[NoVa-Corvairs] Fall Tour Idea

[Darrin Hartzler]

Hi all,

Bill is on board and I have asked if he can do it on the 8th.

Would anyone be interested in volunteering to plot a course?  I have some 
advice from Bill and can put you in touch directly.   Problem is this 
should be done immediately and I am out of the country right now and have 
a crazy workload right now.  Anyone? 

I asked if we can do a picnic at his place or ID a nearby restaurant after 
scoping out his new Stinger and all his other beasts.  Maybe an hour or 
two at his place?

He suggests going from Leesburg, across at White's Ferry, a drive through 
of Sugarloaf mountain and then a stop at his place.  How does that sound?

Darrin & All!  Sounds like a great idea!  It has been a few years since we 
have held a fall tour...  Due to soccer (& ballet) for the next few weeks 
on Saturdays and the NVCC meeting next Saturday, the next three Sundays 
would work good for me (10/25 or 11/1 or 8).  Darrin, see if you can get 
the "Mini" route from Bill, since it is already done, and probably a 
pretty interesting route to boot!  Greg

classics...and several Corvairs including, I think, a Stinger he picked up 
this year or last.   He is willing to host a meeting in the Spring and 
has, I think, a portable lift.   I have been trying to get him to join for 
a bit as he does all his own work on his car and used to work at a Corvair 
only shop in the area.

day...interesting stuff, but not a museum, they all drive.

me as I like to go to the Rockville show.
