Once again, Ralph Eriksen and his
B.I.G. staff put on a superior event in Adams County. Approximately
two hundred and forty British vehicles from all over the mid-Atlantic
region graced the center street and sidewalks of the Gettysburg
Outlet Mall on Sunday, July 11. Although the skies threatened,
and kept a few folks away, it never did rain and the clouds
did help keep the temperature down. Fine examples of exotic
Jensen, Allard, Lotus, and DeLorean marques and a few British
bikes (including a vintage BSA pedal bicycle) were interspersed
among the usual packs of MGs and Triumphs and gaggles of Austin
Healeys, Jaguars, Minis, and Morris Minors. These provided hours
of diversion to allow the “co-drivers” plenty of
time to frequent all of the stores! As in the past, the Zembo
Highland Bagpipers provided entertainment in the center court
during the noon hour.
In addition to the LANCO MG membership, those in attendance
represented the MGs of Baltimore, Central Pennsylvania Triumphs,
Triumphs Around the Chesapeake, Central Pennsylvania British
Car Club, Keystone Region MG Club, Philadelphia MG Club, Colonial
Vintage British Car Club, British Car Club of Delaware, Delaware
Valley Triumphs, Delaware Valley Jaguars, Delaware Valley Classic
MG Club, and many others. The LANCO MG and the Adams County
Toys for Tots program thanks all that helped in making the 4th
annual “B.I.G.” show a resounding success.
