Due to the cancellation of the All British Car Meet in Palo Alto on September 9th, the Golden Gate Lotus Club has arranged an alternate meeting at Huddart Park in Woodside on the same day. We've secured a private area with its own parking lot, BBQ facilities, tables, etc. 
The plan is to gather around 10am at the park to lie about our cars and kick tires. We'll then do some BBQ'n and take off in the early afternoon for a drive through the coastal mountains.
The GGLC will provide the Charcoal, fire, burgers, buns, utensils, but the rest is potluck. If your Lotus red, blue, or green, please bring some soft drinks to share with at least 4 people - cans are usually best. If your Lotus is yellow, black, silver, white or other, please bring a munchie, salad, or dessert to share with at least 4 people. (how about if your Lotus is in primer ? Ed) You're also welcome to bring your own specialty meat or vegetarian food if burgers don't appeal to you.

Directions to the park;

From highway 280 take the Woodside Road/hwy 84 turnoff and go West. Stay on this road and continue past the small shopping center and go about another mile. Turn right on King's Mountain Road (there's a hard-to-see sign for Huddart Park). Drive about 5 miles up an excellent Lotus road and turn into the park on the right. We'll be in the Redwood Shelter area.

Dear California British car enthusiasts,

It is with an extremely heavy heart that we have to inform you that the 23rd Annual Palo Alto British Car Meet, scheduled for Sept. 9th, is being cancelled for this year.  On August 20th, Caltrans, the California State highway board, informed the City of Palo Alto department of Parks & Recreation that they would be tearing up the El Camino Real and closing off El Camino Park from the street starting Sept. 1st. As the park is backed by railroad tracks and their are no other entrances that could handle 600+ cars or trailers and equipment, there seems no way around the certain chaos and confusion and we have opted for cancellation.
There was no way to comfortably use the park and little time to relocate the meet (barely enough time to cancel it!) we have been forced to cancel the Sunday car show. We will be back next year, possibly with a new location. We are truly sorry and hope that you understand this unfortunate turn of events. Please tell all of your British car owning friends so we don't have a bunch of people show up to an empty park.

Sincerely,

Rick Feibusch & The British Car Meet Staff
 

What the Merry Scrapers found beneath Daren's fine paint job; the Europa engine cover had once suffered the Hogben airbrake maneuver, breaking it across the roof when it flipped over backwards. Thanks to Mike's fiberglassing skills, it's all good now.    Photo by Daren Stone
