Welcome to the QCBAC event photo page. 

I've had to relocate the photos here on one of our Archive sites due to space problems on the main site.  Just hit your browser's "Back" button, or use the navigation button above to go back to where you were.

We like to have fun with our cars and to eat good food.  
See some of the things we have been up to.

This event was at Texas Roadhouse, sadly, the flash on my digital camera died, so the photo quality is poor.

We also got to meet Jim and Pegg, who are the new owners of Chuck Thompson's Spitfire.

We had 19 for our first ever dinner at Moline's Brown Bottle.  Some new members were there.  

We talked about the car show and cookout coming up on September as well as many other things.  A preview copy of the Autofest 2009 booklet was passed around as well.

flicks09sml.jpg (56179 bytes)
We had a nice turn out for the Flicks show.  Since I had driven in the rain the day before, I stopped to wash my car and didn't get the chance to park with everybody else.

We also had a nice turn out for the Silvis Moonlight Parade event too.  I spotted several British cars there at the car show, but again this time, we were not parked together

dougs52mg.jpg (65491 bytes)
One of the main reasons I went was to see the 1952 MG of new members Doug and Carol.  It's actually an MG replica, but it's electric powered.

A bunch of us got together and headed to Geneseo on a magnificent day.....

Out of around 250 cars of all kinds, we all added 14 British cars of all types.

A perfect day to look at cars, or just enjoy a cool shady spot.

Carl helped Ed out by happily driving Ed's Cushman scooter back home.

Back when Carl and Carol first met, Carl had one just like it and would ride it out to see Carol.

geneseosml09h.jpg (57629 bytes)
Ed and Deb graciously invited all 23 of us back to their home.  The street in front of their home sure looked nice, with all of our cars parked out there.

geneseosml09i.jpg (78878 bytes)
We all enjoyed a nice chat and a tasty dinner.
Thanks for the hospitality, Deb and Ed!



bettchurchshowsml09.jpg (55225 bytes)
A couple of us returned to this event, held at a Bettendorf church.  Roger Mall was also there with his Austin Healey replica.  It was parked in another area.

The church holds it as a benefit for military families.  Last year, they collected something around $7,000.  A nice event and a good cause.

famousdavessml09.jpg (65266 bytes)
We had a very nice turn out for this one, our first club visit to Famous Dave's in Davenport with 19 in attendance.

Barb and Bob drove in from Iowa City.  Bonnie and Keith drove in from north of Waterloo, Iowa!
Thanks to all for coming, your attendance certainly makes planning these dinners rewarding.

This was our 3rd 'pick up point' in Dixon on the drive up to White Pines.

If I recall, there were over 30 people attending the lunch.  Most were members of the Chicago area Austin Healey club.

whitepineschatsml09.jpg (59851 bytes)
After the lunch, many of us hung out in the parking lot, chatting and looking cars over. It was a nice day, although a little chilly.

boathousesml09.jpg (57669 bytes)
We had a small, but nice group of 10 at our recent Boat House dinner social.  Crowds everywhere seem to be smaller, H1N1 concerns maybe?
