier state," Ratan Tata, chairman, Tata Motors, said at the company's annual general meeting earlier this week.

Also, this was spotted in the Aston thread, but it has little things about Jaguar on the 3rd page:

Jaguar. OK, rules for-off-the-record conversations - especially 5.00am ones - with Chairmen, CEOs, MDs or anyone who gets to sign off a bill that runs well into seven figures are rather like privy counsel conversations; they never actually happened. But I can tell you this with absolute certainty - Jaguar wants to do an LMP programme and go for an eighth win (to match Audi) in 2010. Ask Jaguar MD Mike O'Driscoll to confirm, and he'll confirm the will, if not exactly the intent.

JAG · 6 Aug 2008, 17:46 (Ref:2264649)

Jaguar have a road car lineup to be proud of, now they need to show theres some substance behind the flash and kick the likes of Audi's backside, and for that matter Aston Martin who've been trying to lure British fans, and ultimately potential customer.

Jaguar is Le Mans.

**Adam43** · 6 Aug 2008, 18:42 (Ref:2264696)

*cough* X-Type *cough*.

Winning at Le Mans makes people love them. Maybe just maybe that will help us view them as we once did. It worked for Egan.

Pilgrimage · 7 Aug 2008, 15:32 (Ref:2265366)

July 30 issue of Autocar’

"Word is that Tata sees Jag as being more of a sporting brand than a luxury one"

JAG · 7 Aug 2008, 18:05 (Ref:2265458)

Jaguar are more BMW than Mercedes, but you need a constant track presence to maintain that sporting image.

An LMP1 program would be the headliner, but the XKR could push the brand in the multitude of national GT series.

gucom · 7 Aug 2008, 18:33 (Ref:2265474)

Wow I'm very pleasantly surprised by Tata, he seems to acknowledge the soul and history of the brand very well!

On the indian food part, do you brits also know the bara? It's delicious! easily my favourite snack in any cuisine!

thereal_tdb · 7 Aug 2008, 20:30 (Ref:2265548)

As i understand it, it will be a long term programme, GT2 to start, then GT1 till they win and then a possible LMP programme. but more likely staying in GT1
The focus will be on promoting the roadcar.

Oh and it won't be Apex.

JAG · 12 Aug 2008, 16:08 (Ref:2267898)

After a start in GT2, I'd be very dissapointed if Jaguar didn't go for the overall win in P1.

The challenges for overall wins is were Jaguar's sporting heritage was gained.

The Jaguar brand has already wasted a stack of cash in F1, don't compound that mistake by settling for being a bit part player. GT2/GT3 will only ever be good enough to prove the sporting credentials of a specific model and, if managed correctly, be a great customer business. To prove you're a world class brand, you need to compete for overall wins, unless Jaguar are content to live in the shadow of Audi, Aston Martin etc.

Jaguar are still dinning out on overall wins 20 years ago, a class win doesn't hold that weight.

Is that on both those points Graham? ie Class and Team

JAG · 12 Aug 2008, 18:08 (Ref:2267971)

Apex always said they hoped to encourage Jaguar back into top flight racing, they've done the groundwork and proven themselves with Bentley afterall.

That makes me feel sick.

I suspect the later will happen. At the moment a successful campaign is all talk. Lets go.
