"There are a number of cars that come every year that are very unique." The appearance of these vehi- cles depends almost entirely on the weather, since most of them are show cars which are trail- cred from show to show. By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff The event - which attracts Jaguar owners from all over Canada and the north eastern United States - will be open to the public from ll a.m, to 4 p.m. The nominal $2 admission ($1 for children) will allow visi- tors to stroll the 54-acre college grounds and view as many as 80 mint condition vintage automo- biles - some as much as 50-plus years old.

Vintage Jaguars like this one belonging to David Litt, of Oakville, will be on display at Appleby College this Saturday when the Ontario Jaguar Owners Association (OJOA) hosts its Annual Concours D' Elegance. OJOA Concours D'Elegance 0 When you come to a stop, keep your right foot on the brake, shift to neutral and remove your left foot from the clutch pedal to Cl Do not use your clutch to prevent drifting backwards when starting on an up-hill grade. This increases wear of the clutch mechanism. Instead, use your brake. 0 Each time you engage the clutch there is heat produced from friction and, consequently, wear. To minimize slippage, engage it as quickly as possible without causing the car to jerk. Here are a few clutch-saving tips from the Car Care Council: Although modern clutches sel- dom need servicing, a "stick shift" driver does need to be sen- sitive to the feel and operation of his vehicle's clutch which, on a manual transmission. Using the clutch properly and being aware of wear symptoms or other mal- functions can prevent unneces- sary inconvenience and expense. Id timers may remember 0 the days of the grabbing, jerking and chattering clutch.

According to Litt, it's also possible a 1953 C type Jaguar raced at Le Mans will be on hand as well. 0 Always remove the car keys and lock your car. ct If you are leaving items in the car, put them where they can't be seen - and make sure they don't have your name or address on them. Never leave credit cards in the car. Owners of all varieties will be more than willing to talk about their prized possessions, said Lin. At l2:30 p.m. cars will start their way through two large tents erected on site in order to be judged. Trophies will be awarded by vehicle age and model. Owners can accumulate points by attending a series of similar Jaguar-sponsored shows which culminate in the national The time when many peo- ple feel most vulnerable 7 is when they are either leaving or returning to a parked car - particularly at night. Parking lots are usually quiet or deserted. Many are poorly lit. They are often behind or under buildings, far from people who could respond to cries for help. Rows of parked cars make great hiding places for would-be thieves and muggers. Although parking lots can be dangerous places, there are several steps you can take to make parking safer: . Don't make yourself target in parking lot With normal use the clutch should last the life of the car, concludes the Council. Abuse it, and your car may act like it's in neutral when you’re ready to get up and go. If your car acts like it has clutch problems, don't delay; consult a qualified technician to prevent further damage. Don't ignore the signs of clutch trou- ble. Most cars today have no clutch adjustment, other than the linkage (for pedal travel). Excessive wear generally calls for rebuilding of the clutch mechanism, including a new pressure plate and throw-out bearing. a Stay cool if you get stuck. Be gentle on your vehicle when trying to extricate yourself from ice, snow, mud or sand. Fast wheel spinning or rapid rocking back and forth can overheat the clutch and transmission. a When a clutch wears, usual- ly because of pressure plate or clutch friction disc wear, it may chatter or slip. As the condition gets worse the engine will speed up with little or no power at the wheels. the brake. This saves wear and tear on the throw-out bearing. D Before you leave the car, look around carefully. When you do leave the car, walk briskly and confidently to the exit or elevator. Do not be dis- tracted. C] When parking, back your vehicle into the parking stall, so that you are facing "out" when- ever you enter or exit your vehi- cle. This tactic both increases your visibility of the surround- ing area, and also allows you to drive away more quickly if you are being approached by a stranger. Acting as Concours announc- er at Appleby College will be Oakville's Peter Draycott, an original member of the OJOA who helped found the group in 1959. championship Last year's show was reward- ed with as many as 800 specta- tors - the biggest turnout ever. a If you don't know the parking lot well and are worried about its' safety, consider driv- ing right through to see if every- thing appears normal before you park. If it doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. Either leave and find somewhere else to park, or drive around until someone else drives in; then park near them, and leave the lot or garage with them. The I993 event will mark the fourth time its has been held at Appleby. During the preceding 20 years, the OJOA held its Concours at a variety of loca- tions. The non-profit OJOA, which boasts 200 members, meets the second Wednesday of the month at the Montgomery Inn Mississauga. a month to park closer to your workplace or to the elevator you're worth it. 1n
