Hi There Eric;

I would like to Welcome You from the Pocono Mtns of PA; This is one of the Best Brit Websites that, At least I have ever seen:

Here are some Fun, Knowledgable Folks that have One thing in Common; "LBC`s" (Little British Cars):

Welcome to the States; What does bring You here??

Regards, Russ
 
Welcome Eric. I was in Roanoke last weekend. That is my wife's home town. There is an MG Austin Rover Triumph dealership still oeprating on Williamson Road near Hollins College called Webb Motors; and a good British car restoration shop in town as well. I saw a green MGB in a driveway there on Sunday as well.

They have a lot of antique tractor shows and competitions (tractor pull) out in that area.

Hi, Eric -

Welcome Eric!

I am also from Ireland (on the other side of the border, in Kilkenny) but I've been here over 40 years.

There are lots of BMC/Leyland loyalists here!
 
Eric,
Welcome to the Forum and to the US and Virginia.
There are lots of British cars here in the Roanoke and surrounding area and we have an active club called British Automobile Club of Southwest Virginia that I invite you to join and become active in.
You've already been told about Webb Motors so I won't mention that.
Get in touch and I'll get you information on the club if you would like to join. We have regular monthly drives and other gatherings and a bunch of us were just at the Gold Cup vintage races at Virginia INternational Raceway in Danville over the weekend enjoying all the British (and other) cars competing on the track.
