PRESIDENTS REPORT J U N 2010 Unmade roads, intermittent rain, 26 Jags and twice that many members. And all this for a sausage and a cup of tea. The run to Greenock Aviation museum was a great success from a club perspective and the aircraft and model displays could have kept us there all day. By the time you read this issue of CM, round two of the Super Sprints at Mallala would have been done and dusted. A detailed description will be in next month’s issue. As I mentioned last month, there is a danger of our club mag becoming just diary sheet if we don’t get more articles. The wealth of knowledge and experiences within our club is huge, so I’d like you all to think about putting pen to paper and send something to Pete Taylor. We shine nationally with our web site but lack depth with our magazine through lack of material. Don’t be shy or feel that you have to be a long time member to have something valid to say. I jumped right in as a new member and became closer to the club because of it.
that pulls the rug out from under the viewer’s newly owned confidence in their judgement. Now, as said viewer is wallowing in self pity you pull him back from the abyss by saying something nice again, almost restoring his self esteem but certainly not enough to make him thing you are nothing less than an automotive guru.
Easy really. Oh, and you must also go out and slide the car all over the track. Street cred is scored for clouds of tyre smoke and if you can actually break something then you are home and hosed. Wish I had a job like that.
Rick Luff
On another theme, I’ve just worked out what you have to do to be a car commentator. First of all you must practice sucking air in through clenched teeth prior to delivering each sentence. Chronic indigestion will help with your presentation however the most important requisite is to always be right, and on those rare occasions when you aren’t, then bully all those around you into giving up and accepting that you are.
When it comes to talking about actual cars, make sure you’re in something exotic and totally unaffordable when you infer that all punters should be in the market for one of these. Next thing is to say some nice things about the vehicle so the viewers will be thinking “yeah, that sounds reasonable. I agree with that. He thinks just like I do”. This must be quickly followed by a comment or two 4
REMINDER JAGUARS NEVER FORGET
But their owners sometimes do Renewals have all been posted out and I would like to thank those Members who have returned their Membership forms and log books. After the 26/07/2009 I will be on holidays and will not be doing any more Renewals for year 2010/2011. If you are not financial and have not rejoined by the 26/07/2010 you will possibly have to pay a rejoining fee. Members who have not renewed and currently have their Vehicles on Historic Registration are no longer legally allowed to drive their Vehicles and JDCSA have to inform the Department of Motor Registration.

Forums are OK to ask questions, however you may have an answer someone is looking for and not be aware they looking for it. Di sent out an email request for a spare part to all Register members and had a reply within 2-3 hours. Regalia still require some people to share in taking responsibility for goods.

EFI Injector cleaner in fuel - now OK. Bruce - Car is setting in shed with a cover on it. Roger - E Type went well on XK Greenock run. Major problems with XK8 Gearbox. Rick - XJ Temperature – Heater matrix tested again and found to be faulty. Bought new one from UK, All great. Problem with the racing car turned out to be Ignition switch.

He went on to say that now his car is going OK, he is now looking to assist other motorists in trouble, however, his first attempt was best forgotten. Don Tyrrell: X300 magnificent. Mk10 magnificent. Nothing on the Clipper. The other Mk10 in the shed still needs work. Bob & Daphne Charman: The old girl is badly in need of a wash.

Just had the fuel pumps converted to electronic. Done in N.S.W. for about $200. Wasn‟t hard to do as they‟re not encapsulated.

THE RUN TO THE GREENOCK AIR MUSEM On Sunday the 6th of June a large contingent of Jaguars (and some Daimlers) met at the Virginia Nursery for a run to the Greenock Air Museum. After a look at the huge display of plants etc and a variation of morning teas ranging from just coffee and cakes to bacon and eggs we proceeded to the Gawler Bypass. A sign on the side of the road told us of road works and that there would be a detour ahead (ha ha). Well some of us took this detour and after 10-15 klms on this so called detour we came upon a sign that said Two Wells 5km so we were certainly sent the long way round we wondered how our car would go in a Variety Bash because we went a long way on dirt roads. It would have been much more sensible (in our view) if we had been sent via Gawler but who knows how the minds of the Road Transport works? Anyway back on the main road again. All was going well until I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a line of red and blue flashing lights behind but not to worry as a 4 wheel drive decided to pass a line of Jaguars and ended up helping the Police with their inquiries. We arrived at the Museum and were soon enjoying a meal of sausages and salads and quite a few had seconds. Luckily we were under cover because the day turned out to be quite damp and misty but most of the exhibits were housed in large sheds and a lot of time and effort by the owner has been spent putting this very detailed and interesting display together there are over 1000.models. Some of the aircraft include an Avro Anson, a British –built Canberra Bomber which was used in the million dollar movie “Ground Zero” and a Mustang replica. Vintage tractors and trucks completed this display. I believe that a good time was had by all who went. I certainly enjoyed myself. Geoff Thomas.

Minutes of the Multivalve (XJ40 to current series) held at the home of John and Lesley Clarke – Tuesday, 25th May 2010 Meeting opened 8 pm Present: John & Lesley Clarke, Tom & Marj Brindle, Ron & Claire Palmer, Tony Human, Glyn Jones, Sue Harrison, John Stanley & Wendy Hall and Reg Wymond Apologies: Jim & Toni Bernardy, Doug Harrison, Tim White, Brian & Sue Walker and Peter Clarke. Business Arising from the Minutes: Following discussion related to future Club events, it was decided that a Multivalve run would be a visit to Stangate House in Aldgate, followed by lunch at Hahndorf then a guided tour of the township of Hahndorf. This event would be on Sunday 19th September, 2010. It was agreed that the Register Hosting traditionally held on the long weekend in October would be substituted this year by a „tag-a-long‟ with the Compact and XJ Registers to Renmark on Saturday 20th November, 2010. General Business: Ian McDowell was mentioned as having shown an interest last year in the position of Register Secretary. Car Talk John Stanley – X308 – hood lining collapsed, estimated cost of repairs $400. He enquired re “sealed” auto gearbox oil change. (Footnotes: John has since referred the hood lining problem to Jaguar Cars. This remains a problem which seems to affect cars in SA if not Australia. There is strong support for a regular oil change even in the “sealed for life” automatic transmissions) John & Lesley Clarke – X300, 1997, all OK Tom & Marj Bridle – XJ40, 1994, serviced, all OK Reg Wymond – X308, cable in steering mechanism requires repair Glyn Jones – S-Type SE, 2000, 26,00k‟s, all OK Sue Harrison – XJ40, 1990, all OK Tony Human – X350, Super V8, 2004, also requires replacement of hood lining

The Cat’s Giggle An elderly man in Queensland had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the crocodile." Moral: Old men may walk slowly, but they can still think fast.
One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.' So he tied her up and went golfing.
Got a joke? Send it to the editors and we’ll put it in the CM 21
