Since purchasing my car a little over a year ago there have been a lot of firsts, but this weekend was definitely a highlight. How could it be anything but great with sun, beaches, English cars and a leisurely drive on Hwy 3 in an open air car. Having traveled many miles in open MG s in the past it was a real nostalgic weekend. Aside from myself and Helen, the only club mem- bers I knew in advance were attending was Ken and Pat

Miles. I also met up with fellow club members Dennis and Pat Nelson, Bob and Judy McDiarmid, Steve and Liz Blake and Jennifer Orum. If there was anyone else from our club there I did not notice and I apologize for any omission. I also met Andrew Barnes from the OECC Northern Interior Branch who traveled with his wife from Prince George. This took them 10 hours, mostly in the rain in a 1974 MG Midget. Now that’s dedication! The official count was 192 cars, mostly roadsters with a few saloons. I found a 1958 and a woody to be excellent along with a 1930 MG M. Our club members did well in the awards: 1st Sprigets class – Bence McIntyre 1st Morgan class – Ken Miles 2nd Morgan class – Steve Blake 3rd Morgan class – Bob McDiarmid 1st MG B – 68-72 - Jennifer Orum It took us 5 ½ hours driving time each way including breakfast stops. Until I get a higher geared rear end my maximum highway speed is 85-90 kph. I averaged 38 mpg which was good as I was concerned about my 6 gallon tank and the need for 94 octane gas. Penticton was the perfect venue. The car show was on the waterfront right outside the motel. The banquets and all needed ser- vices were within walking distance of the motel. What this event needs is a bigger turn out of the sa- loon crowd. So let’s Italo Cirillo with award presented to the Old think about English Car Club for the club entry in the New Kelowna 2005.

Correction ... The First Off-Island OXO Winner! Steve Hutchens I reported in the last Roundabout that the coveted OECC&R OXO Cup “has always been awarded to a member of one of the Island branches” until Les Hetherington of our Vancouver Coast Branch received it recently. Not so, I find; my source has been corrected. The first off-Island recipient was Les Foster in 1999. The award read: “Vancouver Coast Branch member and Editor of the Branch newsletter ‘Roundabout’, Les Foster accepts the 1999 OXO CUP award from incoming OECC&R Society President Rob Brodie at the ‘99 AGM held in the Qualicum College Inn. Les won the award for his contribution to the Club as a whole.” So Les Hetherington joins Les Foster for the honour of this distinguished award, and our Branch is higher in the rankings than we had thought! Congratulations to Les and Les! 4 Tucker Tin Farm July 7 Richard Fishman

Of course, the Walker’s Austin 7 Chummy was the overall winner last year so it had pride of place at the show and was featured on all the promotional material for the Concours. Dave was given a gift from the promoters for his car: Don’t know what the gift was because it was wrapped up. Dave Walker receiving a prize from Brian Minter the Vintage Car Club of Canada and the Fraser Valley British Car Club. Learning from last year, the event organizers added more classes, thereby somewhat leveling out the playing field. With more classes, we should see an end to a Maserati being in the same class as a Met. Incidentally, I believe the Met beat out the Maserati! OECC members present were yours truly and Linda with the Rover 2000, Brian Lees - Rover P5B 3.5 Litre Coupe, Itallo Cirillo - Vauxhall Victor, Elaine Lafontaine and Pat Jones - Wolseley 6/99, Ivan Fisher - Triumph

It is still possible to obtain copies of hat). It truly was a great day, well organised by Walter the tax forms subject to two limitations. Reynolds. The first limitation is that the name, address, and other information pertaining to a private owners are blacked out thus making it unlikely to provide much useful information as ownership documents aren’t usu- ally generated until the vehicle passes from the selling dealer to its first buyer. While dealership information is not blacked out, it’s probably not possible to establish what town the vehicle was originally sold in as the dealer information would not appear on the first form. Perhaps an issuing office stamp, if visible, might give a clue to the area but that’s not much to go on. Subsequent changes of ownership would be blacked out unless the vehicle was sold or traded to a dealership. The most you are likely to find is a trail of trade-ins and dates but not actual users of the vehicle. The second limitation is that ICBC no longer retains ownership records dating back before the early 1970s! I found this out the hard way while trying to research the history of my 1951 Thames pickup. I have been success- ful in tracing back through a half dozen previous owners but have hit a stonewall in the early 1970’s. By this time the vehicle was being passed around amongst young people looking for basic transportation or hobbyists in- tent on preservation. What I wanted to know was the story of the truck’s real working life in the 1950s and 1960s. I assumed that the trail could be found through the ICBC Vehicle Records Department, a route that I had used some years earlier for another Thames. Alas, it seems that, barring extraordinary providence, the pickup’s early history will remain a private affair.

7 Follow the MG Chris Walker Here are a few photos of Follow the MG run we went on today. There was a grand total of 4 cars, so lots of people missed a great day out. The weather was perfect, the run very picturesque and the John Deere Museum amazing. We finished at the Fox & Hounds for a very enjoyable lunch.

On Sunday, June 20, a group of hardy heat-deprived OECC members drove as a group to the Mission Heri- tage Park Father’s Day Show & Shine. Bence McIntyre spearheaded the “going together as a group” initiative so that we could park together and show (and wave) the OECC banner. From the Club-promotion perspective, we answered lots of questions about the Club and British cars. The group included Bence and Helen McIntyre (MG Midget), Italo Cirillo (Vauxhall Victor), Brian Lees (Rover 3500 Coupe), Dom Cirillo with Fred C. riding shotgun (MG B), and, of course, me with the Cambridge. Later on were visited by Fred Bennet and Sheila (sans Spitfire). A few OECC members with their Mets were also in atten- dance, but as part of the Met Club. The last time I checked how many cars were there, the count was 1,182 which was more than last year.
