RROC and BDC car club events
Pat owns a 1951 Mark VI Bentley. In 1978 Pat and his cousin, Bill went to London, UK, to purchase the Bentley. We have attended numerous club events with this car. As of 2009 the primary events we attend are the Fuel Economy run held in September and the Spring Meet, held in April or May. I will be listing the events we have attended with links to any of the albums as I finish them.
