Lift Day #2, Francestown, NH

LIFT DAY #2
British Cars of New Hampshire
July 16, 2026, 9 AM to 12 Noon
Rich Eby, 920 Poor Farm Road,
Francestown, NH

Do you have a small task you’d like to perform on your car for which a lift would be helpful?
Such as inspecting the undercarriage of your car, rotating tires, changing the oil, greasing the
suspension fittings and those hard-to-reach universal joints on the propellor/half shafts. Then
come to Lift Day #2 of 2026 from 9am to noon on Thursday, July 16. The garage is well-
equipped with most required tools (including Whitworth) but bring any specialty tools needed.
If you are just looking for an excuse to take your car out for a drive and hang out with other
British car enthusiasts, also please join us. There will be coffee and muffins on hand.
Afterwards, we can head to Bob’s Chocolate Café on Main Street in Francestown before
heading home. We had a great time at Bob Britton’s Lift Day on May 16.
Please RSVP by July 12 if you plan to attend and include what tasks you want to perform on
the lift so the appropriate time can be scheduled.

Howard and I are offering a White Mountain drive July 15-17, including Cog Railway trip to the summit and a private visit to the Mt. Washington Observatory.

I just made reservations at the Mt. Washington Hotel. It’s expensive and if folks want to stay elsewhere, that’s fine. We will accommodate everyone’s plans.

Location: Meet at the Mobil station at the intersection of Rt. 16 and Rt. 109 in Wakefield, NH.
Time: 10:30 a.m.

I’ll plot a scenic drive up to the North country. We’ll stop for lunch, continue our drive, and arrive at the Bretton Woods hotel area by 4 p.m.
