British Car Day! (June 4th)

[Latka]

Hey guys 'n gals - if you're not doing anything this coming Sunday, come out and check out all the cool British cars. The (something-th) annual British Car Day is held by the British Car Club of Hawaii down at the corner of Monsarrat and Pake, just mauka of the Shell...right there at Kapiolani park in Waikiki. The show starts at 9am and runs to 3pm. No charge to come and walk around. It's $5 to show your car if you've got a British Car. No concourse d' elegance event (thankfully) - just British Car enthusiasts.

In the past there have been some *really* cool Brit cars there. Everything from pre-war 1930s MGs to the latest Lotus Elise and new MINI. This year there should be at least 3 or 4 Classic Minis too. :)

I'll be there with my soon-to-be-restored 1966 Austin Mini Cooper S. The guy that bought my '71 Mini will be there as well as another guy with a nice Rover Mini Cooper from Japan. I'm hoping to get a few others down there too.

...there was also an original AC Cobra as well as a Sunbeam Tiger, a Lotus Europa, Elan, Esprit... some old Range Rovers, ...just a bunch'a cool stuff.

Heeeey...neat. I'd love to check out the Lotus's. :D

Is it Lotus's? Lotii? Lotuses? :)

I tried talking to one of the guys with a Europa the last time I was there. Really cool car - suuuuuuuuuuuuuper low to the ground. Unfortunately the guy was a supreme ass. I really hate those snotty ass bolt-counting car owner types.

Hahah...I was wondering the same thing. And yeah...that's a common gift with those people. :(

I went on one drive with them. The first thing some jackass points out is, "Your flag on your roof is incorrect." I said, "Well, call Rover then - they're the ones that sold it to me."

Jackass. Pffffft. That was the last time I did anything with the BCCH.
