BILL’S EXHAUST NOTES Article by Bill Davis, VP, filling in for president, Janet Martin—May-June
Time flies by when we are having fun...30 years of Luckenbach Rallies, 27 Concours,
hosting 2 AGMs, 12 or more trips to Mexico for Concours and Rallies, 30 Christmas par-ties, 1 Christmas parade (more to come), Progressive Dinners, Spring Flings...and the good news...more to come. Our monthly meeting hosted by Victor at his shop was a good time enjoyed by all. I tried to set a record for a brief business meeting...somewhere around 5 minutes and now need to mention a few things in more detail...The Spring Fling hosted by the Jaguar Owners As-soc. of North Texas in Granbury 5/17,18,19. I asked Fran to email a flyer with all of the in-formation to SAJC members. The annual meeting of Texas Jaguar Clubs is a most enjoyable event...since I am sometimes retired, I hope to attend this year. The Wine and Chocolate Tour on June 1 is something to put on your calendar. I am look-ing forward to it...I like wine and I like chocolate!! And I want to mention again the Con-cours Judges Training at Ken James on Saturday, the 25th…to host a Concours we must have 8 certified judges. The whole thing takes about 2 hours...a learning experience for all including those who want to know what judges look for. Brian Blackwell is Chief Judge and instructor. Refreshments (munchies for old hippies) will be served. A flyer will be emailed to all...RSVP would be a good idea. Again, I want to thank Victor for hosting and providing a complimentary Indian food buffet lunch for the monthly meeting. Y’all look at the calendar of events and make plans to join us in good times and good wine (and chocolate) in the upcoming events. Let’s make some more good memories. Still Wild Bill...still driving! ...a couple of photos from Victor’s

Spring Flyer from Welsh Enterprises Email — April, 2019
Change Is on The Way: Ian Callum confirms that Jaguar is Working On A New F-Type
At the 2019 New York Auto Show, Ian Callum told Road & Track that a new generation of
the F-Type is on the way. What that generation of the iconic sports car will entail is still
unknown. The only thing that Callum confirmed to Road & Track is that the new genera-
tion will remain a two-person sports car. He also states that the F-Type outsells the 911 in
some areas of the world and has the same profit per unit as the Range Rover. He also
confirmed that the next generation of the XJ will be ready for next year, but did not com-
ment if the car will be all electric as rumored.
