The Valley British Auto Club sent me a notice about their upcoming two-day meet in Clovis on March 28th and 29th. Drive on Saturday followed by a car show Sunday. Looks like fun. More info at their website, valleybritish.org.

Hello British car owners,
My name is Andrew Duncan. I am Chairman of the British Cars venue at the annual Scottish Highland Gathering and Games put on by the Caledonian Club of San Francisco every Labor Day weekend at the Alameda County fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
As you may be aware, of the more than 30 venues that make up the Gathering and Games is the British Motor Car display. Over the years, we have had many types of British cars, military vehicles and a few motorcycles as well.
I am reaching out to see if any club members would be interested in displaying their car at our 2 day (Aug 30-31) Gathering and Games this year. We would of course provide free entry for the car, driver and passenger. Like most car shows, we encourage interaction with the public that stop by to look at the cars. There is also plenty of time to visit the rest of the attractions that make up this premier event.
If anyone is interested in participating in "The Games", please contact me directly and I will be happy to fill in the details and answer any questions.
Cheers,
Andrew Duncan
Caledonian Club of San Francisco

Hey all, anyone going to Brits By The Bay next Saturday interested in driving down together?

We can meet at the Lakeville park and ride in Petaluma at 8:30am?

Let us know if you want to join us.

Because November has so many Saturdays this year, we’ve added an extra drive to the schedule, on the week before Thanksgiving. The last couple of drives have been epic, with near-perfect weather and some fabulous cars. As usual, rain cancels.

A few people noticed that the starting location for this Saturday's drive was listed in the calendar as the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center in Novato. This is incorrect, we'll be starting the drive where we always start, in the Sonoma Valley Bagels parking lot in Rohnert Park.

Ordinarily, drive notices are generated automatically by the website, but due to a system error last month I had to enter the event manually, and I copied and pasted the wrong location. I apologize for the mistake.

Fifty years ago, MGOC used to supply cars for the Redwood City 4th of July parade. Each of us would carry a city dignitary sitting up on the rear bodywork, feet down on the battery cover, carrying flowers or a flag and waving at the crowds lining the streets. Those of us who drove would be pretty much slipping the clutch in 1st gear the whole time, trying to maintain a walking pace, so it wasn't the best thing for our cars but in general the event was a lot of fun.

This year Sausalito is planning to do the same thing, and they're looking for volunteers. If you're interested, email me (or admin@thenobbc.com) and I can send you the contact information.

Anyone know of a shop in Santa Rosa area that can test and plug small holes in my brass 57 MGA radiator? Apparently Dutton Radiator is out of business. mel@myriadnet.com

There is an informal parade through Sebastopol where people decorate their cars and just drive through town. Meet in Belle View Avenue at 6:30. I plan to attend in my TD (after I conform my lights are working!)

At the Blackhawk Museum in Danville. This year the Sprite and Triumph motorcycles are the featured vehicles. They have space for 170 entries so best to register ahead of time…

October 14 and 15 are the last days the sawmill is open for 2023.

I received a call from Joe Noriel, the organizer of Petaluma's Vet's Day Parade yesterday. He got my number for my post about the junk yard Sprite, and wants to invite anyone interested to participate in the parade. Other car clubs will be there. It's fun and there is no cost. I do it every year as the caretaker of the Petaluma Museum's 1925 Chevy truck.
Here's his contact info:

Another British Cars and Coffee event will be held at Hardcore Expresso on Bloomfield Road in Sebastopol from 9:00-10:30 on 10/8/23. Hope to see you there.

I went to Pick-n-pull today because their website said they had an MGB. Turned out it was a Sprite. Rough shape but still had its dual SUs.
I'm looking for some seats for a project, could be any small vintage car, I need the mounting rails too.
