JCNA Volunteer Opportunity Available:
NORTHWEST REP ON THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
The JCNA Membership Committee (MC) focuses on matters
related to recruitment and retention of members. The MC consists
of 1 or 2 reps from each of the six JCNA regions and I have
served as the Northwest rep on the Committee for the past two
years. I have resigned my position due to my responsibilities in
CXKJR/CCMGC and my involvement in the JCNA Special Awards
Committee. JCNA is therefore looking for one or two new MC
members from the Northwest (which includes CXKJR, the Pacific
Jaguar Enthusiasts Group, the Jaguar Car Club of Victoria, the
Seattle Jaguar Drivers & Restorers Club and the Jaguar Owners
Club of Oregon.) The MC meets every two months via a phone-in
conference call on Saturday morning at 11 am Eastern Time.
Membership Committee members act as communication links
between the MC and the Membership Coordinators in each of the
region’s clubs. Examples of topics dealt with by the Membership
Committee over the past year: the new member application &
welcome process, the JCNA Member-at-Large process, the new
membership brochure, membership-related resources on the
JCNA website, a Roadmap for Forming New JCNA Clubs and a
Best Practices document. This is a very active group committed
to maintaining & expanding JCNA membership in creative and
new ways. If you are interested in finding out more about the
Membership Committee and possibly volunteering to join it,
contact me at jlorum@shaw.ca or 604-880-7598. [Jennifer Orum]

be starting on the body reconstruction
of his 1965 E-Type, the one in pieces/

August club membership meeting. In
place of the evening Garage Nights,
John is planning to arrange (weather
permitting) for club members to
drop by at a pre-arranged time on
selected Sundays to see and discuss
the progress on the car. He plans to
kick this off with an event in early October when he will have an in-depth discussion of this wonderful piece of family
automotive history. This will be a not-to-be-missed opportunity for anyone interested in automotive restoration and
maintenance. Watch for announcements in Little Classical Gas with details on the Sunday visits.

E-type in its original colour.
FROM JOHN CLARKE …
The Car was purchased by Carol’s Uncle, Dan Driscoll,
and picked up in Montreal in 1965. Dan was a test pilot
for Boeing who did all the major testing of the PBY and
Catalina flying boats that were built in the northwest, both
BC and Washington. In 1965 he lived in Saskatchewan.
Having broken in the E-Type as only a test pilot could do,
Dan picked up his impressionable niece Carol Clarke
(Hooton) from Regina for a ride to Lumsden. Well!!! This
was a ride she never forgot. Dan, being no stranger to
speed, put the throttle to the floor and all Carol really
remembers is the blur of the prairies passing by, the
speedo reading 140 miles an hour, the requisite smile on
her uncle’s face, and feelings of genuine terror.
The years went by and Dan moved to Nanoose Bay, BC, to
live with Carol’s cousin Dennis and his wife. Dan always
said he wanted to live until the year 2000, and at the age
of 93, three days into the year 2000 Dan went to bed and
never woke up. He had his 65 E-Type coupe and his new
7 series BMW parked in the driveway. He also had his
driver’s license in his wallet with a perfect driving record,
having never received a speeding ticket in his life. E-types
are hard to catch.
As the result of a later-to-be-told story, we purchased this
piece of family history from Cousin Dennis, and we will
restore it to its former glory. n

LUXURY & SUPERCAR
WEEKEND
1.
2.
T
his year’s 6th annual Luxury and
Supercar Weekend returned to the
Great Lawn at VanDusen Botanical
Garden September 12 and 13. The intention
of the show is to allow automotive enthusiasts
to experience a “lifestyle weekend”, with the
opportunity to view both rare classics and
modern supercars. One of the centrepieces
of the weekend is the Canadian Concours
d’Élégance, with Nigel Matthews, Global Director
of Client Services for Hagerty, as the Concours
Chairman and Chief Judge.
Among the British Invasion classes this
year were the Jaguar E-type and the 60th
Anniversary of the MGA. Four CXKJR
members were invited to show their E-types:
Krista Briggs’ 1966 Series I OTS, John &
Carol Clarke’s 1969 Series II OTS, Chris
O’Neill’s 1970 Series II FHC and Jim & Sue
McLagan’s 1974 Series III OTS. Krista’s
black beauty took the Canadian Concours
trophy for Best in Class, and both the Clarke
1969 Series II roadster and the O’Neill
Series II coupe were given Shaughnessy
Awards. As Enzo Ferrari is quoted as saying
on its release, the Jaguar E-type is “the most
beautiful car ever made.” Which is a huge
complement considering Enzo Ferrari was
never known to be complimentary about
anyone or anything, let alone a competitor’s
product! [Note OTS refers to “Open Two
Seater” and FHC “Fixed Head
Coupe.”]
The ten-car 60th Anniversary of the
MGA display included five CCMGC
member cars: Anne & Peter Tilbury’s
1958 replica rally car/coupe, Steve
& Sheila Kaufman’s 1960 MGA1600
roadster, Andy & Joyce McCombie’s
1955 MGA 1500 roadster, Rob
McMillan’s 1956 MGA 1500 replica race car and
John & Carol Clarke’s 1962 MGA 1600 Mk II.
The Tilbury replica rally car was presented with a
Shaughnessy Award and Ralph Zbarsky’s 1958
Twin Cam race car won Best in Class.
CXKJR members Greg and Elisabeth Wagorn had
their 1973 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow on display
as well.
Next year’s Luxury & Supercar Weekend will be
back at VanDusen September 10 & 11, 2016.
Applications are already being accepted for
cars to be considered for next year’s show at
the LSW website: http://luxurysupercar.com or

The Last Word
November 1
Kruise for Kids
November 1
London to Brighton Commemorative Run
Kruise for Kids is in its 32nd year
of helping the less fortunate at
Christmas through cash and toy
donations to the Lower Mainland
Christmas Bureau. All toys and
donations go directly to the
Bureau for distribution to children
in the Greater Vancouver-Fraser
Valley area, with car clubs
throughout the lower mainland
area holding fund-raising
activities and raffles throughout
the year to raise money for the
Toy Run and Parade. On the first
Sunday in November drivers and vehicles gather at Guildford
to pick up a registration form, visit friends and then bring
their brand new (unwrapped) toy to a second location where
these toys and cash are presented to the Christmas Bureau.
Sponsored by the Old English Car Club, Vancouver Coast
Branch, this event commemorates the 1896 Motor Car
Tour to Brighton when the British Motor Car Club celebrated
legislation raising the speed limit from 4mph to 14mph. This
year’s departure point is the A & W Restaurant at 22805
Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge, at the intersection of 228th and
Lougheed. No pre-registration is required. The registration
desk will be open 9:15 to 10:00 am and the cost will be $5,
with 100% of the registration fees donated to the Friends in
Need Society Food Bank. Optional purchases: $10 for the
London to Brighton Plate and $10 for a Run Patch. The first
car out will be at approximately 10:10 am, with the route
covering Maple Ridge, Mission, Abbotsford and Langley. This
year’s pit stop will be at Hayward Park in Maple Ridge and
the end location and lunch will be at the Fox & Fiddle Pub,
19530 Langley Bypass, Surrey. For more information: Walter
Reynolds at wdrauto@telus.net or (604) 463 6305.
For many years the Jaguar/MG Club has led the way with the
highest cash donation thanks to your generosity and Doug
Gale’s tireless efforts to remind each and everyone he knows
that there are many less fortunate that deserve and need
our help. Again this year he would like to encourage you to
not only donate but to also decorate your car (and perhaps
yourself) and come out for the Run. There will be T-shirts for
the first 150 entrants, and dash plaques for the first 200. In
addition to tons of door prizes, there will be trophies for the
Best Decorated Vehicle, Best Dressed Driver and Crew, Best
Club Turnout and Best Club Display.
We look forward to seeing you at Guildford on November 1st
by the Red Robin restaurant (10237 152nd Street, Surrey.)
Assembly begins at 8:30 am, with departure promptly at
10 am. Enter from 152nd, keep left – the parking lot has
changed drastically. The destination for this year’s Run
where the awards will be presented is the banquet room of
the Cascades Casino-Resort in Langley. Let’s have a good
turnout of CXKJR/CCMGC members - and don’t forget your
Santa hat! Or antlers?? For more information please call
Doug or Rhonda at (604) 521 3021.

the 60’s. To see a video of the band live, go to the band’s
