Tampa Bay British Car Club and Friends:
The monies collected for Puerto Rico have been sent. I am very proud of the Club for stepping up to help those in need. The Club donated $500.00 and individuals from the Club matched that amount and we sent a total of $1,000. This will be a great help in rebuilding those families that were devastated by the hurricanes.
A special thanks to all those Club members that donated.
We have a couple of great Car Shows this weekend. Starting with Black Diamond Invitational Car Show in Lecanto, FL (details are below), and the St Pete Yacht Club Motor Classic.
November 5[SUP]th[/SUP] is The St Petersburg Yacht Club Vintage Motor Classic on the waterfront in downtown St Petersburg. This has always been a great and fun show. On line registration is available until October 29 at www.spyc.org. Fiona, Ranger and I are planning to attend. Bring your Classic Car or just drop by and enjoy the cars. Hope to see you at the show.
Recently I found an all important specialty tool that is needed in all Classic British Cars emergency tool kits. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has recently discontinued making this tool, but the Club has been able to appropriate the last 36 available. This versatile and multi use tool is: Union Jack - Duck Tape ™. The Club is now selling single rolls for the bargain price of $5.00 (proceeds are going to the Club). We have a very limited quantity and it is going fast. Contact Phil to purchase.
