       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.

From 101 take University Ave. west, go under the Alma Street overpass, and turn right onto the El Camino Real.

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

One of the fellows in the local chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of
America, that I belong to, got an email from a fellow that is looking for
a Richard E. Carlson.

Supposedly, he had a Morgan and was stationed in the Tidewater area while
in the Navy at some point.

If anyone know anything about Richard, how to contact him, etc., please 
let me know.

TIA

Fun SoCal Event! - Labor Day

Labor Day is coming! That means it's time to get your British classic tuned
up in preparation for the 2007 All British Labor Day Run. September 3, 2007
~ Malibu, California

This is the third and final holiday run for the season, so don't miss out!
The Labor Day Run caters to those who love twisty canyon roads, and is
definitely not for anyone who suffers car sickness. The route follows some
of the most fun sports car roads in the Santa Monica mountains, but is
perfectly suitable for sedans or slower drivers as well.

We will meet at the Malibu Colony Plaza located at 23841 West Malibu Road,
at the southwest corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Webb Way,
approximately 12 miles northwest from where I-10 t runs into PCH.  Meeting
time is 8:45 AM with rollout at 9:30 AM.

This is an unorganized  event. Everyone is welcome !

There is a restaurant (Coogie9s) in the plaza for breakfast and a Starbucks
for coffee and
snacks, but you may want to call ahead to make sure they will be open on
the holiday. Fuel is expensive in Malib  so yo  may want to fill  p a few
miles before yo  arrive.
There is little fuel available on the driving route unless yoo take a
detour into town.

There also is a serious lack of restrooms along this route. There is no
shortage of bushes but
not much civilization!  Your best bet for an actual toilet is on Pacific
Coast Highway near
Las Flores Canyon Road.  Keep this in mind when you9re ordering that second
cup of
coffee.

For anyone coming from out of the area, there is a nice "Good Night Inn" in
Calabasas, ten minutes from Malibu. Rates are reasonable (around $60) with
AAA discounts.
