Club Torque Congratulations to our editor Dane Wilden on his productions of Classic Marque featuring the National Rally. We have still been receiving great feedback about the Rally and there have also been Rally reports in interstate magazines. One of our Rally guest speakers was Scott Shearman, the new owner of Wappenbury Hall in the UK. Scott has let me know that he has recently added an SS100 to his collection of Jaguars.

Club Torque Hello all, Welcome to what is potentially the LONGEST Classic Marque that I’ve produced during my tenure as Editor - and what an issue it is! They say that size doesn’t matter, but as the old saying goes, there’s no replacement for displacement... And there is plenty in this issue! Delve right in and you’ll find the second part of Classic Marque’s pictorial report on the 2018 Jaguar Drivers Club National Rally. This months’ feature centres on the second leg of the rally, in the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula, all caught

I want to make a very special mention of Alan Bartram and Angela Rogers - two members of the club whose talents for photography should not go unnoticed. Alan and Angela have provided the vast majority of images you have enjoyed, and I want to thank them both personally for their work in documenting the National Rally. Without contributors like Alan and Angela, this magazine would be unable to provide members the level of

A NOTICE FROM THE TREASURER Tim White is retiring from the position after nearly 10 years in the role so we are seeking a new Treasurer at the AGM in September. Essentially the role encompasses the following: • • • • • • •
Recording of all financial transactions. Reconciling those transactions with the bank accounts. Reconciling the PayPal and Stripe credit card transactions. Providing a monthly report to the executive committee. Preparing the annual budget and having it approved at the May executive meeting. From the 1st July we will be trialling a new accounts system through TidyHQ in lieu of MYOB. Paying any expenses through the ANZ bank accounts - 99% via electronic deposits.
The role comes with complete tuition and ongoing back-up for the right person. The Treasurer does not have to have accounting knowledge but can demonstrate honesty, attention to detail and an understanding of excel spreadsheets. Please direct any queries to Tim, Julian, or Phil. ACJC Representative The second position that exists as part of the executive committee and one that Tim has expressed a desire to continue with is that of representing JDCSA on the Australian Council of Jaguar Clubs (ACJC). The objectives of ACJC are: 1. To be responsible for the rules and broad scale management aspects of the Jaguar Annual National Rally and the related Post Rally Tour. 2. To act as the focal point for the relationship between the Australian Clubs and Jaguar Land Rover Australia (JLRA) or its successor(s), thus providing a communication channel for matters of interest to all the Australian Clubs and to discuss and understand the JLRA position in regard to Dealer relations, Jaguar logos, trademarks and associated intellectual property. 3. To provide a forum for the Australian Clubs to share ideas and information on significant common issues such as Constitutions, the National Rally, legal status, membership fees, Club structures and Club activities. 4. To promote camaraderie between Jaguar enthusiasts. This council meets (in person or via skype) twice per year (February and August) to discuss a range of issues that are common to all Jaguar Clubs affiliated with ACJC. These include: • Liaising with Jaguar Australia (JLRA) which includes sponsorship. • Facilitating the Jaguar National Rally including the Concours rules and provide grants to the THE BOTTOM LINE hosting club. • Sharing ideas amongst one another to further the objectives detailed above. Consider future issues that might impact on the capacity of the council to deliver on the objects. Liaise with the clubs through their representatives about events and issues. Any questions regarding the role should be directed to Tim White. The Official Monthly Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia

Comments from club members: “Everyone was so friendly and helpful, with so many volunteers always willing to lend a hand and direct traffic.” “It was an excellent event with highlights being the biplanes at Goolwa and the experience at Tailem Bend was fantastic.” It was suggested that we all need to be clear when providing written directions as they are not always the easiest to understand if you are not a local. Speaking to the interstate people they loved it and were amazed they could see so much in such a short time. There was a comment that some thought it was too big an event and possibly lacked intimacy but others loved the number of people they met. “The XK Dinner was a bit cramped.” “Our first rally and we loved it! So much information about the various cars. Everyone we spoke to had a great time.” “This rally will be talked about for a long time!” “Wonderful time, every day.” “The rally magazine and XK magazine were excellent productions.” Tim spoke from a financial aspect and whilst figures are still to be finalised, the following has been noted: We budgeted for 80 registrations, but had 153 registrations. We received $23,300 sponsorship – excellent job Phil. By utilising TidyHQ we saved approximately $3000 on online credit card fees. Dane spoke on his experience as coordinator at the National Motor Museum: Excellent feedback from management about the organisation and the number of volunteers. There were excellent visitor numbers on the day, especially

Club Torque Future Register Meetings and Events. There was general discussion about meetings and events in the next few months and it was agreed that: Register members would have a meal together on Tuesday 3 July in the usual way at the Police Club prior to the Club general meeting where we are rostered to provide supper and ensure that the room is set up. This means that we will not have a Register meeting on Wed 4 July. The Wednesday 5 September Register meeting will be at Peter and Ros Hollands’ place. We will need to elect a Register Secretary at that meeting. Details to follow. 23, 24, and 25th October are the dates for a run to Camperdown, Victoria to meet Victorian XK people and in particular the Nixons. Eight couples expressed interest in attending and that info will be passed on to Kaye Perkins. Various suggestions for events were offered for consideration in August or other months remaining in 2018. The suggestions were visits to: the clipper ship at Port Adelaide, Cummins house, David Roche’s collection in North Adelaide, the Cube At McLaren Vale. There was brief discussion about how members of the Register can support other members with addressing problems relating to maintenance of our vehicles. The meeting closed at about 1.00pm and the barbeque was lit. We then enjoyed delicious salads and desserts with the results of our barbequing followed by a pleasant, long afternoon solving all sorts of problems and inspecting the cars on display.

Peter B would like to sell his 2004 X-type, 110,000 kms. He recently drove it along the Paris Creek road, and it went like a rocket! Is looking for an XJ8 sedan or “S” type 3 litre. Daff – S-type is used regularly for work and is going well. Bob – Big Red is still perfect. XJ having rust removed. E-type’s owner will now not return until 2020 (damn!) so Bob will just have to look after it for a little longer. Tony H – XJ going well. Peter C – 2016 XJ diesel 23,150kms. Been back to Solitaire twice re. stop/start that only seems to work intermittently. Suspects it could be battery related. Also has a rattle in the steering that he can hear, but Solitaire can’t. Trish’s 2014 XE 19,500kms and going well. John C – 1997 X300 3.2litre still beautiful. Sue H drove it around Tailem Bend track. Ray S – 2010 X-type was driven by Judy in the National Rally. Ray did the motorkhana at the rally and is disappointed that no results have been forthcoming. Took Doug H. around the Tailem Bend track while Doug tried to video it all. Film will have to be expurgated as it is full of expletives! Des B – 2014 XF twin turbo S 24,000kms. No problems. Ron P – 2014 XF 3 litre SS 56,500 kms recently did a run to Robe, Mount Gambier of just over 1000kms. 7.5L per 100km. Going nicely. Tom B – 1994 XJ40 217,000kms. Nothing to report. Bill B - 2005 S-type 145,000kms. Nothing going wrong at the moment. Barry B – 2010 XFS twin turbo diesel 53,000kms. Hasn’t used it since last meeting!
