Okay, I'm a member of both the jaguarforums.com and the Jaguar Drivers Club of Queensland. I've been told (jaguarforums.com) that JDCQ members are basically old blokes who collect Jaguars but don't really drive them. Charlie P. and I are trying to change that. We can't do it alone. I love driving my cars! Please come and join us.

Wendy and I are leading a run next Sunday and you all are invited to attend.

Like all car clubs, both the JDCQ and the jaguarforums.com need "new blood" in order to survive.

Stu & Wendy?s Sunday Run


Cheers,

Stu

 

I have been to a couple JDCQ events recently at Lakeside raceway and enjoyed the day, from what I saw talking to members and taking part in the on track regularity event the culture within the JDCQ has changed a lot since 2003 when it didn't seem very welcoming to new young members with Fords.

I would have liked to come along this weekend but will be popping back to NZ for a few days. At least I was back on this side of the ditch when the quakes hit.

 

Count me in Stu. If I cant get to Wappa Dam on time, I'll meet you all at the Glenview Gardens for lunch.


I went to a JDCQ event a few years back (as a non member) in my 06 'Ford' XJR & found most members friendly once we got to know each other. The large and varied showcase of beautiful cars (incl a brand new AM Vanquish) made the effort well worthwhile.

 

Hi Henry,

Great! We should be at Wappa Dam at 10:15am for about a 45 minute morning tea stop and will arrive at Glenview Gardens at around 11:45am.

Technically you were representing JDCA!!!

Stu next time we catch up we can talk about me changing over to JDCQ from JDCA.

Are JDCQ cams affiliated s I need to keep my race licence

I didn't know the answer to that one so I had to ask. No, we are no longer affilliated with CAMS. Those of our members who need to retain their CAMS licence are also members of other clubs.


Cheers,

Stu

 

Hello all from south of the border . . .

Best wishes for Sunday's run and meet. Hope you have fine, warm weather and I look forward to seeing you next year at our Combined InterState Meet in March, based around Tenterfield . . . magic scenery, great hospitality . . . hope to see many of you then . . . see separate thread.

Cheers,

Ken

 

Stu - which one of your collection are you taking?

I hope plenty old blokes get one of their Jaguars out on the road and you have a great day.

Since we're expecting sunny skies and 30°C, I'll be taking the air conditioned XKR.

So far, I've got eighteen cars attending. That's a respectable turnout.


Stu

 

Was a good day, Stu. Had an interesting chat with several of your clubs attending members and viewed some of their beautiful cars. The friendly JDCQ members I spoke with were mostly unaware of our Qld Forum and impressed by the size of our membership. I passed on its URL to some members looking for technical advice.

 

That's my dream.

36°F and raining here so I had the heat on in my XK this morning after thawing off the overnight frost.

From the later post, it sounds like you had a successful day.

Graham
