Torquin’ Toolboxes

Friday 24-Jan-25 Clubrooms open at 16:00, with the meeting commencing @ 16:30, possibly finishing at 18:30.

Jaguar cars have a hierarchy of knowledge holders of which, I am a bottom feeder however, I’m also a sponge for knowledge of intimate details and toolbox meetings allow me to feed and disseminate of the extensive knowledge held by our elders (and not so old:). Our MK2 was one of those whose toolbox was pilfered, FOR A SOUVENIER, can you believe it! My search for an original 1959 MK2 toolbox, has been enlightening. I now have two, but they are both different, and still not the right one.

I’m inviting you to bring your toolboxes, toolrolls; full or empty, to the meeting where we will put them on display, to inspire discussion. The value of original toolboxes, nowadays, is skyrocketing and can sometimes exceed the value of the car it comes with.

We have an offer to display some of a collector’s extensive range of tools, boxes and rolls. I have two of Roger Payne’s definitive documents for identifying which tools, when and where.

This should prove to be another evening of rigorous debate. Please join us, for another evening of bevies, nibblies and conviviality, as we start this new and exciting 2025

Rev Your Engines for the Annual JCCWA Breakfast Bonanza!

Mark your calendars, folks Sunday 9th February 2025, it's time to roll into the Willong Pavilion at Kings Park for the legendary JCCWA Breakfast in the Park! From 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we’ll transform the park into a Jaguar-studded paradise (with the occasional smell of bacon wafting through).

What to Bring:
Think of this as BYO with a touch of flair plates, cutlery, and all the tasty treats your heart desires. Whether you're whipping up a full English breakfast on the nearby barbecues or rocking a picnic hamper of pastries, the choice is yours. Coffee? Stickybeaks Café has you covered, just follow the aroma over to the Ivey Watson playground.

Essentials Covered:
Toilets? Check. Scenic views? Absolutely. Parking? Well... that's where the fun begins. Arrive early unless you fancy a game of "Where Can I Squeeze My Jaguar?"

Limited Spots:
We’ve capped the numbers at 40 attendees (no, not because we’re exclusive Kings Park can only handle so much Jaguar excellence). So don’t forget to register unless you fancy being left out of the breakfast frivolities.

See you there, shine your Jaguar, sharpen your appetite, and bring your sense of humor! ☕

Join Us for a Night of Drama, Laughter, and Unexpected Twists!

My friend and director behind the acclaimed play "Disposing of the Body," Gordon Park, has a special invitation just for JCCWA members! Mark your calendars for the Limelight Theatre’s performance of "Disposing of the Body" on Saturday, March 1st, from 7:30 PM at Civic Drive, Wanneroo.

What’s It All About?

Imagine life gently slipping into a serene summer twilight, ideal for relaxation and maybe a hammock nap. But not for Henry Preece! As he steps into early retirement with his charming wife, things start to unravel in the most delightfully chaotic ways.
Henry reflects, “All my life, I’ve either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come.” Little does he know, his quest for a peaceful retirement will have him flinging open doors he probably should’ve left shut!

In Hugh Whitemore’s elegant and tantalizing play, expect a perfect blend of mystery, unexpected passion, and just the right amount of mayhem to keep you entertained from start to finish.

Why You Absolutely Need to Be There:

Amazing Value: Limelight Theatre is offering a fantastic block booking deal at only $24 per member a real bargain compared to Perth’s usual theatre prices!

Limited Seats Available: Just like the plot twists in the play, these seats won’t last long! I have reserved forty seats available until 27th January when they are gone there is no more so register early to ensure you snag your seats.

Support Local Talent: Enjoy a stellar performance while supporting our vibrant local theatre community. It’s a win-win!

Whether you’re a theatre enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic evening out, "Disposing of the Body" promises to deliver laughs, intrigue, and maybe a few surprises along the way and maybe a bit of self-reflection.

Dear Desley Soden & Stuart Coleman,

Before the Second World War a young Italian man, Cosmo Nesci, traveled from his hometown in Calabria to settle in Perth (Western Australia), where he purchased 1000 acres of rugged bushland in Lower Chittering. There he and his family initially farmed Hereford cows. Over the years, three generations of Nesci’s developed this beautiful property to become the Nesci Wine Farm Estate that we know today.

We have arranged a lunch run to Nesci Estate Winery in Chittering, where Moustachery BBQ would be on hand to serve up premium smoked meat meals. We believe the scenic backdrop of Nesci Estate, combined with the rich, smoky flavors of our slow-cooked BBQ, would provide the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable club gathering.

Here’s what we envision for the event:

For members who want to travel together we will meet at the Midland Gate Shopping Centre Car Park, Great Eastern Hwy, Midland at 10-00am on Sunday 16th March and drive to Nesci Estate Winery. For those members who want to go their own way lunch will be served from 12-30pm.

For members who want to travel together we will meet at the Dome in Midland at        9-30am on Sunday 16th March and drive to Nesci Estate Winery. For those members who want to go their own way lunch will be served from 12-30pm.

Moustachery BBQ will offer meal packages with options like smoked brisket, pork ribs, and other favourites, paired perfectly with wines from Nesci Estate.

Reserved Parking and Showcasing Area: Nesci Estate will arrange a dedicated parking and display area for club vehicles, allowing members to showcase their classic cars in a stunning setting.

A Unique Wine and Dine Experience: With the picturesque views and premium wines at Nesci Estate, this event would offer club members an ideal spot to relax, enjoy some great food, and connect with fellow members.
