Balto./Wash. ride September 20

[baltobernie]

The weather here will soon be ideal for open-air motoring! This ride begins about twenty minutes due West of Baltimore, which places it within striking distance of you DE and PA folks.

Anybody else in town for business or pleasure? I'm sure we can find a car for you.

A dozen cars have signed up thus far, and the weather forecast is perfect. Several new members are attending their first event, and we certainly have room for more! Eighty-five total miles and a brunch stop at Eunice's Restaurant in Frederick, featuring home cooking.

mid-50's at the ride start, but all tops were down once underway! Debbie really appreciated the Spider's heater output on the drive up! (even with the footwell vents open )

Eleven cars and 18 participants, plus a few for lunch-only.

Hard to believe, but right here we are 30 miles from the White House.



A great brunch at a home-style restaurant, where three observant owners won prizes in a contest recalling noteworthy items along the route. It's great to see entire families attending these events; one ten-yer-old newbie was enthralled with all the colors and options, another crew in a packed Lancia Beta.



Next drive is October 3rd. Hope to see you there.

Wow, Bernie! You guys had a great turn out and looks like you had the perfect weather to compliment the beautiful scenery. Sure wish I was closer to you guys. I'd surely be enjoying the day with you.

Great shot of the cars. 30 miles from the White House! That's a suprise to us west coasters.
Thanks for the pics Bernie. With the weather still around 100 out here, we're having somewhat of a Fiat gathering drought. At least I can enjoy your ride vicariously.

Thanks, guys. See the guy in the red shirt? That's Richard Ridge, a long-time member of the club. His dark blue Turbo, under the billboard, will be on national TV next week. I'll let Mike B. break that news ...
