The
British Invasion
Sept 18 - 21, 2008
Stowe Vermont
Some of you may recall
that last year's British Invasion
was three days of perfect weather and one day of
constant rain that turned the field into a muddy bog
with cars stuck everywhere. Well.........the God's were
smiling on us this year and provided four days of sunny,
cool crisp Vermont days. This is the one time of the
year that I get to hook up with the Maine gang, Rick
Patton, Aaron Cropley and now Dave Friedlander. Rick is
the "father" of a Throttle Body Injection kit for our
Triumphs and for two years Aaron was the only car at the
show with his kit. Last year I made it two cars and with
Dave's restoration complete we had three TBI powered
cars which attracted a fair share of attention. Much to
our delight, Dave's beautiful 12 year restoration took
2nd in it's class, beating 19 of 20 late model TR6. At a
show like this, originality is usually rewarded, as it
should, but Dave's car is so nice that he took second
even with the TBI conversion staring you in the face.
Whenever I go to a show I
like to take pictures of the "unusual"......... things
and cars you don't get to see everyday or even at every
show. This year was no exception, but with over 600 cars
in attendance, I know I missed a few. I even had to
break the pictures up over 6 pages so make sure you use
the page links to see all the pictures:
