A Little About Our Region...Our region includes the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, an area that covers over a quarter of a million square miles. We are blessed with stunning and diverse geography ranging from pristine ocean beaches; dense rain forests (that some say are home to vampires, the movie set for the “Twilight Saga” is in Forks, WA); plentiful islands sprinkled throughout a large inland sea (home to the 1859 Pig War, the last armed conflict between Great Britain and America, whose only casualty was a pig); the richest fields of tulips outside Holland; an extension of the Sonoran desert; "amber waves of grain, the purple mountain majesties, and the fruited plain" all within a few miles of each other; and millions of McDonald's French Fries awaiting the harvest. We are fortunate indeed to be able to enjoy our surroundings and, yes, it does rain here, that’s why Washington is called the “Evergreen State”.

Our Regional ActivitiesPhotos from some of our regional activities are shown at right, Actually owning a "Proper Motor Car" (Rolls Royce or Bentley) is not required to participate. Having an interest in such pieces of rolling sculpture is all that is needed. We would love to have you join your fellow car enthusiasts at our next activity.
As each event approaches you will find the details on the page entitled Previews of Coming Attractions. When the activities are announced they information will always be here for your reference in case they are mislaid. . |

Our Regional Publication
Our regional publication "The Jubilee Hose Clamp" was selected as the best RROC Region and Society publication for 2016 and was awarded the McFarlane Award at the 2016 annual meet. It is distributed both as a hard copy and electronically (as each member wishes) on a quarterly basis. The Hose Clamp is packed with information about our activities, technical "how to do it" projects, and previews of coming attractions. To reduce the cost of printing the magazine, the hard copies are partially black and white for the January and April editions, but are in full color for July and October when the bulk of the driving events occur. Those members who wish to receive the electronic version will always be able to view the magazine in full color. The issue shown below is an example of a previous edition.
