LBCarCo Chatter -
Stowe British Invasion
The
big Stowe British Invasion was this weekend in Stowe,
Vermont. If you have never been to this one and I
am sure many of you have not ;) It is one of the
largest shows we attend each year and one that has about
the most fun activities for the participants. The
event starts at noon on Friday and ends around 1PM or so
on Sunday. They had about 600 cars
reregistered this year and many more folks showed up as
a one day visitor on Saturday and Sunday.
Jan,
Aaron (one of our sons visiting from school in Atlanta),
Roger (the Range Rover) and I left Detroit at 6:30AM on
Thursday. Each way is about 820 miles so it makes
for a long long ride, but at least it is in a
"BBC" (Big British Car) ;) The weather
was sunny and unseasonably hot pretty much the whole way
and the weather was looking good. We exited I-87
to take the Essex Ferry to Vermont around 6:45PM (the
ferry at that time runs every hour and is about 12 miles
away.) I got back in the drivers seat as Jan tends
to have a lead foot normally (Roger has been known
to hit 90 many times on the way to a show) , but on two
lanes roads drives about 10 under <g>.
It
was still warm, but getting overcast and the weather was
not looking grand as "Roger and Me", hum good
name for a movie, maybe I can get Roger Moore to produce
and direct it ;) took off on the twisties. These
are great roads and Roger, just loves to think he is and
LBC as he negotiates the curves (even with the trailer)
like a British Sports Car. We were about two
miles into our 12 mile run when I saw the lights behind
coming up fast, they were bright red and flashing ;(
Oops, seems the speed limit in that little stretch was
about 30.
As I
pulled over one of NY States finest walked up and asked
me do I know how fast I was going? Yes I said
sheepishly about 60. I explained that we had
been trying to make the ferry as we were on our way to
Stowe for the British Invasion. Seems he had
a good side, probably been stopping LBC's all day on the
way to Stowe. He asked me to slow it down (which I
did) and let us go. Whoa what luck for a change!
(didn't see him on the way back, but also did keep my
speed down, would not have been good to be stopped by
the same officer twice ;)
As
we pulled on the ferry ramp the boat had already
left so all that was for naught anyway. On
top of it we were hungry, but did not want to leave the
dock for fear of not getting on the next ferry at 8PM.
We just enjoyed our time to relax for a while and then
off we went on the ferry ride to the other side of Lake
Champlain and our final destination of Stowe.
Friday
morning came all to soon as we were at the field to set
up about 9AM. Our little shop was under the big
tent next to our good friend Jerry LaBant of Liverpool
Motor Works. If you ever need any original items
such as tools, head and fog lamps, jacks, manuals, Jerry
most likely will have them. He can always be
reached at LMWJerry@aol.com.
The
show opened at noon and it was a pretty relaxing day as
folks were arriving and enjoying the very hot, off and
on Sunny and Cloudy weather. For the participants
there were driving events and other fun things to do.
Several of our Windsor Detroit MG Car Club members had
decided to visit Stowe this year so they stopped by to
say hi.
We
closed up shop about 6:30 and joined the LaBants for
dinner at the new 108 Grille then back to the hotel
for an early day on Saturday, which came all to soon.
Saturday
was overcast for most the time and we had a few
drizzles, but nothing to get worried about. There
were tons of cars on the field and Aaron took some
photos for me which you can find on our site. Wish
we could have gotten a full field view of it for
you, but there was no way to do that. Jan and
I never got to leave the tent as it was just too busy.
So many folks stopped by to say hi again this year.
We really do appreciate it that you take that time
to come over and let us know who you are. So many
old and new faces again this year. British Car
Folks are about the nicest folks out there IMO.
There
were so many cars this year that the voting took forever
and the award ran till late in the afternoon. We
were supposed to meet some friends at the Foxfire
again this year so we closed up about 6:15 and drove
over. When we got there it was just starting to
rain and rain it did. It came down all night long
and off and on again on Sunday. I would say
Sunday's attendance was off a bit as some folks left
early due to the weather, but there was still a good
crowd of hearty soles. Sunday was the peoples
choice by colors as well as the Picnic Basket
Competition. There
were only about 5 displays this year, but they were darn
good. An MGA Igloo scene was one of the more
inventive ones. I took some photos of this which
you can see on our site as well.
Well
we packed up and were on our way by about 5PM for the
800+ miles back. Figures we missed the darn ferry
again so had to sit in the lot for an hour (this
time we missed it by 2 minutes!) The rain was
coming down harder now, in fact you could hardly see and
we were again starved. No place to eat till we got
to the other side though so we had to wait. Once
over though we did have a good meal and got soaked by
the time we ran into the marina restaurant. It was
really coming down still. We had a great dinner
regardless and then jumped back into Roger for the rest
of the long journey home.

the awards. If you are in the area come on down
and join us for fun in the SUN in Maryland, you will be
glad you did as it is a very enjoyable Saturday Show.
More details below.
This
starts our final stretch and we have about the longest
distances we travel all year long coming up all in
a row. Each weekend we will travel about 600-750
miles or so each way and turn around and head home.
Starting to feel like a Gypsy here, but it is fun once
we get there ;) Hope to see you at one of the
shows in the upcoming weeks.

Visit
the UK with Jan and me? More Details
- Deadline October 1
We
have sent out a primary
questionnaire to folks interested in
visiting the UK with us in March of
2003 and also a tentative itinerary
it will be another great trip and so
far about 30 have committed to it.
The basics are below and we are
presently working with Northwest
Airlines to arrange flights from a
city near you to arrive in Detroit
for the group flight to the UK.
This could really work out very well
for the folks coming from out of
town as it looks like the rate will
be a substantial savings over having
to make your own arrangements to get
to Detroit. In fact we may be
able to included this as part of the
package!!! Now
"ain't" that sweet!!
October 1 is our deadline to
guarantee a seat and deposits will
be needed within a few days after
that date, if we can add folks after
this we will try of course.
We do have one single female that is going and are looking for another so the room can be shared and avoid the single supplement cost. If there is a fun loving female out there that is interested in joining our group please drop me a note ASAP.
Presently
we are looking at arriving in the UK
on Saturday morning March 15, 2003
(departing Detroit on Friday March
14.) That day will have an
optional visit to Portobello Road
for the street market and then an
open evening for dinner and relaxing
in London. We are
looking at spending six nights
in London instead of the 3 that we
spent last time as there is just so
much to do, but of course that will
increase the cost slightly. On
Sunday there is a big indoor car
show at the Alexander Place in
London so we will take that in for
those that want to go and others can
do shopping and sight seeing.
We will provide you with options,
but your stay in London is a self tour
adventure, but Jan and I we will be
there to provide assistance and
planned activities as well so no
fear for any first timers ;)
You WILL enjoy this trip.
Friday
it will be off to the Castle and we
will stay there at least till the
following Friday AM or maybe even
Saturday and will then take our
private coach right to the airport
for departure. We will have
13-14 nights in the UK a bit longer
than the last trip, but to be honest
you will really appreciate the extra
time and still will wish it was
longer ;) The base price will
be very reasonable and will include
air, hotel in London, the Castle,
our private coach in the Costwolds
and transfers to and from the
airport as well as a tube pass in
London and other surprises and
treats. Activities are
not all car related so everyone
should have a great time!
There we be other optional
activities in London that we
will have a sign up sheet for
and there will be some choices of
events while in the country too so
stay tuned for YOUR England
Adventure II.
If
you are interested and have not sent
in a request to be on the list do it
NOW!! I am sure there will be
some folks that cannot make it that
said they are interested. So
get on the list if you are not
already. The base will be
approx. $1500.00-1700.00ish per
person depending on how many nights
we stay in London, and we will
try to keep it as close to this as
possible as we want to make this as
affordable as we can for you.
The object is to have a great time
at a very reasonable price!
We
had a great time with a total of 37
people this past spring and can
accommodate up to 39 maybe even a
touch more as our deluxe coach can
handle a few more lucky souls.
Surprisingly enough it was not too
many people and by having this large
of a group we are able to keep the
costs down.
If you are a member of a club this
would be a perfect opportunity to visit
the UK as a club group with our
intro to the UK tour. If your
club should be interested please
have someone contact me as soon as
possible.

Tech Tip!
Our Tech Tip this week
is from Gary Stephan - Thanks Gary ($20.00 will be
credited to your LBCarCo account) Please contact us
ASAP for further info.
Pulling maintenance on five vehicles (sadly, only one is
an MG!) is sometimes a daunting task: changing oil
finds me rummaging for the right size socket to fit the
drain plug--metric, SAE, size, etc. To make the job
a little more efficient, I found that using a machinist's
marking pen I could write the size on the face of the
drain plug, e.g. '5/8' or '10mm'. I use a yellow pen
so it is quite legible and easily touched up as needed.
