Don't think there's been a post of late, so here's a link to the TTACD website - have a look to see what's cooking. John Macartney, formerly with Standard-Triumph, Coventry, will be stopping in various locations around the country, so be sure to turn out and greet him. This is quite an event, and my wish is that lots of BCF-ers will participate in whatever manner possible. All proceeds from the drive will go to research and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Mickey

Hi Mickey,
Thanks for keeping the discussion of this event alive!
Yes, the unveiling is on the 31st of May, next weekend. I'll be there to congratulate the ISOA STTAG members on their great accomplishment.
Drive kicks off 27 June at Grass Roots Motorsports in Holly Hills Florida. Everyone, BE THERE!!
I now have some time on my hands so I can do some chat now too.
Cheers!

I've been told by one of my Flickr contacts that the tour will be coming through Calgary in September (I think?), anyone know Phil Ethier? He will apparently be along for the drive...

I've been told by one of my Flickr contacts that the tour will be coming through Calgary in September (I think?), anyone know Phil Ethier? He will apparently be along for the drive... Don't know him, but the tour will be in Calgary. From the website: Sun 6th September - CALGARY, Alberta and a visit with everyone at the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary. A day earlier, John will be meeting up with his wife Liz who will have taken the ’sensible way’ across the Atlantic by availing herself of a special offer to sail on the newly launched and commissioned ship, the Queen Mary II - all 1132 feet and 151,000 tons of her! Assuming we get the timings right, Liz will then into Calgary from New York and will be with John for what both hope will be the opportunity of a lifetime by crossing The Rockies together. We’ve given ourselves 5 days to do this as we have to be ready for the next event on
Sat 12 - Sun 13 September with our friends at the British Columbia Triumph Registry in Vancouver. Venue event and date TBA. There will be a Flickr account set up to post pictures all along the way: Flickr

The caravan is scheduled to arrive in Memphis on August 6th and leave on the 7th. The British Sports Car Club of Memphis will be meeting the caravan here and most likely have a special club dinner meeting for the event, and I'll be contacting the clubs in Arkansas to see if they'll get involved once the caravan moves west from here.

The drive is underway! Click for the latest news. And be sure to check often to see where "Uncle Jack" is taking John and those who are in the caravan with him. When they are in your area, be sure to come out and greet them! Mickey
