If you happen to be in the Los Angeles area this Sunday, you might want to stop by the confluence of the 101 and 405 freeways where Woodley Park will be hosting the annual oiling of the grass, or as it’s better known, the Queen’s English All-British Car Meet and Jumble. The event runs between 9AM and 4PM, but spectator parking is somewhat limited, so you may want to get there early. If you like your fish served in yesterday’s newspaper, or the exciting mystery of whether you’ll make it home or not, then British cars are right up your alley. Participating will be a riot of Rovers, a multitude of MG, an avalanche of Austins, and lots of Loti. Food and facilities will be available, and the Jumble (or swap meet) may be the opportunity to find that missing leaf spring gaiter or key fob you’ve been desperately seeking. The participant entry form may be found here, and the event is free to spectators. Map and directions are here. If you aren’t planning to be in LA this weekend (come on, this show is reason enough!) don’t worry, a mega-super-big gallery will be posted next week for all your Lucas-joking enjoyment.
