Palm Sprints, California - February 29 - March 1, 2008
THE INAUGURAL DESERT CLASSIC CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE at the O'Donnell Golf Club
Palm Springs, CA - The first Ferrari ever built, Chassis Number 01C, will make its first-ever appearance in the western United States in Palm Springs at the inaugural Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance on March 1st. Set to be held on the historic O'Donnell Golf Club, "this is the first time in twenty years that this automobile has made a public appearance," said event organizer Paul Merrigan. "Ferrari has a unique history in Palm Springs, by recording its first western U.S. win here in 1951, and we're bringing Ferrari excitement back to Palm Springs by displaying this rare race car - the first built by Ferrari!"

Event organizer, Paul Merrigan, a first-prize winner at the world-famous Pebble Beach Concous d'Elegance in 1998 in the Post-war GT Italian Coachwork Class, expects only the world's finest automobiles to attend this event. The featured marque for the inaugural event is Maserati, with participants confirmed from Ferrari, Austin-Healey, Alfa Romeo clubs, as well as Maserati and Packard clubs, and the Classic Car Club of America.

Another entry of importance is a custom-designed Howard "Dutch" Darrin Packard. One of just a limited few built, this automobile is considered to be a perfect match for the event, because of its association with Darrin, who crafted many of his cars for the same celebrities that brought worldwide notoriety to Palm Springs in the early 1940's. "Our event will focus attention to the unique history Palm Springs has in relation to these historically significant cars, as well as the celebrities and drivers that made them famous," Merrigan stated.

Promising to be a spectacle unlike anything seen before in Palm Springs, the event kicks-off on Friday, February 29, with the tour Classique. At 11:00 a.m., the Tour Classique will begin at the O'Donnell Golf Course, with a 30-mile tour featuring automobiles entered in the inaugural event. Spectators are invited to catch a glimpse of these rarely seen automobiles as they parade the streets of Palm Springs before returning for a private, preview gathering at the O'Donnell Golf Course. On Saturday, March 1, the gates to the O'Donnell Golf Course open to the public from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. This is indeed a rare opportunity for car aficionados to view some of the world's rarest, most beautiful, and elegant automobiles.

General grounds admission tickets are $20. A limited amount of VIP tickets that include clubhouse access, food and beverages throughout the day are available for $150. Children under ten and active duty/reserve military are free. For details and other information call 1 (866) 778-1699, or visit:

Goodwood, United Kingdom - May 16-18, 2008
International Healey Weekend 2008
The next annual event from the Austin Healey Club will be very special. It has been arranged to coincide with the 50th birthday of the Austin Healey Sprite and needless to say we are going to celebrate in style.

The Sprite was launched on 20th May 1958 and was an immediate success. Today the little Healey is as popular and as cheeky as ever, and the Austin Healey Club has put together a most appropriate golden anniversary celebration party for the cars and their owners!

The three days will be spent on the Goodwood estate of the Earl of March, where we have been fortunate enough to hire the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit for two whole track days on the Friday and Saturday, followed by a wonderful Sunday spent at Goodwood House.

The entire weekend is action packed with activities. All pre-booked Austin Healey drivers will be able to savour a few laps on the historic circuit and in between times enjoy the historic and special car displays, gymkhana, planned drives, a heritage display and trade outlets. Away from the Austin Healey theme, enjoy all the thrills of the fun-fair, live music, dance theatre, raffles and quiz's. Be prepared to dress for the occasion on the Saturday, when period dress is the order of the day with special prizes for the most appealing. Back on the Healey theme, be prepared for a parade of the historic cars, particularly the Sprites, driven by some very special guests.

While all the activities come to an end at the Circuit around 5pm on the Saturday, a couple of hours later at Goodwood House we have an evening under the Goodwood chandeliers for the Grand Ball Golden Celebration. A chance in a lifetime opportunity that is not to be missed!

As if that wasn't enough - On Sunday we offer a chance to drive at least part of the Festival of Speed hill and to either participate or admire the spectacle of the Concours d'Elegance situated on the Concourse outside Goodwood House. The annual awards will be supplemented by special keepsake prizes for the Sprite classes. What better than to sign off the weekend with a tour of the ancestral home and a cream tea out on the lawns!

Camden, Maine - June 1, 2008
Do you remember the first time you saw or drove a British Car? Did you have one in college? Know of a friend who did? Do you remember the thrill of that first drive in the open air, on a twisty country road? Well that feeling is what the members of the Mid Maine Sports Car Club strive to keep alive by restoring and driving our vintage British cars.

To celebrate our cars during British Car Week, from May 31 through June 7, the MMSCC is sponsoring an All British Car Show on Sunday June 1. The cars will be displayed on Chestnut Street between Camden National Bank and the Camden Common from noon to three PM and the public is invited to view the cars as well as vote for their favorite car. Peoples choice trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place.

If you would like to show your car preregistration is required and you can register on-line by going to the club web site at www.mmscc.com, clicking on the "event registration" link and following the instructions. MMSCC members $10.00. Non members $15.00. All proceeds from the show will be given to a local charity.

Glenwood Springs, Colorado - June 6-8, 2008
56th Annual Rallye Glenwood Springs
The 56th Annual Rallye Glenwood Springs will be held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 6, 7, & 8, 2008. This is the oldest continuously held rally in the United States. The MG Car Club, Rocky Mountain Centre, has sponsored the event for all 56 years, which began when a hardy group of sports car enthusiasts discovered the joys of top-down motoring in Colorado when MG’s still had lift-off tops and running boards!

The majestic, cool Rocky Mountains of central Colorado, with some of the most breathtaking scenery in America, form the backdrop for the Rallye Glenwood Springs. The event is a marvelous opportunity for car enthusiasts of every marque--British, American, German, Italian, Japanese, French, Swedish--to join together for a weekend of unique events. Through fifty-five previous years, vintage and classic cars from as far away as California and Illinois have shared the road with their newer counterparts for a weekend of fun and octane-related festivities. 250 enthusiasts with over 130 cars are expected to participate.

The three-day event begins on Friday with a Tour from Denver to Glenwood Springs. Saturday’s main event is the Rallye Glenwood Springs, a time, speed, distance event to challenge the novice, as well as the experienced rallyist, through the scenic areas surrounding Glenwood Springs. The weekend culminates with the Annual Banquet on Saturday night and the Car Show, Fun-khana, and awards presentation on Sunday.

For those who want to turn the trip to Glenwood Springs into a weeklong vacation, you can emulate Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in taking high tea at the historic Hotel Colorado and go fly fishing in the Roaring Fork or Frying Pan Rivers. Or perhaps a more active week could include a swim in the huge hot springs pool, a raft or kayak trip on the Colorado River that runs right through town, a hike to Hanging Lake at the top of spectacular Glenwood Canyon, and a gondola ride up the mountain to spend a few hours climbing through Glenwood Caverns. And nearby are both ends of the spectrum for mining town explorers—celebrity-filled Aspen in one direction and quaint former coal and quarry towns Redstone and Marble—where the marble for the Jefferson Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier originated—in the other direction.

Rendez-Vous British Quebec
The return of the British on the Plains of Abraham
Hosted by Rendez-Vous des Anglaises du Québec

Rendez-Vous des Anglaises du Québec, the largest French club in the world devoted to British cars with over 360 members is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2008. We are celebrating British Car Week with a very special event on Saturday June 7th during Quebec City's 400th anniversary as the oldest city in North America.

We are holding every year a British Car Show, called Rendez-Vous British Quebec. This year it will be held on historic Plains of Abraham, a park in the heart of the old City. We are calling it "The Return of the British on the Plains of Abraham", which should put a smile on a few faces since a historic battle was fought there between the French and the British which resulted in England winning over the French province.

You can see pictures from last year's show here: Pics from 2007 Show

Show will be from 9am to 3pm with $10.00 entry fee. We will have a few prizes with one of course for the longest drive to get there. We are planning to have a shuttle available every hour to take spouses from park to Old Quebec City so they can visit and shop. After the show, the cars will tour through the Old City, stop shortly at the hotel before heading to beautiful Ile d'Orléans, an island in the middle of the St-Lawrence River that still looks like 100 years ago with no modern constructions authorized. We will all have supper at a traditional Quebec restaurant called "Les Ancêtres" where everyone will enjoy French local cuisine.

This is a great chance to see a unique motorized gathering. Along with being a pleasing location, it is also directly viewed from Route 20. A significant number of passing motorists simply stop when they see the show on the grounds. Free admission for spectators encourages even more to come in. We have also drawn media attention each year the show has been held. Generous sponsorship allows us to have free spectator admission and great awards.
