September—October 2016 102nd Edition Editor & Publisher: Graeme Cook Page 1 Chair Report The weather continued to be perfect for getting our old cars out (some topless) during the last days of summer, gosh, that sounds somewhat depressing doesn’t it? The Qualicum Lighthouse Fall Fair had one of the best turn-outs we’ve had to date, with 30 cars. A great day of treats and fun for the whole family. On the downside, the Wagonmaster (me) was unsure of the destination and sought help from Ken and Adele Hedges. Adele took the lead from Qualicum Beach and although pulled off at the turn to let me by, I didn’t pass her and she then led us into the field. Someone at the fair di- rected us to where we could park, which was a whole 15 meters further away than was painted in the grass, this meant anyone wanting to try and find English/Brit cars had great difficulty in locating their whereabouts. Fortunately, several drivers were on hand to send them off in the right direction to enjoy our prized cars, thank you everyone who helped and to all those who endured the extra trek across the tundra after visiting the various parts of the show, you guys are heroes!! We also had a large turnout for The Sweet Adelines fund raiser at the Enrico Vineyard was another well attended event, Howard Lockhart was our Wagonmaster with a fabu- lous run through the backroads from Nanaimo to Mill Bay. The Portland All British Field Meet was attended by several members from our club and some managed to secure wins in their categories, congratulations go to: Peter Sparke – First Place for his 1960 Daimler SP250 in the AA-03 Marques from the 60s class Len Smith – Third Place for his 1956 MGA in the MG-44A: MGA Roadster class Graeme Cook – Second Place for his 1966 Triumph TR4A in the TR-64: TR4 & TR4A class Page 2 The ECAIP event this year was held for the first time at Government House, a very stately place, and many cars from all marques and ages were on display from all branches and looked like an excellent day out, unfortunately, yours truly was unable to attend, but one day, one day….. The End of Summer Scavenger Hunt, our last major event of the summer was tremen- dous fun with a drive through the back roads of Cedar and Yellowpoint searching out answers to clues on our hand-outs. Thank you Malcolm and Janet Hargrave for yet an- other fun-filled event. Elaine and I came in first place, but to be fair, we did have super- dog Ernie on our side which was probably an unfair advantage, lol. The Nanaimo Hospital Auxiliary held a tea party, fashion show and fundraiser at the Nanoose Community Centre and we provided a display of 10 or so cars to help spon- sor the event. Thank you to all who attended. As the longer nights draw in and fall storms approach, for some it’s time to put our be- loved treasures away, or to start work on those little improvements we have been put- ting off, or to say farewell to some of our snowbird friends as they head south for the winter. Our final event of the year is our annual Christmas Banquet, this year again at Fairwinds Golf Club on November 26, don’t forget to bring an unwrapped toy for the toy drive and I look forward to seeing many of you there. Drive safe, have a great winter wherever you are and hope to see you at our Polar Bear Run in January. Page 3 OECC CIB Christmas Party It is time to mark the date on your calendar for our OECC Christmas Party: Saturday, November 26th at Fairwinds Golf Course in Nanoose Bay. We are very fortunate that the club is able to subsidize the cost so the tickets are only $25.00 per person for a traditional roast beef dinner, as well as braised chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, 3 salads, dessert selec- tion, tea and coffee as well as entertainment and a good time. Tickets will be available for purchase at the next OECC meeting, Thursday, Oct 20th. There will be an early bird draw for those members that have bought their ticket by the end of the October business meeting. Please buy your tickets early so we can get a good count of numbers. Once again we will be collecting unwrapped toys for the Nanaimo district Toy Drive. We will not be doing a gift exchange but would appreciate any donations for door prizes (please get them to Bob and Melba Nelson by Nov. 17th meet- ing.) We are looking forward to another great gathering of friends. If anyone is interested in joining "The Sparke Plugs" for a minor part of the en- tertainment you may contact the Nelsons. We can be reached at [email protected] or call 468-1564.

We thought it would be fun to add a car run as well. We left the usual marshalling point at the south end Timmies about 10:30 and headed south through Saltair, Chemainus, Mill Bay, Duncan and Cow Bay. Many thanks to Wayne Peddie for guiding us through Chemainus (I invariably take the wrong exit at Chemainus and end up at the ferry dock). We arrived at Enrico Winery and parked in the large grassy area by the pond. Shortly after a group from the South Island branch joined us for an informal car show. We had close to 30 cars in total. The weather was fine but quite windy. There were about 250 people there from the car club, chorus and general public. The City of Gardens chorus entertained us with a couple of sets of their songs and a quartet also sang a few songs. Lunch was a barbeque hamburger and salad. The winery was also doing tasting for all the people that were there. Paul Tilroe took some great photos that are on our web site. There have been some favorable com- ments from club members and the chorus as well as the winery staff. It looks like we may have to do this again next year. Report by Howard Lockart—wagonmaster. Page 6 Page 7 ECAIP—Sep 11th Page 8 Page 9 “See-Da Backroads” Run — Sep 18th Despite the unpredictable weather forecasts during the prior week, on Sunday, Sep- tember 18th, the morning of the run, it was full sunshine and very warm at Southgate Mall. There were 20 cars lined up in all, many with their tops down, and they all got away by 10.45 am. The first teams started to arrive at Cotton Wood Golf Course Restaurant around 12.15, and all cars and members were accounted for by 1.00, with no lost souls driving aim- lessly around Cedar and Yellow Point! After the first couple of tables were served, a mad rush took place by the open-top car owners to cover up as a heavy shower de- scended. After a good meal and well-deserved refreshments, Wayne Peddie gave out the an- swers to the 43 clues. The winners, with an incredible score of 42, were Steve and Elaine Roebuck, with considerable help from their Super-Dog “Ernie”. A couple of teams scored in the low 40’s, while many teams were in the high 30’s, while others managed only the mid twenties (yes, you know who you are!). Two $10.00 Timmies cards were given out to the winners. Thanks to Adele and Russ for taking the official photos for the run. Malcolm & Janet Hargrave, Wagon Masters. Page 10 Page 11 Leather Restoration of a Jaguar XK8 We decided to try and improve the look of the interior of our car by having the leather restored. I had spoken to a couple of people who have tackled the job themselves, and it was way above my skill level, so we commissioned New Creations to see if they could make the cabin look and feel better. Over the course of 4-5 hours, they masked off the entire cabin, leaving the seats, steering wheel and door trim exposed. Then took sandpaper to remove the rough surface and any loose frag- ments, before applying a cleaner and conditioner. They sealed up any tears and surface damag- es and even repaired the driver’s door arm rest which was moderately damaged around the stitching. Matching the leather colour has to be an art in itself, and since we have two-tone leath- er I wondered what they would do, but both colours were brought back to life with several coats of leather dye eradicating years of wear and tear and restoring a beautiful finish to a beautiful car! Their web site is www.newcreations.ca my contact was Drew Slayter who did an excellent job for us!

I actually, pardon me, came down here for the first time in „43. I was very young. Then, we moved to California for two years, Kenosha, Missouri for two years, and back here in „48. Been here most of the time since then, except I went to Florida State in „54 for a Bachelor‟s degrees, then Tulane for a Master‟s degrees in the early „60s. Been back here since „69. Schueler: When you first moved to Sarasota, you were about starting high school, that sort of age? Murphy: Oh, I was in 2nd grade in elementary school at Southside.
