One of the biggest benefits of the ACOC Internationals, is the chance to share some spectacular experiences as a group, and then to sit down on a different table each night to discuss the day, and make new friends. Being far from home with 50 year old cars, creates the opportunity to help each other out, which forges lifelong friendships. In Scotland we had one clutch fixed, a couple of leaks, an exhaust mount fractured and fell off, a coil went down, etc etc. Each time one or more of the group set to and fixed the problem and kept the cars on the tour. The Rest and Be Thankful Hillclimb was a bit of a rally special stage with its loose surface, but several of the cars gave it a serious go! We all contributed money to the group which is restoring the track to its former glory, and one day we hope to see it used for serious competitions. So far we do not have a venue for the 2013 ACOC International. Are there any volunteers who would like to give it a try. We have many members who have been there and organised previous events, and who will give any help required! Somewhere warm would be nice. Andy.
