April 9 2022 the club met at the LeMay Collection at Marymount for a tour.

Anyone that arrived early gathered in the parking lot.

Kurt used the opportunity to pass on JCNA awards to Roy Pringle and Ron Smith.

Roy Pringle received 1st Place Newsletter Award for his JagMag photo of the 2021 Jaguars on the Green. Go back and look at the 2021 Sep Bonus issue, page 20, to see this photo.

Ron Smith received an award for his technical article about changing Mark 10 shocks. To read that article, go to the Mar 2021 JagMag, pg 11.

Now this is an old vehicle!

Once we all checked in, they split us into two groups for guided tours.

L-R one of the guides then Kurt Hrubant, Bob Alness, then new members Marjorie Brazier and Ian McFall.

L-R Bob Alness, Ian McFall, Bob's friend Gee, Brian Case, Richard Scott and Tom Swayze.

Our guide had everyone chuckling.

The amount of "stuff" in their collection is amazing!

Seattle Jaguar Club

On March 26th, 2022 the Seattle Jaguar Club got to tour BritSport of Seattle.

Mark Jones is the proprietor of Britsport of Seattle and we are grateful that he opened his shop for our club to tour.

The green 1955 DB Lagonda 3 Litre Saloon has an interesting story. You will have to ask Mark to tell it to you.

It was a very casual tour, people could wander around, socialize, ask Mark any questions they had and maybe even get an appointment setup for their car. Linda sipping her coffee!

Bill Holmes made it to this event.

Is John Holmes working on that car?

This is CJ and Leo Taflin (and the dog they are pet sitting) in front of their 1970 XKE Roadster's bonnet.

And here is the rest of the Taflin's XKE.

Ron Smith with his friend but I can't remember his name.

John Wiley came to this event.

Beautifully restored XK150 body on a support jig

This photo shows more of the support jig. The jig prevents the body panels from flexing prior to mounting on the chassis.

Debbie Jones, Mark's wife, provided everyone with coffee and sweets to enjoy.

Peter Downing talking to Ron Smith.

Roy Pringle and Ken Freed. Everyone was using their hands to describe stuff!

Len and Maura Shank checking out the cars.

L-R Douglas Jackson, Brian's back, Ken Freed and Jeff Beatty.

Mark was very low key but available to talk to people and answer questions.

While John Wiley checks the wonderful memorabilia you have to ask, what is Glen Read describing to Ray Papineau??

Who can guess what this car is that Ray Papineau is standing by?

Mike Hunsley and Dann & Laverne Gadbois.

Doug Jackson on left, brought a friend, Bob Willits, with red ballcap.

Looks like John and Trish Blackburn are looking for John's post retirement.

It was nice to see Linda Roberts get to make one of our events.

Glen Read, Brian Case and Walt Crush.

Bonnets and more Bonnets

Early XK120, right hand drive.

Mark works on all sorts of British cars.

Walt Crush and his 2003 XK8 convertible in Zircon Blue. This was the first time meeting him, so I had to get a pic of him and his car!

Mark with Jeremy Katz. We had not met Jeremy before this.

Dann & LaVerne Gadbois talking with the Hjelm's son. I had a nice conversation with LaVerne. Learned that she had been a librarian.

Brian and Dann and Mark chatting. Posed for me is Mark Zenor. I had not met him before. His claim to fame is being the last name on an alphabetical listing of all our members!

Seattle Jaguar Club

On 3/20/22 we had 10 Seattle Jaguar Club members meet at AL LAGO Ristorante Italiano in Lake Tapps, WA.

Since we weren't a large group we were all able to sit at one table. It was nice to have such an intimate group and get to know one another a little better.

Clockwise, Cheryl Jacobson, (can't see Brian, Paul Petach, Sue Kingston, Margaret Ames and Tom Hilton.

Kurt trying to get everyone in his photo.

Paul, Kurt and Sue.

Kurt and Cheryl Jacobson.

Trish and John Blackburn said they frequent this restaurant on a regular basis.

Margaret Ames and Tom Hilton. I enjoyed sitting aross from Margaret and having a chance to talk.

Sharon and Brian Case

SALUTE!

That pizza really looked good!

The Terra e Mare with prawns, Italian sausage and penne pasta was one of the waitresses favorites and was recommended by Trish. It was good!

Rigatoni Wild Boar Bolognese was a dish you don’t often see.

At the end of dinner Paul talked about having to take a large suitcase to the upcoming JCNA annual general meeting because he was going to be bringing several awards home to distribute.

Seattle Jaguar Club

On 3/12/2022 the Seattle Jaguar Club had a St Patrick's Drive from Port Gamble to Gig Harbor where we met for dinner at the Dunnagan Irish Pub & Brewery. What other Jaguar clubs could have a ferry ride before their drive?

Brian Case at the railing on the Edmonds to Kingston ferry.

Everyone met in Port Gamble to start the drive.

L-R, John Voigt, Kent and Lisa Wiken, Brian's back and Tom Hilton.

We were all interested in Art Foley's 1961 series I E-Type. I forget the number but it was a very early production car.

A look inside Art Foley's series I E-Type.

We stopped along the drive at this Hood Canal Visitor Center.

Vehicle on left is Craig and Wendy's new F Pace SVR, then Kent and Lisa Wikens XF and Art Foley's E-Type.

Tom Hilton and Margaret Ames 2004 XK8 convertible.

We did run into some rain along the way but it was towards the end and not too bad. What was unusual was that all of us were able to stay together from beginning to end of this Hood Canal drive.

Red Jaguar in the parking lot belonged to Roy's friend Bill Hay.

Brian Case enjoying the conversations!

Back to the camera is Ann Alness then Margaret Ames, Cheryl and Kurt Jacobson, Bob Alness and Tom Hilton.

L-R, Sue Kingston, Lisa and Kent Wiken, Craig and Wendy Duckering and Paul Petach. I think Paul had suggested this event but Kent did all the legwork to organize it. It was a great drive and good dinner.

L-R, Bob Alness, Tom Hilton, Ann Alness and Margaret Ames.

I liked their wood carved name plague.

L-R, Roy Pringle, Ana Alvernaz, Art Foley, Brian Case, John Voigt and Roy's friend Bill Hay. We had a little fun, when Ana arrived late, our table all stood up and clapped for her.

I just want to point out the woman at the back, at the next table. Her name is Majorie Brazier and her husband is Ian Mcfall. They arrived at the pub in their S-Type Jaguar and were very surprised to see the parking lot full of Jags! They were very interested to hear about our club and all the things we are doing. They have since paid their dues and joined the club and joined our event at LeMay Collection at Marymount.

Seattle Jaguar Club

On Feb19 2022 the Seattle Jaguar Club members met at Thomas Swayze's house to view his collection. He has the perfect estate to show off his collection!

When we arrived Ray Papineau was there to help everyone get parked on the lawn.

With Ray's help everyone was evenly lined up!

Craig & Wendy Duckering posed for me in their new 2021 F Pace SVR, Eiger Grey color.

I met Barrie and Karen Hutchison and got them to pose in front of their XJ Jaguar.

Ray Papineau's red XJS and my Topaz S-Type.

As people parked we gathered on the lawn and visited. Tom Swayze in the center. CJ & Leo Taflin on the left. Art Foley then Tom Hilton on the right.

The first cars we saw in the collection were a 2011 XJL, a 2000 Vanden Plas and a 1967 340. Kurt starting to take pictures right away.

The first car that Tom put on display for us was his 1950 Mk V Sedan.

He gave us the highlights of the model and of his ownership.

We all had time to gawk at it.

And Tom answered any questions we had.

The tool kit in the trunk is a great feature!

John Voigt thinks so too!

The front door opens opposite of most vehicles.

What is everyone looking at?

Oh, it must be the engine.

The Mark V is an awesome Jaguar!

Inside the garage we could see how organized Tom is. He does much of his own work on the vehicles!

He told us about this 1989 XJS.

It was on the lift for a tire change.

Hidden in the back was a 1930 Model A Town Sedan.

1972 XJ6 in Carnival Red.

L-R Craig & Wendy Duckering, Ray Papineau, Bob Alness, Bob Book. There was an old English phone booth with a working phone inside.

Tom parked the Mark V on the circle drive.

And the next vehicle he talked about was the 1967 340. Some of the members L-R Kurt Jacobson, Jeff Beatty, Barrie Hutchinson, Terry Mathisen, Ron Smith, Doug Jackson, Ken MacKenzie, Tom Bohn, Tom Swayze.

Just because I haven't pointed him out anywhere else, Ehab Sahawneh is on the far right.

After the 340 came the 2000 Vanden Plas

The backseat has a lot of leg room.

The next Jaguar Tom talked about was his 2011 XJ L

The color, I think, was Black Cherry.

Bob Alness and Bob Book in front of 1997 XK8.

Engine of the XK8

We took a break and went inside for lunch. Tom had prepared a wonderful lunch with ham and potatoe salad and cole slaw. The cole slaw was different, with cranberries and pecan pieces. I loved it and had to ask for the recipe.

L-R Ron Smith, Inger & Ulf Goranson and Richard Scott. Richard helped Tom host this event and was super thoughtful.

It was an opportunity to visit with other club members. Margaret Ames and Cheryl Jacobson sitting at the counter with Tom Hilton behind Margaret. Just so you know Tanya Book also attended, she is in the back with the jaguar print top.

L-R Karen & Barrie Hutchinson and Ken MacKenzie.

Ron Smith and Craig Cootsona on the right, had a chance to chat.

Roy Pringle on left and Tom Hilton on right.

Tom Swayze on left and Karen Hutchinson on right.

A vehicle that Tom did not bring out was a 1978 Rolls Royce.

Rolls Royce memorabilia.

The last car we viewed was a 1938 Rolls Royce Phantom III

The interior had so much room!

It was a fun end to a great presentation of a great car collection. We can't thank Tom and Richard enough for opening their home and garages to the club!

Those headlights were huge!
