Log Book Renewals

DUE 1 JULY 2018.

There have been significant changes to Conditional Registration in the last 12 months.

The new Code of Practice called ‘Club Registration’ became effective 1 July 2017. Full details are available on the JDCSA website under ‘Historic Registration’.

Briefly, the new code removed the need for annual Statutory Declarations and three-yearly vehicle inspections, and your car now becomes eligible for Conditional registration if 30 years or more have elapsed since 1 January of the year in which the vehicle was manufactured (i.e. currently 1988). Along with this, a relaxation on modifications has occurred, making it the decision of each Club to determine what is and is not acceptable.

The Jaguar Drivers Club of SA allows any modification (remembering it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure compliance with road rules and roadworthiness), and as well as Jaguars and Daimlers, accepts any make of vehicle (examples include Ferrari, Holden, Morris etc.) There is also a new look Log Book which will be issued for new/replacement books.

A Vehicle Inspection (by JDCSA nominated Club Inspector) is still required for a first time Club Registered vehicle, and the Inspection form (MR334) will be made available to submit to Transport SA so that you can obtain Club Registration. Once registered, your Log Book can then be issued (note that you cannot drive the vehicle until you have a current Log Book). No further inspections are required while the log remains current and the vehicle remains with the same owner.

Once issued, the information on the Conditional Registration Form is sufficient for the Log Book Secretary to issue a Log Book; however, we must also record the vehicle Model (e.g. XJ6, Mk2 etc.) which is not on the Registration Form. We are also required to notify the Motor Registrar if a Log Book owner fails to renew Club Membership (Note: your Membership or Log Book is not renewed on time and you drive your vehicle you are both unregistered and uninsured).

All Log Books expire annually with the Club Membership Year (30 June), and until you renew your JDCSA Membership (renewal forms will be mailed to you in May/June) you cannot have your Log Book renewed, or a new Log Book issued.

As per last year we will be offering to issue/renew Log Books at our June and July General Meetings, provided you have renewed your Membership for 2018/19. If you miss the Meeting, once you have renewed your Membership, simply mail your current Log book with your current registration papers (and a note identifying the Model of vehicle) to me via the Club mailbox.

If you have any questions, please callTHE me onBOTTOM 0417 566 LINE 225 or email [email protected]

Jaguar F-PACE SVR Debuts Quickest and fastest Jaguar SUV packs a blown V8 punch; arrives here this year.

Marton Pettendy Motoring.com.au

Jaguar has revealed a “‘bahn”storming new V8 flagship version of its inaugural SUV, the F-PACE, and it’s the quickest and fastest production SUV ever seen from the leaping cat brand – or its Land Rover sister brand.

Revealed ahead of its world debut at the New York motor show tomorrow, the MY19 Jaguar F-PACE SVR is powered by JLR’s 405kW/680Nm supercharged 5.0- litre V8, making it the only V8-powered F- PACE.

Jaguar to supply 20,000 cars to Google's self-driving spin-off Waymo Deal shows Waymo’s ambition in developing driverless ride-hailing service

Gwyn Topham The Guardian

Jaguar Land Rover is to supply up to 20,000 of its new electric I-Pace cars to Waymo, a subsidiary of Google owner Alphabet to be converted into self-driving vehicles for its ride-hailing service.

The tie-up, worth up to £1.3b (AUD $2.4B) and announced at the New York motor show, is a further mark of Waymo’s ambition in the race with Uber and others to develop a driverless ride-hailing service – as well as a huge boost for Britain’s biggest car manufacturer as it takes it first steps into electric vehicles.

Jaguar will deliver vehicles for Waymo’s ride- hailing service from 2020. Waymo says the 20,000 I-Pace models will provide up to one Above: Jaguar’s I-PACE electric SUV looks set to deliver ride-sharing services in the US (Reuters). million rides a day.

Moonta Show and Shine

The Township of Moonta put on another great day for all car enthusiasts on Sunday the 11th March. With over 120 cars on display, on the main oval, plenty of good food, drinks, the town fair (Free train service to and from) and the sun shining. All this made for a very enjoyable day.

I was able to rent the Fire Brigade Holiday House for the week end and this made the trip even better. We were able to sleep 12 people comfortably.

We only had 6 cars from the XJ,Mk10,420G Register make the trip, but we had such a good time, good food and with plenty of laughs.

We made the most of the display day with the cars we had. We thought that our presentation, although not the biggest, but we believed we did the Jaguar Drivers Club proud. We thought we were a little unlucky in the best car club award. Anyway, we will try again next year.

You know, on these trips away, there is always someone who makes a fool of him or herself. You would not believe, on packing up on Monday morning we told everyone to make sure they don’t leave anything in their rooms!!!

Guess what, a pair of jeans and two T-shirt left in one of the bed rooms. I don’t want to give his name away, but, the fool owns Big Red...

Make sure you come along next year.
