Minutes from previous meeting on 4th May

2010 taken as published in the CM

Business Arising:

Peter Holland spoke to the Constitutional

Change as detailed in the Classic Marque and

published in accordance with the constitution.

Peter moved that the Constitution be changed

as follows: “

CONDITIONAL (HISTORIC) REGISTRATION

(1) Clause 29

The Club shall comply with the rules for

Conditional (Historic) Registration as

prescribed in the following guides issued

by Transport SA “Code of Practice for

Historic Vehicles and Prescribed Left

Hand drive Vehicles” and “Conditional

Registration of Historic Vehicles and

Prescribed Left Hand Drive Vehicles”

(2) In addition to the above the following will

apply:

A Life Member and their spouse/partner,

as defined in clause 6(a) part (v) of this

Constitution shall enjoy all the rights and

privileges of a Full Member as defined in

clause 6(a) part (i) and for the purpose of

Conditional (Historic) Registration are

considered to be fully financial members of

the Club.

The Club may accept other makes/models

of vehicle for Conditional (Historic)

Registration at the discretion of Executive

Committee and/or its nominated Vehicle

Inspectors, provided that the vehicle(s)

meet all the necessary requirements for

Conditional Registration and the owner(s)

are financial members of the Club

(3) Clause 21 (d) indicates that “Such

resolutions must be carried by a three-

quarters majority of the members present and

eligible to vote. The minimum number

required to pass a resolution is twenty-three,

being three-quarters of the required quorum.

(refer clause 12[c])”

As there were more than 31 members present

and all members present voted for the

change, the constitutional changes were

approved by the members.

PRESIDENTS REPORT

JUN 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.

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

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.

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.

Business:

There was a suggestion to set up an Email list for help with parts and problems. 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

Brian - Put Carbie cleaner in the Sovereign, now great. Daimler wasn‟t running well. 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

All welcome.

Car Talk

Steve Attard: Still looking for a new shed.

John & Claire Evans: Jag not running. Problem with fuel pump. Will try a loan pump to try and

locate problem.

David Bicknell: Daimler gear box not the best. Looking for a 4 speed box.

James Mann: New thermostat and Battery put in car.

Martin O‟Dea: The „poltergeist‟ has temporarily left the car and it‟s going quite well at the

moment. 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. (talking about the car)

Roy Malandain: Car fine except when trying to start at Villi‟s before coming to meeting.

Stuart Perkins: Hasn‟t looked at it since last meeting. (We think he was talking about the car)

Hayden Isaac: Bought an alternator off EBay for $25 and its working fine.

Jay Russian: N.T.R. Family has been ill. Had a successful vasectomy. Wife had to help with the

specimens.

Ray & Barb Offe: Went on JOCCERS run and ran into a million bugs but the Jag pulled well.

Kerry Williams: Had the XJ Series 1 since 1970. 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.

Meeting closed 8.35pm

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.

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.
