mrbret Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Anyone into British Cars?There is a British car show on Sunday May 18th from 9am to 5pm at the Quaker, Steak & Lube on Polaris Parkway in Columbus (same place as bike night) Just off I-71.I'll be there at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Do you think any of the cars more than 10 miles away will make it in? You know how those British autos are known for their reliability, especially in the 'electronics' dept.My bad, I'm not hating - those cars do look good, but I couldn't afford the maintenance and parts to keep them running.

mrbret Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 There tends to be a lot of Jag's, MG's, Minis (even the new BMW ones ) & a few odd bits here & there. Sometimes even a Lotus or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus = teh awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'll probably try to make it out for this. I'm an old MG (the MGA, not B. the Bs suck) fan. One of the directors at my work is an MG fan as well. I'll let him know about it too.Do you think any of the cars more than 10 miles away will make it in?

And I had a Triumph TR7 before that. Both cars I ripped out the electrical system. I wish.I think a Lotus Esprit is as close as it will get to one of them, Never know thoughHave you drive an Elise yet? You might as well put a body on a shifter cart. That thing is by far the best handling car I've ever driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbret Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I hope they have one of these there.Aston Martin Vantage with a twin supercharged V8 butting out 550bhp, stock . Not bad for a mid/late 90's British carI want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanachi Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up mrbret...I'm a proud owner of a Convertible TR7. I've had my car since High School... and I have spent countless thousands of dollars in maintenance. Good call, JRM...* Some call it an addiction.
