Now that my work career is approaching a more stable point (no, I'm not near retirement age!), I find myself with extra time to devote to my hobbies - LBCs certainly at the top of the list. If VTR needs any "busy work" or admin kinds of things done, I would like to volunteer! I'm quite handy with the PC, networking, etc. and, frankly, would enjoy some real task oriented work since my career has been one mostly of planning!

Next year Ken will be co-chairing the VTR 2000 Mid-Atlantic Regionals so I will also be busy. I am not in the habit of missing National Conventions.

Phillips" To: vtr-www@vtr.sanders.com Subject: RE: 1971 GT-6 Mark III Dear Sirs, I am a TR-250 owner located in Lexington, KY. A friend of mine is in the market for a TR-6 and came upon a local owner selling a 1971 GT-6 by parking it in her front yard with a "for sale" sign on it. Believe it or not, this car is owned by an older woman and has only 52,000 original miles on it. Seems solid with little/no rust and is in working order. Has only minor dents/scratches etc. I think this is a good car for someone in the market and feel she might come down from her $3,500 asking price. Her phone number is: 606 269-6414. I am not in the market and have no personal/professional/business relationship with the seller. I feel someone in VTR club looking for such a car might give it a good home and I would prefer to see it bought by an enthusiast who will restore it rather than someone who might use it up and junk it.

You will notice that both opposing weekends are included this year for more driving time for those of you who are more likely to get your cars out and drive them during the weekends. You will also notice that in many cases the word "Drivers" has been added to the title. I've seen this title used by others, and I feel that it is a great idea because the week is all about driving our British cars. Either way, it's still the same week. As many of you may already know, next spring marks the fourth annual British Car "Drivers" Week. This is a world wide event for all British marques with the intent that it will continue to grow in popularity as the years go by. This idea was prompted by a magazine article written by fellow British car enthusiast, Peter Egan, for the March 1997 issue of Road & Track magazine. Peters' article centered on the fact that there is a lack of old classic sports cars seen driven on roads today, and how much he misses seeing some of his favorite classic marque's of the past driving on the roads of his town. The British car community responded quickly to his plea, and shortly after that article was published, the first annual British Car Week was initiated. This "awareness" week is intended for all British car owners to get their cars out on the roads in their locality, to have some fun with them, and promote them for all to see and appreciate. While doing so, we'll do what we can to recreate the days when these cars were a much more common sight on the byways of North America and beyond. Of course we'll never be able to populate the roads with these cars like they once were, but we can make a difference for one week per year. By getting our cars out on the roads at the same time during this week, we can create an awareness in our own part of the world that these unique, charming, fun cars are still around and doing well, thus hoping to create some new or renewed interests in them to help keep our hobby and related clubs and businesses going strong. Very recently in my part of the Country, I've witnessed some changes that I hope are only temporary. One longtime, honorable major event promoter has announced that he will no longer be promoting a British car event that has been one of the staples of the Midwest for around 23 years. In another case, a local British car club president has announced a merger of his club with another group of British car clubs because no one answered the plea for new club officers. I also recently received an e-mail from a gentleman from Maryland who is trying to get a British car driving event together in his area during next years British Car Drivers Week. He submitted an article in a club newsletter asking for interested people to respond. So far, he's only received one reply, and it was not favorable. Are these occurrences early signs of the fate of our hobby, or just some rare cases? I don't know. I do know the British car hobby seems to be doing quite well in other instances, but like others, when I hear about situations like these, I can't help but realize how important it is to continue to promote the hobby, and hope there will be others who will step forward and take over some of the duties that are so important to all of us and our cars. The more people who volunteer to help with club activities, the less of a burden on the rest, thus less tendency for burnout for the people who work so hard to support our clubs. In any case, this is a plea for all British car enthusiasts to do what they can to help promote British cars and this very important British car promotional event. Let your club officials know about this week. Get together with your club and plan something during this celebrated week, get the date listed within your clubs newsletter calendar, post it on your internet web page, or simply get your car out and drive it more often in your home town during the week. The most important objective is to have some fun, spend some quality time with your car, and in turn, hope to attract some new enthusiasts. If you're interested in helping to promote this week among the people and clubs that support your favorite marque, please contact me at: Trmgafun@aol.com. This would not take up a lot of your time, but simply require that you contact the leaders of the clubs that are related to your favorite marque, and make sure they are aware of British Car Week and what it's all about, and hope they will help us promote it. If interested, I would add your name and e-mail address to a list, and would provide you with updates of any information regarding British Car Week that you could pass along. If you would like to post your own British car related event that will take place during British Car Week, feel free to let me know, and I will post it on the BCW web page for others in your area to learn about. This past May, I noticed an upsurge of British cars driving around my home town during BC Week as well as some classic German and Italian models that I hadn't seen before the week started, and haven't seen since the week ended. Maybe we've got some competition!! Thanks for your time, and hope to see you on the road. Scott Helms Visit the web page: http://members.aol.com/Trmgafun/britishcarweek.html
