The 2010 edition of RITV was held in one of the best setting we have ever had for this show. The town of Peachland opened their park on the lake to us and the backdrop of Okanagan Lake made for some spectacular views. Fortunately the weather reports were wrong again and the weather was perfect. Not too hot and just a bit of a breeze with no sign of rain. There were 25 drivers who showed up to display their cars, and although the non British members were invited, 23 of the cars were British. Apparently there was a national sanctioned autocross event down at the coast so most of our racing members were out of town.
It was nice to see some of the past presidents and previous members who showed up to display their cars. There was no voting for any car but just by listening to the spectators I think Harvey Stocknow’s Triumph Stag would have won best in show. The first reaction is always “what the hell is that” and then everyone comments on the great paint job and the interior work. PP Hugh Simpson not only had his Austin truck in the show, he donated his deck and several bottles of wine from the Duck & Pug for our lunch. PP Kate Martin and Tom were there but driving something mundane since the TR8 was up on the hoist for some sort of repair. Lunch was catered by the Carrot Top Café from Summerland and they did their usual great job.
