2019 America's British Relaibility Run

by Dave Hutchison

 

 After almost a year's worth of planning, I am very pleased to report that the 2019 ABRR was a major success! At the time of this writing, we are within a hundred dollars of last year's record number of $42,467. As you know, we drive for the kids every year and we have developed a loyal following. Over 70 percent of past year's ABRR Teams returned to run again! Sponsored by Hagerty with their roadside assistance program and the Ragtops & Roadsters support trailer, we again left no one behind!

After way too much rain, the skies cleared and the sun shone brightly on our twenty-fifth Spring Open House!  Perkasie borough had blocked off Fourth Street between Walnut and Spruce to provide ample parking for all who brought their favorite British or classic car.

 2018 Before We Put em away

After a half a foot of snow three days earlier, we managed to clear the street on our block and we were pleasantly surprised to see the large number of vintage cars and friends who came out for our annual Before We Put 'em Away Run.

LOG 37

By Dave Hutchison

Last August, we attended LOG 36 in Princeton. It was a very nice well-run event. At the banquet it was announced that LOG 37 was to be held in May in Birmingham, AL, at the Barber Motorsports Park. Sounded interesting to me since it stirred memories of when I had the opportunity to get a ride on the track at Barber in a Seven back in 2004 at the first LOG in Birmingham. It was also announced that they planned to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Lotus Super Seven. Ok we are in! I offered a client transport of his Seven, rented a trailer that would hold two Super Sevens, found a friend who wanted to join the run, and soon Al Anspaugh and myself joined of a twenty-Lotus-car, for a two-day caravan to Birmingham!

Inside F1: Sellersville. Who Knew?

By Dave Hutchison
After the hall darkened, the F1 engines roared to life in the sleepy little Pennsylvania theater as images of racing mostly from the other side pond flashed across the screen! Dave Hobbs, Leigh Diffy, and Steve Matchett ran down the isles to a rock star entrance as the sold out house cheered them on. David opened by saying "Who knew? Sellersville, Pennsylvania?" An image of the recent Ferrari win at the season opener in Australia with Vettel jumping in the air captured the energy that everyone had after the season opener.

Driving for Kids! 2016 America’s British Reliability Run

by Dave Hutchison
On a bright sunny Friday morning about forty British cars including and their drivers gathered together at McKenzie’s Pub in West Chester, PA for the start of the 2016 America’s British Reliability Run. Why a pub at 9AM? Well, McKenzie’s Pub was to be the planned destination of our 600-plus mile adventure, but more about that later.
