Masks and social distancing required. 3 SUMMER TOUR 2021 RESCHEDULED Summer Tour 2021 will not be held June 24th through the 27th. Bill Dryden, Bob Hurtt, Rick Mills and I met and discussed the current situation. Con- sidering estimates when the vaccines would be available to the masses, June 2021 was really not looking good, and we want everyone to stay safe. At the same time, IBCC was searching for an event chair for the Southwest Idaho All British Field Meet, and after some discussion, it was decided Sep- tember 16th through the 19th would be not only Summer Tour, but SWIABFM would be incorporated into the event as well. So, the SOUTHWEST IDAHO ALL BRITISH FIELD MEET WILL MOVE TO NORTHEAST OREGON FOR 2021. The Host Hotel will remain the Sunridge Inn in Baker City. The block of rooms is available now, (check in- formation below.) We still plan on taking a ride on the Sumpter Valley Railroad, The car show (ABFM) will be at Geiser-Pollman Park, and there will be a catered awards banquet at the old Baker Armory, now the Baker County Event Center. Hopefully, the registration form will be available in March, and, as usual, we do suggest making your room reservations as soon as possible.

TRAVELING TROPHY 7 OF WOE One night back in late 2003, Bryan Connington and I were crying on each others shoulders at being victims of some shabby work on his Austin Healey and my TR6. Bad welding repairs on the Healey’s frame could have been disastrous, as one front corner of the suspension could have separated from the rest of the car. The TR6 was the victim of butchered machine work when the motor was built. Other than repairing the horribly done work on our cars, there wasn’t much else we could do. Or was there? Bryan had saved an ugly piece of the frame that had been removed to complete the repairs correctly.
