THE BRISBANE MARINA BRITISH CAR DAY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th, 2009 And now for something completely different..... Join your British car friends, once again, for a smashing day at the Brisbane Marina. Over 200 quirky, classic, and lovable British cars will once again gather in the Bay Area for our 32nd Annual British Car Meet. We have been doing this on the same weekend for over 30 years and just because the times, they are a-changin,b webll be a-changinb with the times. After careful consideration of the present economy, fading sponsorship, and smaller attendance, combined with the decentralization of the hobby in general and a number of new competing Northern California events, we have decided to try something that is quite like the first British Car Meet held in Palo Alto in 1978. A one day FREE event .......... That's right, FREE.... Sunday Parking Lot Show & Tell: This will be a simple, no fees, no frills, no awards gathering of British and Arcane car enthusiasts. We have made arrangements with the good folks at the Sierra Point Yacht Club to set up in the parking lots around the club. As last year, the Yacht Club will be offering an optional Sunday brunch and coffee. It all starts Sunday morning at 8:30AM. Sunday Bay To Breakers Tour To Cameron's Pub: These tours take you over some of the most beautiful roads in Northern California. There will be two optional routes; one direct yet still quite scenic, and another with a backroad component. We will be starting tour cars from a staging area by the entrance. Cars will leave in small groups between about 8:30 and 10:00AM - The shorter route should take less than an hour and the backroads route will take a bit more than an hour... Cars should start gathering at Cameron's at about 10:00AM, a combination of early tour drivers and people who live near the coast. Directions To The Brisbane Marina: The Brisbane Marina is located on Sierra Point, just east of the Bayshore Freeway (101) in Brisbane, between San Francisco and the SF Airport/Highway 380. Just take the Brisbane/Sierra Point Exit and follow the signs to the Marina. Cameron's Pub is located at 1410 S. Cabrillo Hwy in Half Moon Bay. It is just south of downtown on the west side of the coast highway.

This event is free & open to all owners of European, classic, high performance and any unique imported cars of particular interest. Emphasis will be on cars produced pre-1975. Also, unique cars from other continents welcome as well! This is a good excuse to take a drive to a Bay Area destination, blow the cobwebs out of the carburettors and meet with other local enthusiasts. NEW LOCATIONb&b&.. Simply Greek Restaurant, 4220-C Rosewood Drive, Pleasanton, CA - Phone: 925-463-8801 - Website:(www.simply-greek.com) Conveniently located in the Rose Pavilion near Santa Rita Road & Rose Pavilion Road (Just minutes from the Hwy 580/Santa Rita Road freeway exit) As before, this is an informal, relatively last minute gathering & an excuse to leave the "Honey Do" list behind as you "run to the hardware store for some parts." Since the last gathering of about 50 cars, we've had numerous requests to "Do it again." So, before the car show season gets into full swing, here we go again! We've got considerably more space at the Rose Pavilion as a result of a number of fairly large businesses that have vacated their properties.The Simply Greek restaurant parking lot (& adjacent area) will accommodate upwards of 75 cars. Simply Greek welcomes our group and offers unique, quality food (consistent with our cars!!). Within walking distance there are also a few other restaurants including TGIF, Asian, etc. As with the last event, the success of the event was largely due to enthusiasts spreading the word to friends, car clubs and those that who would like to see a casual collection of unique cars. THIS EVENT IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE: - Tired of "American Only" car gatherings with virtually no Foreign, Euro or interesting (to you) cars on display - Interested in a Saturday drive destination to meet with other Foreign car enthusiasts on a beautiful, sunny California day and tell car "tales" - Owner's of a wide range of foreign sports, specialty, high performance and unique vehicles are welcome to bring vehicles in any condition including; "drivers", show level examples, exotics, and even interesting "RIP" (Restorations in Progress) - Interested in meeting other foreign car owners and possibly organizing driving events and other activities for certain types / groups of cars - Have a car for sale and would like some free advertising to a group of potentially interested buyer's Sound interesting? If so, please join us for a few hours (or as long as you care to stay) of very informal socializing and viewing of some interesting cars. No need to RSVP, sign upb&just show up and let's see how many cars we can attract.

Hughie had the body work and paint done by a local restomod painter and the car is beautiful. the color is a lazer Blue- Im sure it isnt an original color but when you see it, Im sure you will agree, the car is as nice as Ive seen. I donated a 1725 to which he installed the S2 clutch. I wasnt helping during this phase but I did advise him by phone. I had him contact Rick at SS and buy a S5 clutch. he immediately installed it. yep backwards. He called me for help when the car wouldn't move. I pulled the tranny but he left the state again. Hughie works for Joy and travels often to work on and install long wall systems at coal mines all over the world. Recently he called and said the tranny was in and the clutch turned around work wise.I have everything except the gas linkage working. Hugh is used to working on BIG things as he breaks bolts and then wants to "coal mine" the repair. No way would I allow him to drill the bolt out in the exhaust manifold large enough to push a bolt thru and nut the thing. Im sure everyone will enjoy meeting Hugh. being from Scotland he is one funny guy and he sure likes to drink and that will it right in with some of our members. See ya at Suni.

I would like to have a good cross section of cars, from all of the manufacturers. Our only requirement is that the cars are to have been built prior to around 1970. If you are interested in showing your car, please let me know off list. More information at http://eyesondesigncarshow.com. Cheers, Doug -- Doug Mitchell dmitchel at sbcglobal.net
