Love reading about all the East coast/midwest and southern car shows and driving events. Living vicariously through descriptions and photos by others of venues and back roads I'll probably never get to see otherwise has always been a pleasure in the life of this old bloke. My age and health will probably keep me from attending any that far from home.....however seems like the west coast faction and events I could possibly make aren't getting the notifications out in time for plans to be made. The SoCal Brit group seems quite active as do the folks with some of the NorCal Brit clubs (where are the the folks from Sorry Safari and MG of NorCal ie?) Shoot I would even try to make some of those fun times put on by the great folks I've met in Oregon, Washington and B.C. if they would list their events on the calendar here. Granted I'm not necessarily a club joiner ( I belong to three currently) so not considered an insider, but then again I bet I'm in the majority of lbc owners who like to meet up occasionally. Please keep the pics and descriptions coming and remember 2015 is fast approaching and I really would like to get more wheel time in and meet more of you lot!

I would love to join some tours.

But I can't afford overnight stays, or more than a tankful of gas (say, 250 miles with safety factor) from home base and back for a tour unless I can budget it in advance.

Only "retirement" I have is SS and that's not much.

20+ yrs ago I started a similar group for local graphics artists. They were all in favor until it came time for someone else to take over.

And it went away.<G>

I don't want to bother with that again.

I will follow. Don't want to lead.<G>

Be the seed. Let others show up. Some young gun will lead.

Okay Mac every other Saturday when the sun shines, be at my house at 9 AM with a sack lunch and a full tank. Thats when the NoBBC (Google it) has a drive. No officers, no dues, no meetings. We all just meet and drive. Don't wanna take your car? We can take one of mine. I posted here cause I don't mind overnighters and seeing some new places.
