Not to BAD it doesn't.

Buckaroo Miata Club.....

 

This is silly, cars are now international in origin.

Get over this nationalistic BS. We're car gals and guys for the most part. We appreciate vehicles of all types.

 

You are 100% correct, which is why I take the time to put together the list of car events that people can enjoy regardless of what they drive.

I find it completely laughable that someone would even make such a stupid comment about going to a car event.

 

So.....

I'll see some of you folks at the Brit car show. Now to decide which car, German or Japanese??? Maybe Babs Brit/German hybrid?

Mark I can bring you a quart of oil to place under your car for that authentic classic Brit car look. :wink:

 

British cars don't leak, they only mark their territory!

 

Well, a track newbie might be leery of driving fast if it is his first time at Mid Ohio. That's why the newbies are in Group D and those a tad faster get bumped to C.

I've got just under 30 2-day hpdes there with BMW CCA and you can find me in the A or B group, although I prefer the B to the A, just because my modded S is a "tad" slower than those Bimmer Ms, Corvettes, Aston Martins, Bentleys, Lotuses, Audis, Porsches, AMGs, and occasional Mustangs, Cobras, GTRs, and Ferraris. THEY mostly lurk in the A group [it is NUTS there], although even some of them drop down to B, too [for their sanity]. It's fun and you learn a lot about what your car can do as well as what you can tolerate, but it is intense. And, after 2 days of seat time and classroom instruction, you get to drive home at humdrum highway speeds.

Mid Ohio is a great venue, but, if you have never tracked your car before and still want a good learning experience, go to Putnam Park, in IN. I went there with the R50 when I first started, as well as to Autobahn, outside Chicago. The R50 did fine at Putnam Park but got clobbered at Autobahn. That's when I decided to buy my MCS and mod it. The S has been to Putnam Park for 22 2-day hpdes with BMW CCA.

I enjoy fast driving in the "somewhat" controlled environment of the track. I do NOT enjoy driving fast on public highways just to show off. If fast is what you like, then sign up for an hpde and really learn how to drive.

 

The interwebz is a magical place......

It's like a library of things....

British Car Day XXXI -- May 17, 2015 -- Columbus, OH

 

My non-club trip to the Brit car show....

After morning coffee with lady Babs I drove over & did a walk around. Spent a couple of hours catching up with old friends & talking with some new ones. I also had a fun time playing with my box of wires with a lens on front.

Sorry I missed you Mark.

What do these 2 cars have in common?

 

The new camera is definitely a keeper!

 

A gathering I might attend. A car show I'm not interested.....the other banter I'm staying out of.

 

FTFY.

 

Okay, what's FTFY?

 

No need to check with me. The list I put up is simply things that I hear about, know people have attended before, or have attended in the past myself. I like to know the options that are out there through out the summer.

Shouldn't you be getting on the road soon to be in Columbus on Saturday?

 

Will they let me in with my Hoveround?

 

5/17

 

It is too far out there for the car deprived.

 

Heck that was easy wasn't it?
