Once again, the meet up at Amity, Oregon did not disappoint!
We had (correct me Rod) what I believe is a record # of LBCs this year with a whopping 13! Not a bad showing considering this is historically a "Non-British Only" event.
We sure missed Woody but he did give it the ole college try to make it.
Here are some pics I took (I'm using Imgur for this and hope it works).
Thanks to all who attended - it was great sy Meeing everyone! (sorry Mike Jr... your mug ended up out of camera shot.... every.....time. But I got your "good side" -- your car!
LOL!
RIP Christopher Allan Roop
RIP Jack Austin
RIP P.J. Lenihan
RIP Peter Cummins
RIP John D. Weimer
RIP Mick McGuire

Lou, there were 13 MGs, and several more LBCs. Nick's Healey 3000, a red Sprite, a blue TR6, and that blue XKE.
Also a bit of extra excitement when an ancient oak tree limb fell and broke a power pole and blew a transformer right by the park! Fortunately no cars or people harmed.

Thanks for the pics guys.
That really was a great park for a car show.
I like to think I will make it back up one of these summers.

Your name came up, Paul, and good things were said about you, but I forgot to do the toast I promised. If you make it back up, we can toast in person!
Wayne, Bonnie and I just walked over to the park and the limb is cut up and piled along side the street, the lines repaired, and the street open. I predict the city will be having some trees inspected...beautiful, but potentially deadly!
The T-Bird below belongs to a friend and former neighbor's father-in-law. It has sixty some thousand miles and I think he said It's a 62 with original paint and interior.

Glad there was a British car contingency there, so much more interesting than American Metal. More style too.
It would have been nice to be there, but I was watching my baby girl all weekend as my wife had a few days out of town to visit some family. We had a great time nevertheless and took a good walk today in the sunshine, my little baby girl got a couple of JoJo's at the grocery store and she loved them!
My British car event is next Saturday July 30th, from 8:30 to 2:30, I would love everybody to attend it's going to be great!
Easy going, friendly guys, and all British cars. I know most everybody on here has never attended except for Dave Walsh which I really appreciate he always volunteers and helps me every year, it'd be nice for some of the guys to finally come, this is the seventh year I've done it! Hope to see you guys there. Thanks, Dan

But Dan, can you arrange an ancient 18" in diameter oak tree branch to fall and blow up a transformer, and make a big explosion with a bunch of smoke, like we had in Amity today?
