Check the TBBCC web site and Facebook page for upcoming events. TBBCC: Welcome to the Tampa Bay British Car Club! http://www.facebook.com/TBBCC
Lets get those Classic British Cars out and on the road. And show everyone that "Classic cars are NOT just Hot Rods and Mustangs" If there is any event that was missed please contact me and I will add it to the next e-mail.
Remember, traveling in packs (Fiona said that should be "a herd with tools") is the safest way to go, so if there is somewhere you want to go and would like company there is usually someone in the club that would like the company also.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Cars & Parts For Sale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Every few weeks the TBBCC gets contacted about a British car for sale.
The Club web site has a "Garage Sale" section, but the logistics of posting takes time.
So they will be posted here first and then on the "Garage Sale" section on the Club web site.
This service is free to all TBBCC Members.
Non-Member items will be listed here at no charge as a convenience to the Club.
