tread on me, 54-40 or fight,

EDITORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS are
always welcome.
It’s 10:30 on a Monday morning and
I’m sitting in the Black Bear Crossing
Café next to Lake Como. Out the
window I can see the Hamm
Memorial Water Falls. The temp is
about six below so they’re covered
with snow and ice, which is not exactly
cascading over the boulders right now
But if I squint just right, winter
disappears and I can see the splashing
water, the green grass, and behind it a
hint of vintage foreign motorcars with
a crowd oowing and aahing over
them.
That’s right, the location for the 2009
Inter-Marque Spring Kick Off has
changed. This year we’re going to
someplace where the general public
hangs out. As I said before, today it’s
below zero on an overcast weekday
morning. Even so, there are still a halfdozen folks drinking coffee here in the
Black Bear and maybe a dozen
masochists out tempting frostbite on
the walking path around the lake. There
will be many more on a sunny
Saturday in May.
These are the kind of people that need
to see your car. People that have hidden
that soft spot we all have for the glory
of the not-that-distant past. Who can
ask questions like, “Can you drive a
car like that on the freeway?” or “How
much does a car like this cost?” Not
all of these folks will end up joining
our support group, but those whose
minds are warped in a special way will.
This year’s spring-kick-off offers us a
unique opportunity to get together—
not only with ourselves, but also with
potential new members of our
community. Don’t miss it.
About the Monthly. When last we
talked, I was threatening to quit. After
five or six weeks of recuperation,
many pleading emails, the selection of
the Como Park location for the Spring
Kick Off, and one or two offers of
help, I changed my mind. I love those
quirky old cars, I enjoy the people
connected to them, and the Monthly
has been my baby for seven-plus years
now.
On the other hand, I need more help
from you than I’ve been getting in the
past. More articles, more photos, more
ads, lots more help with the publishing
process. Also, while my hardware/
software is adequate for now, there
may come a time when I ask for
contributions to update it.
Expect the next issue on, or about,
March 15. (If I get the help I was
whining about in the previous
paragraph.)
Out & About
Another Reason Why It’s so
Tough to Put on Winter
Rallies
by Tim Winker
Got word this week from Jim
Jurgenson that they can't splice
together enough plowed roads to
make an interesting rally near
Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The Oneida
Triangle Rally was scheduled for
February 21.
The problem is the county boys don't
like to plow the “fun” roads, so they
leave them to the snowmobilers.
Anyone who has tried to put together
a winter rally using the twisty roads
knows this problem, and the more
snowmobilers, the less they plow the
roads.
This Picture Needs
a Caption
Desmond Whitney sent us this
photo and I’ll let you guess
whether he owns the Bentley or
the Citroen dressed in the
matching outfits.
Whichever it is, this is a picture
just crying out for a great caption. Send your entries to the
editor whose decision on the
winning caption is more final
than election results in the state
of Minnesota. However, since
there will only be one vote cast,
the recount wouldn’t take too
long.

the Intermarque Banquet. It was hosted by the Minnesota Triumphs club
and took place in the dead of winter inside a hotel (then a Hilton,
now the Sheraton Gateway). Only seven or eight cars
were allowed to be pushed onto plastic tarps in
the dining room. Most of the display cars
were British but there was also an
exotic Alfa Romeo Montreal
present.

1997: Within a year or two the InterMarque had moved. To warmer weather and to
the Fort Snelling Officers
Club. At first,
the Minnesota

continued to
host the event,
but gradually it
began to be
passed among
some of the
British clubs.

parking lot.
2003: Interest in the banquet (it was still called a banquet even though the car show was attracting
more and more of the attention) faded late in the millenium as it became harder to get
individual clubs to host the event. As a result, the revived Inter-Marque Council took
over the event. A few banquet/shows were held at the late and much lamented Sherlock’s Home. This stopped after parking got sparse

PREVIEW:: 2009
PREVIEW
SPRING KICK-OFF
by Phyllis Galberth
When the term “Marque” pops up
in a conversation the subject
usually is a foreign motorcar, often
a vintage model. This is definitely
the case at the Inter-Marque
Council Spring Kick-Off.
The inaugural Spring Kick-Off was
held in 1994 and quickly gained its
own following, growing from just
a local car show/social event to the
ultimate vintage foreign motorcar
exhibition in the Upper Midwest.
The 2009 Spring Kick-Off will be
held on Saturday May 16, 2009, at
a new location….Como Park
Picnic Hill and Pavilion Parking
Lots in St. Paul.
Each year this event attracts
vintage
foreign
motorcar
enthusiasts from all over
Minnesota and from other states in
the Upper Midwest. 120+
motorcars are expected to
participate in the motorcar
exhibition this year.
Our new “spectator friendly”
location will allow more people to
see/visit/inquire about our
motorcars. Spectators like to
reminisce about the motorcars that
are on display with many
commenting that they owned
similar examples or remembered
seeing them on the roadway.
The motorcar exhibit hours will be
from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with
motorcar placement starting at 8:00
a.m.
During the event there will be a
social gathering for the exhibitors,
motoring club displays, and more.
Also, there will be ample time to
visit the Como Zoo, Marjorie
McNeely Conservatory, photo
opportunities at the Hamm
Memorial Waterfalls, and of course
a leisurely walk around the lake.
Flash: Nine out of
ten meteorologists
believe it will be
warmer than this on
May 16
An informational flier with
complete details of the event will
be in the next issue of your
motorcar club newsletter.
See you on May 16th at the Spring
Kick-Off!!
