Annual winter dinner outing. We will change tradition and go to a full service restaurant. The Henke Winery on 3077 Harrison Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45211 right near Montana Avenue.  You can go here for a link to the Menu.  Please RSVP with Bob Santoro.  The Ohio Valley Alfa Romeo Owners club will join us again this year. We will have our own party room and someone else cooks while we enjoy the wines and all things rusty cars! Saturday Feb 18! At 6:00 PM.

The British have landed again for another great year at the Cincinnati Cavalcade of Customs.  The show is over and our small group had a great time.  There were some great cars this year.  Many custom stereo cars and custom paint jobs.

Looking back over the past years there were less truly “custom” cars.  I gotthe unique opportunities to talk with Bob Larivee.  He built many of truly custom cars of the seventies like the Red Baron.  These were truly on off custom cars.  Of course this isn’t to say that the 22 inch spinners and wild paint isn’t cool. It certainly is.  But I think we can agree that the folks with the imagination and ability to dream up an idea like the Dream Rod and sit down with some square tubing, sheet metal, and some fiberglass and build it are amazing!

Several of us got to meet Ken Schrader.  So who is Ken Schrader?  Ken Schrader is the ‘consummate race car driver – he can drive anything with wheels’!  He holds records with USAC, ARCA, NASCAR and several on the dirt track too.  He owns a race team and is a commentator on SPEED, and ESPN.  And to top it off he owns three dirt tracks!  What do you think Ken, want to join the BCCGC and host an event?  I know a few folks willing to show up for that night of pizza and flat soft drinks!

We had 10 cars at this year’s show and received 10 plaques.  Over all not to bad for some daily driven, oil dripping, Brittish run abouts.  Maybe next year we can get a few more braving the cold to bring out the Union Jacks.
