Autojumble - April 25, 2010

We hosted our tenth All British Autojumble this past Spring at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour in Kingston, Ontario.   In case you missed it, the event was a great success!   Folks are already making plans for next year.

Spring Garage Tour

Every Spring we kick-off the motoring season with a visit to member's garages to inspect the projects they have been working away at over the Winter.  Usually held the first Sunday in May, it's a great target for getting your British car out of storage and back on the road.
 

 

Summer Rally

This year organized by Art and Kathy McEwen. Drivers meeeting at 1:00 PM at the Esso at Hwy 38 and 401 on Centennial Drive. The route (ALL PAVED ROADS) is approximately 60 miles ending at Napanee around 4:30 PM. It is a fun timed rally with questions along the way. For more info contact Art and Kathy at 613-530-2159 or email Art.McEwen@ontario.ca
 

Summer Barbeques

For the Summer months, June through August, our monthly meetings take the form of BBQ's at members homes. A great chance to get in a mid-week drive and enjoy each other's company. Attendance usually runs at more than 30 cars!
 


British Car Day - August 15, 2010

This year celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Jaguar

Held in Kingston City Park, right downtown under the trees.   It's definitely our best day!  This past August we had a record attendance with more than 165 British cars registered.  They come from everywhere just for the fun.  You can too!

Fall Colour Tour

Every October, when the leaves begin to turn, we head out on some of the most picturesque roads in central and eastern Ontario.  As with all Boot'n Bonnet events, there is always food involved, usually at a local Pub.

Winter Gathering

A great time to reunite in the dead of Winter. Set aside that evening and join us for a great dinner and lots of lies and fun.
This year a sumptuous buffet will be served followed by entertainment and dancing at the Radisson Hotel in Kingtson. So get out your dancing shoes and join you friends for a great night of fun.

British Car Week
British Car Week is an awareness week. It is an annual week intended for all owners of classic British cars to roll their favorite car out of the garage and drive it throughout the streets and byways of their communities. By doing so, it will help spread awareness of these exciting machines of the past, and will in turn help support the clubs and businesses that help support our very fulfilling hobby.
