Cars on Kiawah 2021, presented by Ally Bank, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the beautiful Ocean Park on Kiawah Island, 30 miles south of Charleston.
The event, now in its fifth year, will showcase the evolution of the automobile from the early 1900s through the present day. Over 250 “cars with character” from multiple countries of origin make up the display including eye-catching concours-level cars, sleek supercars, and classic muscle cars. There is even a separate display of cars interesting to kids, complete with hands-on activities.
Registration begins April 1, 2021. Each of the automobile registrations is reviewed by the com- mittee, with acceptance based on presenting a balanced show field that represents the history and evolution of the automobile. Registration is $40 per automobile and a photo is required. The show is held rain or shine. There are no refunds unless your automobile is not accepted by the committee. Food and drink vendors are onsite. A laid-back awards ceremony takes place at 2
p.m. To learn more about the show and to register, go to <www.carsonkiawah.com>
Spectator admission is free. Parking is $20 cash per car.

Drive your Triumph Day, February 10, 2021
Dear Fellow Triumph Owner,
One thing that has remained constant in this crazy pandemic year, is the pleasure to social distance by taking a drive in your Triumph. So, with that in mind, it’s time to plan a social distance activity for Drive Your Triumph Day, February 10, 2021.
My name is Rye Livingston and I’m with the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club in Northern California, which is celebrating our 62nd anniversary.
As you may remember a number of years ago, I encouraged members of our club to drive their Triumphs on February 10th, to celebrate Sir John Black’s Birthday, the man who organized Standard’s purchase of Triumph after the war, and went on to make the cars we enjoy driving today.
Last year I received about 350 photos from all over the world: Scotland, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Uruguay, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Canada, Holland, Czech Republic, and of course all over the USA. I’m hoping we can increase that number this year!
The concept is straightforward. On Wednesday, February 10th, go for a drive in your Triumph. Take a scenic drive on a country road or out to lunch, to the market, to work, wherever. Go for a drive alone or in a big group from your local Triumph Club. Take your spouse, buddy, child, grandchild or your dog; then take a photo. The photo is mainly of the car, and the owner if possible, ideally in front of a cool spot, landmark, scenic view or in your driveway. If it’s the middle of the winter where you live and your car is in hibernation, or in the middle of a restoration, take a photo of it anyway.
Next step is to email a high-resolution photo to driveyourtriumphday@gmail.com, along with some basic information: owner’s name, year and model of car, and place photo was taken (city, state, country). The photos will then be published not only in our club newsletter, but also in USA’s national magazine: Vintage Triumph Registry, and on the Drive Your Triumph Day website: https://driveyourtriumphday.shutterfly.com
Please feel free to send this on to other Triumph Clubs you may know of, and your club Activities Chairman and Newsletter editor. Last year a few Standard Clubs joined in too, which is great.
Be sure to contact me with any questions you may have, and thank you in advance for getting the message out to your members and friends to Drive Their Triumphs on February 10th.
JUST IN
John Black was the force behind Standard’s purchase of Triumph after WWII. He is responsible for the restart of the company that has produced our amazing cars as the buildings from the pre-war time were totally bombed. We celebrate his birthday every year with the international Drive Your Triumph Day. On Wednesday, 10 February, the GTA will hold a lunch at club member Tony Tiberia’s Sprig Restaurant. We’ll meet at 12:30 and line the cars up for a photo after we place our orders. Please show up and fellowship with your Triumph family!
RSVP to Joe Earnest on 678 778 6175 with name and car model, colour, and year.
