        Second question:  on the Boerne, Texas All British Car Day T-Shirt 
there's
        a logo on it that doesn't remind me of anything british.  It's a bull on
        a shield walking on some wavy lines.  If I were in a foreign country I
        might expect that this sign would mean "caution, cows around when the
        water is high"  Anyway, does anyone know if this is a britcar logo?

This logo sounds like the Oxford City shield, an Ox walking through water. The 
Morris car company, based in Oxford, used the shield as their logo. As seen on 
the Morris Oxford, Morris Minor, Morris Traveller etc... I'm not sure if 
these cars ever made their way to the states.
