[Nobbc] British Car Week

[Don]

I just got this on Racer Bud's email.  I don't know much about 
British Car Week, but thought it was worth forwarding to others who 
are similarly afflicted by this peculiar obsession with these cars.

British Car Week is an annual British car driving awareness week for 
promoting British cars on a world-wide basis. Participants don't need 
to travel very far for this event, because it takes place in their 
own community. This is a calling for all owners of classic British 
cars to get together with other car owners in their own communities 
and kick tires, tell stories, answer questions, and have a good time.

Best of all, you'll have the chance to show your car off to the 
general public who rarely, or in many cases never have the 
opportunity to get a real life close up glimpse of these extremely 
interesting automobiles of days gone by.

If you're a British car enthusiast reading this, think about how you 
originally became interested in your favorite British car. Chances 
are, you caught a glimpse of one and it quickly swept you off your 
feet. Later, you somehow managed to aquire one, and from that time on 
it has provided you with a lifetime of fun and entertainment. If you 
had not experienced that opportunity, you wouldn't have known about 
the car, and would not have gotten bitten by the famous British car 
bug! Since these cars have become very rare on the roads today, it 
takes a special effort to create awareness for the general public. If 
you're a British car owner/enthusiast that has what it takes, then WE 
WANT YOU!

British Car Week is all about providing opportunities for potential 
enthusiasts to become aware of older model British marques, and 
hopefully generate interest and enthusiasm among the next generation 
who can enjoy and maintain them for many years to come.

If your local car club staff doesn't have anything listed on their 
calendar during May 31 to June 8 this year, then maybe they need to 
become aware of British Car Week.
