Great British Car Show Coming, Road Show to Follow

ABFM Show Poster

I'm really annoyed with myself for booking a trip to Toronto while the All British Field Meet is taking place in Vancouver, just a few miles across Georgia Strait from where I live. That'll teach me to pay attention to the calendar! The ABFM advertises itself as "The Greatest Show on British Wheels" and while that may be a slight exaggeration, it is certainly the best in North America, with hundreds of beautiful 4-wheeled Brits coming from all over the Pacific Northwest. The show takes place on Saturday, May 17, at Vancouver's Van Dusen Botanical Garden (itself a lovely destination) and this year will feature the Alvis and MGB. For more on the ABFM, see this Western Driver page.

Meanwhile, I may be lucky enough to spot some of the cars in the 2008 British Car Week, May 31st through June 08. The event is an invitation to all owners of classic British cars to get them out on the road, where the public can appreciate them. Whether it's in a church parking lot, town square, local restaurant, pub, park, shopping mall, or car rally, the intent is to get these cars out of their hiding places and into public view. Although it originated in the US, I'm hopeful that this "happening" has migrated north to Canada, which has always been a hotbed of British car enthusiasm.
