       THE PALO ALTO BRITISH CAR MEET
El Camino Park - Just Across From Stanford Center

       September Eighth & Ninth, 2007

Join us for the most historic British automotive lawn event in California. 400 
quirky, classic, and thoroughly lovable British cars are expected to grace the 
field at El Camino Park for the 30th Annual Palo Alto British Car Meet.  
Joining us again this year will be the cool little cars from around the world 
in the Arcane Auto Society.

 SUNDAY CAR SHOW - SEPTEMBER 9th - 9:00AM - 5:00PM

Join your British car friends for a smashing day at the park. Don't have a show 
car?  Don't worry!  Daily drivers, vintage racers, street rods and 
works-in-progress are as welcome as Concours quality restorations.  British 
food, jazz, and this year, there'll be individual marque awards in a minimum
of 15 classes.

We will start placing cars on the field at about 9:00AM and the fun goes on all 
day!  There is no preregistration and all entrants will receive a commemorative 
gift. The registration fee is $25 per car at the gate. Spectators attend for 
free.

 SATURDAY MORNING BACKROAD TOUR TO THE SEA - SEPTEMBER 8th

The British Car Meet TOUR TO THE SEA starts at El Camino Park in Palo Alto - 
the same place as the Sunday Car Show. This is a no-cost option for people who 
like to drive their cars as well as show 'em. We will be sending cars off 
between 8:30AM and 10:30AM. A map will be provided. The tour ends at Cameron's 
Pub in Half Moon Bay where we will be kicking tyres and telling tall tales well 
into the afternoon.

El Camino Park is located on the El Camino, just north of University Ave,

Palo Alto British Car Meet's Final Year At El Camino Park

Dear Readers,
It is with great regret that I must report that this year will be the last for 
the 30-year-old Palo Alto British Car Meet at El Camino Park.

DON'T FRET - WE'LL STILL BE PUTTING ON THE SAME EVENT AT A NEW LOCATION!

The park is going to be reconstructed into an emergency reservoir for Palo Alto 
and rebuilt using astroturf on the fields. No more car shows as oil and gas 
will damage the new surface.

While this year will be our last at El Camino Park, we are still planning to 
provide the same show that you all have come to expect - British cars & trucks, 
arcane cars (international), lawn setting, jazz, proper British breakfasts and 
lunches and prizes in a bunch of classes. Come join us for the last waltz at El 
Camino Park on September 8th & 9th, 2007

We are already looking for a new venue for 2008 and we will keep you posted in 
The British Car Network. We would like to thank all of you, especially the 
marque clubs, for 30 years of enthusiastic support and all of the fun and good 
cheer that you have brought to these meets and our hobby ingeneral.

Long live the British car and the people who cherish them .........

Best,
Rick Feibusch,
British Car Network
Palo Alto British Car Meet Coordinator
