I wanted to make everyone aware of a British car gathering on Sept. 22nd in Hendersonville,NC. I'm planning on attending and it would be great to see other forum members there. Details can be found on the attached link.

British Car Club of Western North Carolina

 

Will look into it. Thanks

 

Will do my best to attend.

 

Sounds like fun, hope to see you there. Jim

 

Hey Folk,

FYI, I just called the Inn and they don't have a record of room blocks. I left a message for Alvan of the club to let him know. I made a reservation on the Inn's web site. Very reasonable, 110.00

Young lady said they were filling up quick so if you're thinking of going I would book a room. No pre-pay needed and can cancel without penalty by 6:00pm the day beore.

 

Just a reminder about the show. Hoping the weather will be nice. I understand that Moe's BBQ will be catering this event---

 

Mike, I hope the show went well. Tina and I were planning on attending, but had a drunk drive destroy a fire hydrant aroudn 3:30 am Saturday morning. We had to kill the water for a 3 block area and we did not finish till around 12:00 pm Saturday. I hope you got so good pics. Jim

 

Thanks, Jim. We enjoyed the show and hope to have pics posted in a day or two.

 

The "Autumn In The Mountains" British Car Club show last weekend was great. We had beautiful weather and some very nice folks in the show along with their British cars. Attached are pictures of the show. That's my 2006 XKR in the background with the "Other Jaguars Class". Geez, I could've used some more company from the XK8-XKR's owners.


This is my neighbor's 1933 MG Midget---it actually has a Roots style supercharger driven directly off the crank. He won "best in class" and "best in show"



Very cool tag on a '67 XKE.











Cool color combination on a pair of Lotus Elise's next to us. The red one was owned by a fellow from Greenville, SC who happened to be a fellow alumnus from Clemson. He was an engineer for Michelin in Greenville. We had a great conversation about tires. First thing he noticed on my XKR were the Pilot Sports. I can tell you sitting in his car was like a small fighter jet cockpit---I'll stick with my XKR.





That's me and my bride---yes I know I don't know how she ended up with me. Like I always tell people I'd rather be lucky than smart.



My XKR got 2nd in class at the show. I kinda laughed since I had the latest model Jaguar in the show and probably the second to latest car in the whole show besides the dealer's XKR-S.



Hope you enjoyed the pics and hope to see more of you there next year.

 

Great selection of vehicles in beautiful condition.

Graham

 

Looks like a great day.
