        If it's the British Car Week that I'm thinking about... It 
        started with Peter Eagan (regular cloumnist for Road & Track) 
        lamenting that he doesn't see any old sports cars any more... 

        We goodly scions hit upon signifying a special week where we would 
        drive our LBCs everyday to work.  It's about as organized as 
        electrons in a Lucas voltage regulator... Those Wisconsin scions 
        would drive over to Madison and parade around (whether anything 
        concrete ever came of that idea I don't know).

        I belive it's either 5/4-5/10 or 5/12-5/16

        Do it, Ken... I'll call Road & Track and let them know it's gonna 
        happen...

        Fellow Worldly Scions... How many are going to take part in BCW?
