Folks. Just received this from the show chairperson regarding the extension of hotel rates for the event. Only 4 Sunbeams. We sure would like at least a couple more. Hope to see you.
Dennis, Good morning. I just heard from our host hotel. The cutoff for reservations at the reduced rate was August 12th but they have agreed to extend the BMCCF rate until next Wednesday, August 21st. Would you please get this info to your Sunbeam compadres in case anyone wants to take advantage?
Info on the hotel is on the registration form at http://www.bmccf.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/BCCCF_Car_Show_Brochure_2013_V2.pdf which is a page on the website: www.bmccf.org.
To date we have 4 Sunbeams registered.
Thanks much Pam

Thanks guys and gals for a great showing yesterday at the Brits at the Beach Show here in Wilmington. I can't thank you enough for stepping up to the plate and making the trek. 8 Sunbeams, 5 Alpines, all SAOCA members, George and Beverly Coleman, Stephen Smith, Doug and Trish Miller, Steve Kirk, and myself, and 3 Tigers. A Tiger won best in class and it was discovered it was one that Doug ( Bulldurham) sold 23 years ago. The NO did a wonderful job of it including a 400HP engine. I got 2nd and George and Beverly 3rd. ( Loved the salt and pepper pistachios BTW. gotta get some )
What started out as lumping Sunbeams in the "British-Sedans/Sports-Not Covered" due to the historically low Sunbeam turnout, became one of the larger classes represented. We heard a lot of positive comments from BMCCF members and the crowd how glad they were to see Sunbeams in attendance. I, along with others will probably post a few photos.
Way to go folks. This show is really pretty nice. Over 100 cars. Hope more of you can come next year and bring a few more friends ( along with a picnic basket and port-a-potty
)

Trish and I got back to Durham about 6:30 Sat. evening w/o any issues. One hundred thirty miles of I-40 cruising was great and no oil on the underside this time.
It was good to see everyone at the show, which was great and many thanks to the organizers for their hard work and time. Some really nice cars that I had not seen before including that gorgeous Chevy truck RatRod.
The big thrill for me though was " finding" my old Tiger, which I sold about 30 years ago. When Jon pulled up to park the Tiger something told me that was it. I asked a few questions and he confirmed it was the same. Talk about a beautiful restoration, you have to see it to appreciate the detail and the engine work is outstanding. You know he is proud of that car. And I am happy it is still on the road, better than ever.
If the show is there again next year we should request the same spot as the shade was real nice. Maybe they will put a porta-potty down wind in the woods
behind us.
Congrats to the winners in the Sunbeam category. Jon, Dennis and George.
George, let me know if you want me to hold your beer when you replace the
throwout bearing.
