Tampa Bay British Car Club and Friends:

That was the best weather for a car show, the All British Car Show in Safety Harbor was this past weekend. The Tampa Bay British Car Club had a great showing with a large number of members bringing cars and getting trophies. So many members were awarded trophies that I lost track of who won what. We’ll just have to wait until they post the winners.


I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler and dryer weather. Get that Classic British Car out for some exercise and have some fun.

The LAST regular Monthly Meeting of the Tampa Bay British Car Club for this year is October 27th, 2016 at Ben’s Paradise Restaurant at 443 Main Street Safety Harbor. Meeting starts at 7 PM, Come early (about 6 PM) for dinner and conversations. Drive your British Car, if the weather cooperates.

We are planning to make a change next year and every other month we will have a Saturday Breakfast Club in place of the Monthly Burger Quest. The mornings are cooler and more conducive to driving a classic British car. So, we are looking for some Good Breakfast places.

Do you have a favorite Burger or Breakfast place in your neighborhood? WE are always looking for new and interesting locations to hold a Club get-together. If you are interested in having the Club join you at your favorite eating establishment, there are a few requirements; First is there adequate and secure parking, do they have adequate seating for 30 to 40 Club members and is the restaurant willing to host our event. If ALL answers are yes, then contact Mike Silvernail mikenail41@live.com; with the manager’s name and phone number, we’ll contact them to set a date.

We are also looking into having a Micro Brewery Night, getting together at one of the local Micro Breweries in the area for a pint. This is still in the initial stages of planning, so keep an eye open for the future date and location. Hope to arrange a food truck to be in attendance.

Tampa Bay British Car Club and Friends:

At our last Club meeting, September 28th it was decided that the Club would donate $500.00 to help Hurricane Maria victims in Puerto Rico. This was discussed at length and passed with a unanimous vote.
I have asked Robert Infanzon to contact his family members on the island about how best to use the monies. In addition Bill Sirine ($27.00), Bob Lindstrom ($20.00), Mike & Karen Silvernail ($20.00), Phil & Fiona Ross ($25.00) and Robert Infanzion ($58.00) have made additional donations to the Club’s $500.00 and the total is now $650.00. If other Club members would like to make additional donations to these funds, please contact me at Roadster463@gmail.com
I was informed that Federal Government and FEMA are finally getting the relief efforts underway with basic necessities being distributed and the infrastructure repairs have started.
However many families on the island have lost everything, their home, car and only some have insurance to cover the losses. It has been suggested that we use the monies to help a few of these unfortunate families rebuild and replace what was lost.
Robert’s Brother-in-law Hector has a nursery / plant business in one of the mountain regions of PR. All of his employees have suffered many losses, some losing everything. These employees are in desperate need of help to rebuild their homes and lives. Hector has agreed to distribute the funds where they will make the most impact for these families.
This is a way to insure that our donations will go to those with the most need and absolutely no “administrative expenses”. We would welcome any feedback or thoughts on this proposal.

The Club finally has a new bank account and we can now accept checks in the Tampa Bay British Car Club’s name.

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.

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.
