Spring has sprung this morning!Time to let the cats out to play.We had a great turnout for the drive to the Historic Auto Attraction in Roscoe last Saturday.And that was in spite of some very unspringlike weather.
That weather will just be a distant memory when we drive to Poets, Presidents, and Motorcycles May 20.Registration for that spring drive is now open.If you are planning to join us make your hotel reservation now!The room block at the Holiday Inn Express in Le Clairecloses April 20!There is a special rate for the Illinois Jaguar Club of $146/night for standard room and $192/night for river view563-289-9978

Come for the day or the weekend.There's sure to be great roads, good food, and Jaguarcamaraderie.
On April 1, with the weather playing a cold, rainy, windy joke, a group of mostly Jaguars left Geneva for a backroad drive to Roscoe, IL and the Historic Auto Attraction.This recently enlarged 90,00 square foot facility houses a history of transport going back to covered wagons.There are gangster cars, a large Kennedy collection including the Secret Service car from Dallas, race cars, superhero and TV cars.After a very educational couple of hours we headed to the Thunder Bay Grill for a warming lunch and a little natter n' noggin.
Thank you Mike and Dennis Smith for planning a great event.
