This answers why the DTEI letter appeared “out of the blue” 

PRESIDENTS REPORT August 2011 The AGM is fast approaching, so if you’ve always wondered what goes on at the Executive meetings you can become part of it by getting a nomination form in for one of the many positions on offer. You get out of a club what you are prepared to put in and helping to run it is an extremely rewarding experience.

The one ring circus that was Mallala lived up to the promotion of ‘spills and thrills’ when the club paid a visit on the 3rd of July. Pouring rain the week before (and the week after) allowed the previous day’s cars to leave plenty of mud on the track, which made the warm up sessions quite interesting.

Thanks go to the V12 Register for organising the club run up to the track. Darryl Leyton, Ray Smithers and myself appreciated having a cheer squad on hand and it was great to see three Jags back on the circuit again. Ray, being the veteran racer that he is, was even able to arrange for his car to be washed during a race, although I think it was just posing that he had the outside and the inside cleaned at the same time. The next round is on the 14th August and everyone is welcome.

Our response to the proposed changes to the Historic Registration Scheme mooted by the DTEI is still an ongoing issue and remains of concern to us. The JDCSA, along with many other clubs, has sent a letter to the department informing them that despite what the FHMC has indicated to them, we are not happy with the changes and want to open a dialogue with them to have them revisit their proposals. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.

There have been a number of excellent club runs of late and as I predicted months ago it has been a busy year and will continue to be right up to the Presentation Dinner.

See you all at the next meeting.

Rick Luff

SA/VIC BORDER RUN 2011 No. 37 Dates: Friday 28 October through to Monday 31 October 2011 Venue: Naracoorte SA, previously visited for Border Runs in 1977, 1986 & 1999, none of which I had the opportunity to attend.

From Melbourne approx - 450 km, From Adelaide approx - 365 km During May, the Victorian members were initially contacted via Nik Cirakovic while the SA lot were contacted per JDCSA SS Register & others direct. The purpose of that contact was to solicit firm Expressions Of Interest in order to assess the probable size of the event, especially considering the accommodation factor as we are not the only organization having a joint Vic & SA event at Naracoorte & Penola that weekend.

Thankyou to those whom replied with the following responses Victoria:

12 vehicles

 SA, SS Register

11 Vehicles

 JCCC

9 Vehicles

Total = 32 Vehicles (Approx 64 persons) Accommodation: Here comes the tricky part; Naracoorte does not have motel, hotel or caravan park cabin facilities to accommodate us all in the same PLACE. I have reserved the following spaces:  William Macintosh Motel - Comfort Inn - 25 rooms  Country Roads Motel - Golden Chain - 10 rooms Unfortunately they are not adjacent, it is the best I could do.

Room Rates are William Macintosh Motel; $ 50.00 dep  Standard dbl room - $ 118.00 /night ( the only family suite has already been booked by Simon Roberts, well done)  Exec room w/o spa $ 155.00  Exec room w/o spa $ 155.00  Exec room w spa $ 155.00  Country Roads Motel - $ TBA – (ask)  Standard dbl room - $135.00 pn ($120 pn for 1 person)  Executive suite - $155.00 pn  Family suite - $TBA pn (ask)  Twin beds - $TBA pn (ask) Apart from Simon, I suggest that any one preferring special bed arrangements, try the CRM first.

Please note the neither motel has provision for breakfast in the rooms, nor a dining room large enough to take us all for a meal together.

SO! That presents a challenge & WE (Marg & I) have arranged a rather special program by taking advantage of hospitality extended to us by the Naracoorte Historic Vehicle Club.

The NHVC has large premises immediately behind the local Visitor Information Center & the Sheep’s Back Museum within walking distance of the Town Centre. Many of the members keep their vehicles on site & the Club regularly caters for rallies & visiting Clubs.

Draft Program: 9

BYO  Saturday, Breakfast, at the Naracoorte Hotel town centre  Morning - Vehicles assemble at NHVC rooms on lawned area  Lunch - Collect running-board lunch pack, Country drive est 30km,  Lunch at scenic area  Afternoon - Free time  Night - Sit down 2 course meal at NHVC.

I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

Car Talk Steve Attard – The new jag runs like a dream. Still working on the new garage, now putting in a floor David Bicknell – bought a Series 3 for spare parts.

Walter and Beryl Bullock – Nothing to Report – all going well Bob Charman – changed from 95 octane rating to 98 octane rated fuel and now the 420G does not ping when cold.

John and Claire Evans – Nothing to report – minor starting problem but think it was the cold and moisture in the air.

Darryl and Fay Leyton – took Derek to Mallala on Sunday and managed to spend the whole day on the track. Tested out the new LSD and went well. New paint on Derek with Jaguar emblem on bonnet.

Martin O‟Dea – replaced fuel idle cut out switch. Seemed to stop engine fade but came back again on the trip to Macclesfield. Have new switch – will fix (again) Borys Portiuch – Still has idling problem with Jag, but has great top end performance Phil Prior – S Type has new booster fitted next week. XJC Stromberg carbs to be replaced with SU carbs (as God intended) over next couple of days. Lots of useless bits removed from motor and placed into a box at the back of the shed.

Neil Raw – XJ40 running well. Used on weekends now and greatly enjoyed.  Serge Stebellini – back seat back in. Goes well at 110+ km/h. Bought a door handle from the UK to fit to the Jag. Taking the Jag for a run to Mildura next month.

Minutes of the V12 and E-Type Register – Held at Garage Mahal on 21st July 2011

Present: Rick Luff and Louise, Imogen and Scott Galloway, Alan Baker, Peter and Carmel LeafMilham, Pete and Kathy Taylor, Roger, Di and Scott Adamson and many E Type owners BUSINESS: Around 30+ people were introduced to the creators of GarageMahal who explained that regardless of your reasons, whatever your lifestyle or hobby, your garage can be transformed to reflect your passion. Garage Mahal knows no barrier to creativity or design, no obstruction to construction or fit out.

This was displayed with their Streamliner garage.

What started out as a large, ordinary iron shed became an entertainment area/shed/work area.

The idea/theme came from an old fridge which is restored and sits pride of place behind the bar.

The black and white large glossy floor tiles made an immediate impact and were offset by the red, black and silver features around the room. The bar supports were shaped like pistons and even the toilet walls were lined with memorabilia.

We enjoyed food/drinks/music and socialised in the awe inspiring shed and thought about the possibilities of our own drab/boring sheds.

Sitting on the hoist to add to the effect on the night was Chris Waldock and Christine Kirby‟s stunning new Aston Martin.

A terrific night was had by all.

“The shed is every big boys dream” Di A “Brilliant”, Kathy T, “Bloody Amazing and Innovative” Peter LM and “a very special place be” Roger A

13 to 18 September 2011 Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide is an exciting four day, competitive stage, tarmac rally across South Australia with some of the world‟s finest classic cars. In its inaugural year Octagon is anticipating that 200 of the world‟s finest classic cars and drivers will compete along South Australia‟s scenic routes.

This enthralling international event sees the best from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lotus, Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan and Toyota. You name it and you can see it at Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide.

In response to a huge demand for participation in tours at the four Targa events, Octagon has now decided to provide them in line with the tour held at Targa Tasmania since 2004.

The Targa Tours create an opportunity to experience the thrill of driving on some of Australia's greatest driving roads when they have been closed for competition without the pressure of competing or having to modify your pride and joy. Not everyone wants to drive their vehicles hard and this Tour is just what a large number of people have been asking for – to be part of Targa but as a tourist.

THE TOUR: The Supaloc Classic Targa Adelaide tour is an amazing experience, but not a race. It is exactly what it says it is and designed to display a cavalcade of motor history, giving owners an opportunity to use them safely, while enjoying the thrill of riding past, literally, thousands of spectators all watching the South Australia‟s largest tarmac rally.

Along with the tour, street stages are the part of Targa that make it truly unique. The event sees a number of street stages including prologue in the famous Barossa Valley Wine region, in town of Tanunda where thousands will line the streets to cheer participants on. It‟s an experience money can‟t buy.

The Targa Tour follows the same course as the competitive sections, driving in convoy ahead of the competition field over the closed road Targa stages at the normal road speed. Participants get to preview the course in 'packets' of up to 15 vehicles, lead by an organiser‟s course vehicle, usually driven by a retired competitor or official who knows the roads.

And although the normal speed limits apply, you really do get the racers eye view and some of the roads you drive on vie for the title of the greatest driving roads in the world. South Australia still enjoys a 100 kph speed limit on its winding mountain passes that most competition cars would struggle to break, leaving plenty of opportunity to enjoy your classic in a very “spirited” manner.

Walther Roehrl, voted the best ever rally driver by Europeans, says that there is nothing to compare with Targa roads. From the driver‟s seat of you can feel what it's like coming down the Gorge Road using both sides of the road, cresting Mt Lofty or driving past the crowds watching from the end of their driveways on Coromandel.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE TOUR? Participants in the tour have the opportunity to mix with the competitors and get to showcase their pride and joy at the vehicle expos which accompany each event and where a crowd of surprisingly knowledgeable people will want to talk about your car. Each Tour participant is invited to attend the events' social functions.

Although the Tour is designed for people who want a chance to experience something unique in the enthusiast world, it also provides a way for anyone who fancies having a go at Targa one day, to get up close with the event, feel the roads, the camaraderie, the sense of challenge and achievement and answer the question: "how would I go at this?".

Tour cars are not required to have roll over protection systems but are required to travel with fire extinguishers and safety triangles. Participants are required to hold a CAMS Level Two Speed Licence and your vehicle needs a CAMS Log Book - both easy to get and we are here to help. Each tour car is issued with the same Road Books as the competition cars which provide comprehensive details of the course. It is important that the crew member in the left hand seat learns how to read the Tulip diagrams in the Road Book so you can follow the touring route between the closed special stages.

Crews are required to report to the security park - that's where all the competition cars have spent the night, while you will have been able to use yours to go to and from your hotel or to dinner - 20 minutes before their due time of departure.

They are then to report to their vehicle and prepare to leave when instructed to do so by the Tour Leader.

It will be a very early morning start because the Tour goes at the head of the field, but it does mean an early return, allowing plenty of time for an afternoon rest before the evening's entertainment.

At the start of the Targa Stages, participants are to queue behind the Tour Leader vehicle on the side of the road as directed. The Tour Leader vehicle will give two minutes warning prior to departure when participants must be in their vehicles, with seat belts done up.

During the stages participants are to follow the Tour Leader car through the stage in convoy and normal safe driving practices are to be adopted at all times.

Speed will be as per the posted limits, even though the road has been closed to public traffic.

Overtaking is not permitted, unless a vehicle in front has slowed down and the driver has given a clear signal. At the finish of stages participants must slow down and be prepared to stop, and then continue to follow the Tour Leader vehicle into the next transport stage.

THE COURSE: The tour leaves from the city each day, varying in landscape from open farm land to Adelaideâ€&#x;s beautiful vineyards and large mountain ranges. You will get to ride on iconic stages including, Montacute, Upper Hermitage, Piccadilly and Tanunda.

The Cat’s Giggle

Three ladies in a sauna Three women, two younger, and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna.

Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped.

The others looked at her questioningly.. 'That was my pager,' she said.

I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young woman lifted her palm to her ear.

When she finished, she explained, 'that was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.

The older woman felt very low -tech. Not to be out done, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom.

She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.

The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her.

The older woman finally said…… ”Well, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax!!”

Got a joke? Send it to the editors and we’ll put it in the CM
