President’s Message – August 2023

August seems to have crept up on us and all of a sudden it’s only 7 weeks to British Car Day planned for Sunday 17th September.  A couple of reminders for our big day: Yesterday Maggie and I drove up to Port Perry for Brits-on-the-Lake which has not been held since 2019.  This year we...

President’s Message – April 2023

I wonder how long it’ll be before we can get our Triumphs out for a spin?  Hopefully not too long so we can get them in good running order for the driving season.   Here are some upcoming events where classic car drives might be possible, provided of course the road salt has been washed away...

President’s Message – March 2023

In like a lion, out like a lamb (?) … welcome to March!  I’ve just finished clearing the snow and I have to say it was a really good workout. On the 21st February Terence McKillen led us through this year’s TTC Quiz which focussed on 100 Years of the Triumph Motor Car.   For the...

President’s Message – February 2023

Welcome to February and it’s a bit chilly out there!  Last week we enjoyed John Macartney’s presentation entitled “British Leyland (Part 1) – From formation towards the wilderness years”.     Derek had everything set-up to host the meeting at the Legion in Clarkson for those club members who wanted to get together in person, however, the...

President’s Message – December 2022

Hi everyone and a belated welcome to December.  It seems that winter is not too far away but we certainly can’t complain because November has been spectacular.   We were able to get out for a superb club run on 5th November to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.   The morning temperature started at 10C and by the...

President’s Message – October 2022

September has sure been a busy month and what a great day it was for British Car Day® and despite a late shower at the Park we estimate there were ~1,062 cars and motorbikes on the field.  I sent a note out after BCD with a quick review of the day, however I should mention...

President’s Message – September 2022

Hard to believe that it’s September already … and British Car Day is but a short 17 days away … and it’s over 1,000 days since the last one!   FAST LANE Pre-registrations so far are at ~450 which is a record and we are expecting a bunch more in the next week.   Talking of which...

President’s Message – August 2022

Hi everyone and I do hope that you enjoyed a safe and happy Simcoe Day!      To celebrate the long weekend on Sunday Derek led a “Burg to Berg” (Kleinburg to Schomberg) drive in the central area. The route stayed between Highways 10 and 400 to explored the hills and dales around Albion, Caledon, Hockley and...
