Calling all British car owners and enthusiasts. British Car Week is an annual British car driving awareness week for promoting British cars on a world-wide basis, and is scheduled for May 31 to June 8 this year. Participants don't need to travel very far for this event, because it usually takes place in their own community.

If your local car club staff doesn't have anything listed on their calendar during May 31 to June 8 this year, then you need to make them aware of British Car Week. After all, this is a calling for all owners of classic British cars to get together with other car owners in their own communities and kick tires, tell stories, answer questions, and have a good time.

If you're a British car enthusiast reading this, think about how you originally became interested in your favorite British car. Chances are, you caught a glimpse of one and it quickly swept you off your feet. Later, you somehow managed to acquire one, and from that time on, it has provided you with a lifetime of fun and entertainment.

British Car Week is all about providing opportunities for potential enthusiasts to become aware of older model British marques, and hopefully generate interest and enthusiasm among the next generation who can enjoy and maintain them for many years to come.
