PRESIDENTS REPORT

June 2011

Planning for Jag Day 2011 is underway, with this

year‟s event being held at Civic Park on North

East Road. “Where”, you say? Well you‟ve

probably driven past it many times. It‟s the

grassed amphitheatre opposite Tea Tree Plaza.

We will have terrific drive by presence and the

banners that will go up a fortnight before will be

seen by 60,000 motorists each day.

Catering will be in a similar form to the recent E-

type extravaganza, with large marquee, wine and cheese tasting, coffee as well as

adjacent eateries opening just for us on the day. But more from Di Adamson as the day

approaches.

The main topic of discussion since the last GM has been the letter from the Department

of Transport Energy and Infrastructure. The DTEI is the department that controls the

Historic Registration Scheme. You can read the details of this letter by using the link on

the front page of the web site.

Suffice to say that the response from Executive has been swift and strong.

Their proposal that will require clubs participating in this scheme need to be members

of the Federation of Historic Motor Clubs seems quite reasonable. Aligning Left Hand

Drive with Right Hand Drive vehicles with respect to qualifying for historic registration is

also appropriate and long overdue.

The remaining two proposals are the ones that we take issue with.

Firstly, the proposal that historic registration be ruled out for vehicles manufactured

from 1979 onwards would mean cars such as later model XJ and XJ-S models or even

more recent X300‟s would not qualify. While it may be debatable whether these cars are

of historic value now, in 20 years time they most certainly will be. Of course the same

goes for many other Jaguars and other make cars. You can‟t tell me a recent model

Holden Monaro won‟t be of historic significance in 2030.

Secondly, the other proposal is to change the inspection regime of all vehicles

participating in the scheme. Instead of a one-off inspection at the time of the initial

application, DTEI is suggesting that this inspection occurs annually. This ill thought out

idea does not take into consideration the time and financial impost that would be

created. The inconvenience to non-metropolitan members would be substantial. This, of

course, assumes that there would be inspectors who would be willing to assess some

400 cars: each and every year! And that is only our club. Imagine the extra work

needed for clubs such as Ford or GM.

Some are wondering if these proposals are being circulated for discussion or whether

decisions have already been made and that DTEI are merely going through the motions.

We can only hope that the former is the case.

I‟ll keep you posted on our progress.

In the meantime there are plenty of club activities to enjoy including the XJ Register

run to Mt Gambier on 27 – 29th May, Compact Register lunch at the Victory Hotel on

Sunday 19th June and the Club Run to Mallala on July 3rd.

See you at the next meeting.

Rick Luff

Minutes of the V12 Register – Held at Roger and Di Adamson’s home on 13th May,

2011

Present: Louise and Rick Luff, Pete and Kathy Taylor, Imogen and Scott Galloway, Mark

O‟Brien, Amelia and Tim O‟Daly, Paul Elliott, Alan Baker, Lawrie Williams, Noel and Carmel

Trew, Roger, Di and Scott Adamson

Apologies: Alan & Sharon Dunsford

BUSINESS:

Welcomed new member Lawrie Williams with his 1986 XJ12 Sovereign. He was a

member of the club about 10 years ago.

Up and coming runs listed.

Rick gave an outline of the proposed changes to Historic Registration, particularly the

setting of a date for historic vehicles and the proposed requirement for annual inspections.

Discussion was held and the general opinion was that neither of these changes would be

practical nor can we see any benefit coming from changes of this nature. Indeed the idea of

annual inspections would be virtually impossible.

Fire Extinguishers were distributed to members who had not already received them as a

token of appreciation from the club.

CAR TALK

Rick: The Burgundy XJS has no bumpers as they are on the Race Car. While returning from

the Sporting Car Club for the Etype 50th, the piston seized on the brakes. A new kit is

being fitted tomorrow. Also looking for a wiper motor and a left hand headlight.

Pete: XJS V12 Convertible has not been driven for 3 months but going well. Is up for sale

on Carsales.

Scott: No break downs on the XJS V12. Had a new windscreen fitted through Shannon‟s.

The rear window is going to be changed also. Found the fuel float sender is the same as a

Mini one and it costs $14.

Noel: Nothing to Report except the speedo is not working.

Alan: Type going well. Alan bought along a Caliper and a rotor to show. They had been

manufactured for a Series 2 E Type by E Type Fabs.

Lawrie: Recently bought a Series 3 XJ12 that had done 155,000. He is the 4th owner. It is

hard to start at times but generally very happy with it.

Tim: No Jags but has a variety of other cars (DB7, Bentley, Porsche GT3 and Boxter) all

going well.

Paul: XJS bought from Mark. Currently out of action due to Fuel Lines and Injectors.

Roger: Nothing to report, E Type and XK8 going well.

The meeting concluded with a BBQ, many discussions and a few drinks.

NEXT MEETING: Will be on 10th June, 2011. All welcome.

The Cat’s Giggle

Not a joke as such but a story from an anonymous member – Can you guess who!!!!

The owners of a quite nice 420G had been having trouble with the car's clock.

With a helping hand from Evan Spartalis and a new battery they finally got it

working again. So, with the clock now working and the car cleaned they thought

they would take it out for a Sunday drive. Several minutes into the journey the

passenger said to the driver, "That clock is a bit loud isn't it?" the driver replied

"Yes it is, it wasn't that loud before".

The clock continued to click away annoyingly.

The passenger then said, "Maybe we should get Ernie (Evan's auto electrician)

to have a look at it. The driver said, "Yeah, I think you're right. If it's no good, I

have a couple more at home; I'll try one of those".

A short time later they had to stop at a traffic light and another car pulled up

alongside, as they sometimes do, to have a look at the car.

The driver of the 420G looked over with a proud smug look on his face and the

passenger of the other car put her window down and said, "Excuse me mate,

but your indicator light is still on".

The red-faced 420G driver said, "Thanks", and turned off the indicator and the

clock has been fine since!

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