Places

Upcoming Jensen & British Car events for 2008
Events highlighted in red are being organized by fellow Jensen owners


Ongoing- Every Saturday, rain or shine. Cars & Coffee in Irvine, California at 7905 Gateway Blvd., Irvine, CA 92618. Irvine campus of the Premiere Auto Group/Ford's Advanced Design Group. The official time is 07:00am to 09:00am. Some folks start wandering out before 09:00 but most start bailing after, with stragglers sticking around for quite some time. If you want to display your car go to the second driveway on the right (follow all the cool cars). If you just want to check out the cars as a spectator and don't want to display, pull into the first driveway on the right and park behind (or in) the structure (parking way in the back gives you a shorter walk to the showing area) or across the street in the big parking lot on the left. http://roguecarshow.com/
Ongoing- First Wednesday of every month, it's BRITISH CARS from 6 - 8 pm, there is a British car gathering at the Belmont Brewing Company in Long Beach, California. It is open to all British cars built before 1980, and to anyone who just wants to come by and take a look. The cars are parked on the west side of the Belmont Shore pool. The weather is warmer and the numbers keep growing. Please email me for more information christopher@christopherleonhardt.com
June 18 - 22, 2008 - Jensen Internationals East will be held June 18-22 at Watkins Glen, NY. Arrangements have been made for participants to take three paced laps at Watkins Glen International.

Attractions like downtown’s Gaslamp District, Old Town State Park, Sea World and the world famous San Diego Zoo await you. It’s always an ideal time to visit San Diego, but especially this week for Conclave 2008. Austin Healey Club San Diego’s Planning Committee has scheduled a fun-filled week for the whole family.
