This is a heads-up and request for RSVPs. First the heads-up: It’s supposed to rain tonight (Friday) through early Sunday morning, and our country estate is 1/10 of a mile from paved road. The last 1/10 has not had fresh aggregate installed for a couple of years, and promises to be a glutinous quagmire of mud on Sunday.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>On the other hand, Corvairs are pretty good in slippery stuff, my shop has heat (as does our house, if the weather is worse than anticipated), and we are able to accommodate folks who might show up – we obviously had no alternative plans for Sunday afternoon!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>So, be forewarned if your 101 point concours Corvair was going to be your transport! It would get a mud bath on the undercarriage. But if you’re like me, and drive the old stuff like it’s real, or would like to drive your real car to come out, hang around, and eat with a few die-hard loonies, well, we’ll be here. What I would appreciate at this point is an RSVP from those who are going to brave the last 1/10 of a mile so we don’t end up with months of taco, taco, taco for dinner. And please, pass this message on to anyone who might not be on this mailing list.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Eric Schakel<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>303 319-0788<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________ <br>This message was sent by the RMCs mailing list, all copyrights are the property of the writer, please attribute properly. <br>This list sponsored by the Corvair Society of America, <a href="http://www.corvair.org">http://www.corvair.org</a> <o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></body></html>
