PRESIDENTS MESSAGE: Courtesy Gary Rumrill, e-mail: [email protected] Tel: (502) 239-6366 It’s still winter in Kentucky, the weather is cold and damp and the sun sets way too early for my liking, but, my 2-car garage actually becomes quite comfortable in short order after I start generating some physical effort body heat with washing and wrenching. Quite comfortable? Well 55F isn’t that bad, really, especially when I recall washing my then brand new ’66 MGB in 20F weather with soap bubbles freezing into little glasslike spheres! I digress…Spring will be here soon, honest! If you haven’t started prepping your Brit ride for top downmotoring, don’t delay, car season is around the corner and here’s a look ahead… • February 18 BSCC Meeting, Roosters on Shelbyville Rd: If you weren’t at the January meeting, that is a shame, you missed a good one. Roosters let us hookup a laptop to their WiFi and large screen TV with a connection to www.britishsportscarclub.com for Jim Werner’s live regalia presentation and Trevor Jessie’s very informative instructions on navigating our website. Plus, Peter Dakin then used the screen to show us some really fun “Barn Find” TR fun pictures of a car trailer with a tree growing (An anti theft natural device) through the framework blocking opening trailer doors, cut down the 8” diameter tree, open the doors to see trash and most thieves would give up, but underneath the trash a Triumph TR rolled out .Hard to explain till you see the series for photos. Leo added air to the tires for the roll out. We will used the TV monitor hookup at future meetings. • 02. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE: Continued February 19-21 Carl Casper car show: Your BSCC will be represented with six cars and hopefully a lot of our members will also be there to meet and greet the wonderfully curious spectators.
