Already that time of year, for the annual Ottawa All British Car Day - The only British Only car show in the Ottawa area. This event is dedicated to showcasing and celebrating the complete spectrum of British marques. 2009 was the fifth year organizing this show at the same location at Britannia Beach Park - Lakeside Gardens.

See this link for my very wet pics .....

Did the 350km+ roadtrip today without a hitch, was a fantastic day !
The event seemed a little down in numbers, but had some very nice quality just the same....the wedge comunity was very well served , everything from A daily driver 12 month a year yellow FHC, a new to our groupe "purple" TR8, A brought back from the dead Aqua TR8,our merry trio of regulars (my dhc,bendders fhc,and Pauls ex-tr8) and a couple of ovtc wedges the burgandy fhc, and immaculate blue 8.

Here's a little sampling of what I saw

and a linky for the rest of the pics....

Some lovely cars Ron

The 4x4 jag is mad looking, what is the modern white car after the yellow lotus 7?

Looks like a good day.

I don't reckon that 4X4 Jag should be there. I reckon there would be
as much Canadian engineering as British in it.

Nice to see you again Ron and great pictures. Looks like people repositioned the cars after the 'pop up monsoon'....

show was sponsored by the local Jag dealer, it's the 2011 XJ.
a rather huge vehicle, personally I find it better from the back than the front...

i don't think there is that much Canadian engineering in it. If there were it would be pulled by dog's and have ski's under it.
