All British & European Car Day

AWESOME SHOW:

Thanks to all who attended in making this a smashing success despite being moved from original location 24 hours prior to event, overcast skie, and threat of rain. In fact, most of you stated you like Dreyfuss Club point better! So do we. It has the hard surfaces (in case of rain), beautiful view of the lake, continuous breeze, and shady, grassy surroundings plus picnic tables and trash facility. With a few tweaks, this will be an awesome site for next year.

The Cadette/Senior Girl Scout Troop 1849 will be busy collating personal comfort kits for residents at the Ronald MacDonald House in Dallas. Thanks for all those new, hotel size toiletries. They also filled up the back of my Metropolitan!

Car Clubs

This year the clubs that attended were: sponsoring club Jaguar Owners Association of the Southwest, Central Oklahoma Jaguar Association, Ferrari Club of America, Italian Car Club of the Southwest, Jaguar Drivers Club of North Texas, Lone Star Alfa Romeo Owners Club, Mini Owners of Texas, Metroplex Mini's, Morgan Club, North Texas Norton Owners Association, Red River Triumph Club, Rolls Royce Owners Club, the Texas MG Register, and the Texas Region Sports Car Club of America.  

Parking:

Everyone did a fabulous job of parking their trailers in the designated area and unloading show vehicles to drive into Dreyfuss Club. Concerned with cyclist and pedestrian traffic, we did limit spectator drop off and parking was at Stone Tables. Next year, we already have a solution to allow more spectator parking without the half mile hike.

1967 Daimler Ferret
3rd Place - Other British & European
Quite an attraction at the show!

Participating Vendors:

Despite last minute changes, the vendors were happy to be a part of this awesome crowd. ABCDE wants to thank : British Auto Specialists, British Leyland Auto Care, Herb Turner Insurance Agency, Kip Motor Company, Midlife Classics, MINI of Plano, Retro Air, Scentsy, Sports Car Warehouse, Steve's Carlocks, and Fiat of McKinney for their support.

Concessions:

Our primary food concessioner, Marshall's BBQ continues to provide plenty of good eats! Although the additional spectator traffic and hungry crowds overwhelmed the staff around noon; Marshall's never did they run out of chopped-beef-on-a-bun! We'd like to add some variety to our concessions for our next show. If you have any suggestions, please email me at abcde(at)kipmotor.com.
