All British Car Day
June5, 2005
The location will be the Kapiolani Park Parking Lot just mauka of the Waikiki Shell at the corner of Paki Ave. and Monsarrat Ave., same as in recent years. This offers paved areas for the cars along with grass and shade for picnics. Look for the banner, "Honolulu's All British Car Day".

Only British Cars will be allowed to park in the designated area
There will be :
Jags
MGs
Healeys
Triumphs
Minis
Morgans
Land Rovers
Lotus
& many others

There is ample parking for Non-British Cars in the adjacent Waikiki Shell parking lot.

The Meet will start at 9:00 AM and will be open until 3:00 PM, but cars will be able to come & go anytime throughout the day.

This Event is not a Concours d'Elegance where cars must come up to any pre-set standards, but a gathering of the faithful who love their British Cars. The Event also allows you to meet others who share your enthusiasm and a chance to get together with owners of like cars and swap stories. Your car need not be in show condition and we welcome works in progress. A small Entry Fee of $5 per car will be charged to help defray costs. Spectators are Free

Sponsored by the British Car Club of Hawaii and the Classic MGT's of Hawaii.

No Excuses

BE THERE !

 

keikilee,

So are MINIs invited too? Noticed you mentioned Minis but wasn't sure if it included both breeds.

Is the club going to be there or is this an "individual" event?

 

New MINIs and classic minis are both invited since they are "British cars".

For more info you can call Jeff at 392-1112.

In past years there have been some really nice cars.

A real Cobra
Many vintage MGs
Sunbeam Tiger
Lotus Seven
Triumphs
Jaguars

 

Hi DakineMINI!
Yes, MINIs are invited too. I just cut and pasted the email I got and posted it here, so I'm sorry for the confusion!

I'll be there in the morning, but just to look around. This will not be a club event, but I encourage the members who can dedicate the time to enter their car, or at least go to look and support the event.

Good question...thanks for asking!

By the way...for anyone thinking about going later on in the day, note that in the past, this event has closed down earlier than expected. The last couple of years, I went just after noon to find just a few straglers in the parking lot. Go early!

 

Aloha folks!-

I'm planning on attending. I'll bring a 10x10 canopy so feel free to join me and cop some shade if you want to. I'll probably bring some tea and crumpets too!

Aloha!

Are you bringing you're accent, too?

 

My mom is from Canada and has an excellent Scottish accent. I'll see if I can train up by Saturday or I'll give it my best Austin Powers.

Yah BABY!

Aloha!

Don't forget to bring the clotted cream, too.

 

AWESOME! I'll look for you JCW04!!!!

 

You have room in there for one more? :smile: I am planning to meet up with Keiki and we'll come in together.

 

Aloha folks!-

I must appologise! I was replying to a post that Beastmaster put up regarding weighing down the canopy and I think I erased his original post .

I hit Edit instead of quote and it all went screaming downhill from there.

Once again I appologise for the mistake.

Aloha!

No problem. Just bring something to weigh the tent down. Use a tie down in the center and you should be fine.

 

I think the post dealt with the gust of wind that picked up the MINI of HI tent and sent it up flying and came crashing down on a new MINI from the dealership. I was there.



Concrete blocks or small containers full of sand act as good weights for the legs to prevent flight.

He mentioned a tie strap in the center of the tent- connect to something or someone heavy!

Edit vs Quote button slip?
I've done that before.

 

An even bigger tent snafu was the Spring Fling Tech Session detailing exhibition tent that went airborne!

 

Don't remind me of that one! The guy was pretty cool about it.

 

hey folks, this is coming up tomorrow! i might not be able to make it as my uncle passed away today and I've been spending lots of time with my family. If I am there at 9a, it'll just be brief.

 

Keikilee,

Sorry to hear about your uncle.
Take care of yourself and your family.
Our thoughts are with you.

 

I hope the All British Car Day went smoothly for you.
Did you "win" anything????
