Hi Ron, John,
I'm definitely not interested in driving dirt roads, or really potted
roads in either the Elan or the TR6 - just not enough clearance and
suspensions are too stiff to make it fun. I've got two 4wd vehicles when
I want to go off-road. ;-)
Regarding parading vs. driving, our club seems to have two camps - one
for each activity. We've lost members to the Wine Country Car Club who
prefer less spirited drives, with more socializing and public display of
their nice cars, and we've gained new members who like to drive.
However, there does seem to be an interest in mixing the activities, and
I think we can accommodate driving, socializing and public appreciation.
John and I discussed his route preparation, and the hopes we'll have a
good turnout. Because the route is a little long, and on quite twisty
roads, we were talking about splitting the group into two; those in the
lead who want to go a little faster, led by John, and a more sedate
group with a different leader. Everyone has the route, and I'll bring a
couple of FRS radios which may be of some help if we aren't separated by
too much distance. We can also exchange cell phone numbers if needed;
those of us with a navigator can safely drive if the navigator handles
the comms.
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
