Tampa Bay British Car Club News
Tampa Bay British Car Club and Friends:
Some of the Club Members received a letter stating that your Classic MotorSports Magazine Subscription is about to expire. I have confirmed that this letter had crossed paths with the Clubs renewal and all (116) members that paid prior to the January 31 dead line have been renewed. The next magazine will be May and will be sent the second week of March (I know it is a bit confusing, but that is what they told me). If you do not get your magazine, by the middle of the month, please contact me, so it can be fixed.
We have name badges for the following members:
Ottewell, Chesler, Quillin, Meadows, Jackson, Gray and Jeffry. I will have these nametags with me at the Club meeting on Thursday and at the Dade City Drive this Saturday. The nametags have magnets and can NOT be mailed, they must be picked up.
Rod VanVleet is looking for some help with his TR-4A. He needs some help with the wiring. He is located in Lutz, Florida. If you can help, Please contact his at Marcia.vanvleet@gmail.com or 813-920-6086.
Tampa Bay British Car Club’s Next Meeting is this Thursday, February 25. At Ben’s Paradise Restaurant at 443 Main Street Safety Harbor. Meeting starts at 7 PM, Come early for dinner and conversations (about 6:00 PM). Drive your British Car. Hope to see you there.
The Dade City Run is THIS SATURDAY, February 27th. The weather is forecast to be mostly clear and cool, with temperatures in 60’s. This is a great and very scenic drive on the back roads of Florida and there are even some “hills”. After the drive, we will be stopping for lunch at the “Local public House and Provisions” Restaurant, located at 32750 Pennsylvania Ave, San Antonio, FL 33576, (352) 668-4867. Large selection of Craft Beers. Local Public House and Provisions . They are dog friendly with a nice patio.
The drive will begin at the McDonalds on the North East Corner of SR 54 and US 41 in Lutz. The drivers meeting starts at 9:30 AM, We will be leaving at 10 AM sharp so don’t be late. Hope you can join us.

The Tampa Bay British Car Club is ordering some Very Nice 3-inch Chrome and Enamel Grill Badges. An example was shown at the last meeting and I (Phil) will have that example with me at future events. The Club will be ordering these badges and we should have them in 6 to 8 weeks. The Club is offering them to the membership at a special pre-delivery price of $15.00; the regular price will be $20.00. Any Club Officer can accept pre-delivery orders and payments.

This is one of the biggest shows in our area with over 10,000 spectators, Last year our Club had 20 cars in attendance. Lets get a large number of British Cars out to this show and remind everyone that Classic Cars are not just Hot Rods, exotics and old Chevy’s. Give your car a polish and join us at this show.
