British Car Links

There are thousands of sites on the internet dedicated to our cars (somewhat at odds with the low tech nature of most of the cars themselves!). There are marque sites, fan sites, owner's sites, vendor sites, technical information sites, humour sites, photo sites, magazine sites, it just goes on and on...  It will be an ongoing process to flesh out this page with links to those sites that are especially worthy of consideration so please check back often.The sites listed below are just a beginning...

A note of caution: The appearance of a web site here does not necessarily imply an endorsement! I'd like to hear from members about their experiences with various vendors and sites. The sites your webmaster has dealt with and recommends are marked with a small Iowa British Logo and my initials [ RJ ] which is an email link to me. If you'd like my opinion of the linked site you can use this link to send me a question. I'd be happy to place a similar link to other members with opinions about various vendors.

Please feel free to email Ric Johnson with any of your favorite sites you feel should be added here,
or your opinions of sites already listed!

The Last Open Road  RJ
  • Ever wonder why so many cars at the vintage races (and Ric's MG) have those "The Last Open Road" decals on the trunk? Then you haven't read the books... B.S.(Burt) Levy is a racer, frequent magazine columnist, and self proclaimed "notorious ride mooch", as well as a fellow member of Age & Treachery Racing. He's also written three of the best fictional works about the early days of sports car racing in the western hemisphere; "The Last Open Road", "Montezuma's Ferrari", and "The Fabulous Trashwagon". While fictional, those who were there testify to how accurately Burt has captured the feeling surrounding the early days of real road racing at Watkins Glen, Elkhart Lake, and the Carrera PanAmericana, and the beginning of the SCCA. This site is the home of Burt's publishing company Think Fast Ink and has info on the books, Last Open Road merchandise, and even a story or two. Your friendly webmaster highly recommends these books and the web site.
