As a group of us were sitting around the table at lunch the other day I remarked to Jerry that I had received a rather terse email indicating the newsletter deadline had passed and that any new items would have to wait until the June newsletter. I also indicated that the general call reminder for items had not been given. My word, the clock can roll back with such ease. For a few seconds I was taken back about 45 years and was face to face with a stern college professor who was contemplating what to do with a lame excuse that had been used so NCJOC President Bob Engh many times before by so many students! I am happy to say that I was given a little extra time for this note. Thank you, Jerry, and lesson learned.* That brings me to my first point of the newsletter . Recently, Michelle Dawson and Suzanne Motta sent out a letter concerning Judging and judges training for the September Concours. To date, they have received only a few responses even though they sent along postage paid envelopes. I cannot hope to replicate Jerry’s professorial look but it is very important that the forms are completed and returned. On a lighter note and to the fun parts: Late breaking news – John Larson takes 1 st and Michelle Dawson and Vic Powell take 3 rd at the British Car show in Lewes Delaware – Congratulations! A small group made the relatively short drive to Lewes and were treated to a healthy dose of spectacular seashore weather, superb camaraderie and, of course, a weekend of our wonderful British cars. This was so much more than just a group going to a show, as it was so thoroughly planned by Bob and Betty Andrews. We need to give a very strong thank you to Bob and Betty. Events: • May 13 th is the British Car show at City Imports in Glen Burnie, MD, for pre-1980 cars. This is a show to benefit Partners in Care Maryland and carries a $15 entry fee. My 66 is not ready but we will be supportive spectators to this very worthwhile event. Pre register by calling Dennis Pye at (410) 768-6661. We look forward to a good showing. • May 21 st is “In Vino Veritas”, is a wine and cheese tasting along with an exotic car display at St John’s College in Annapolis, MD. We will send out a full description of the event, as it takes place at the civilized hours of 4:30 – 7:30pm. The location is terrific and fits with our desire to support events throughout the sprawling NCJOC geographic area. • May 29 th is judges training at my residence. The garage will be complete and we look forward to refreshing currently certified judges and qualifying new members. Lunch will be served and I believe you should all have a good time. Please let me know in advance if you plan to attend so I can do a little preparation. I realize that this is Memorial Day Weekend but the calendar has made it difficult to fit in all of the necessary training dates. • ”Garage Mahal” progress. This is certainly turning out to be quite an exercise. All of the walls and ceiling have been completed and painted. It took quite an effort and a lot of “mud” , tape, sandpaper and paint. The area is so much brighter. The new workbench is in and all cabinets have been assem- (Continued on page 5) Cover: The Old and the New.

The Jaguar’s Roar May 2011 5 See Air Force One Join the Club 7-10 July for a drive to Dayton, Ohio and a visit to the Air Force Aviation Museum. This is the “World’s largest military aviation Museum with more than 360 aerospace vehicles and missiles on display.” For detailed information see February Roar. Some club members may already be in Columbus, for the Challenge Championship These dates allow those at the Challenge to make the 60 mile drive and join us at the Museum on Friday the 8th. Due to Museum exhibit floor space and the additional tours offered, this can be an all day event or shaped to meet your own interests and endurance. See the February Roar for more details. On Saturday we plan to visit the Packard Car Museum, also located in Dayton. The Hilton Garden Inn Beavercreek, (937) 458-2650, will be the center point for this stay. Call the Hilton direct as management said the rooms are booking up. (GPS for hotel is 3520 New Germany-Trebein Road Dayton) We got an AARP rate of $107 per night. There are other accommodations on the I-State as we come into town. We are planning one group evening meal. The drive is about 450 miles each way.

Finally, I am not sure whether the floor will be complete this summer because a small part of existing concrete must be repaired before we can apply an epoxy finish. There has been some advice indicating a potential concrete cure time requirement of 60-90 days before the epoxy is applied. If this is the case then I must wait – darn! In any case, when it is fully complete I will share my experience in detail. What I will share now is that there are no before photos because I just cannot believe the difference or that I managed to keep my prized Jaguars in such a space!
