Message-ID: <18368943.1240339057461.JavaMail.root@mswamui-valley.atl.sa.earthlink.net> Forwarded from the T-series list: California and San Francisco Bay Area T series owners should get a laugh out of the letter, paraphrased below that I recently got from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District: "Dear Vehicle Owner: Since the registration on your model year 1951 vehicle is expiring soon, please consider an alternative to driving this vehicle. You can receive $650 for your 1987 or older car, van or pickup truck from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and help reduce air pollution. The District's Buy Back Program buys and then scraps 1987 and older vehicles. These older vehicles have less efficient emission control equipment and therefore produce much more air pollution than newer vehicles. This program is completely voluntary. If your car is a classic car or otherwise valuable to you, please disregard this letter." Needless to say I will be disregarding the letter. No wait, I think I'll write the BAQMD and ask why they are wasting my taxpayer funds to mail these letters out to owners of cars as old as mine. Any car of this age still registered and in operation is already a classic and more valuable to the owner than the $650 offered. Still I wonder if the "program is completely voluntary" provision will someday be rescinded? Time to write your legislators and express your opinions now? John F.

This event is free & open to all owners of European, classic, high performance and any unique imported cars of particular interest. Emphasis will be on cars produced pre-1975. Also, unique cars from other continents welcome as well! This is a good excuse to take a drive to a Bay Area destination, blow the cobwebs out of the carburettors and meet with other local enthusiasts. NEW LOCATIONb&b&.. Simply Greek Restaurant, 4220-C Rosewood Drive, Pleasanton, CA - Phone: 925-463-8801 - Website:(www.simply-greek.com) Conveniently located in the Rose Pavilion near Santa Rita Road & Rose Pavilion Road (Just minutes from the Hwy 580/Santa Rita Road freeway exit) As before, this is an informal, relatively last minute gathering & an excuse to leave the "Honey Do" list behind as you "run to the hardware store for some parts." Since the last gathering of about 50 cars, we've had numerous requests to "Do it again." So, before the car show season gets into full swing, here we go again! We've got considerably more space at the Rose Pavilion as a result of a number of fairly large businesses that have vacated their properties.The Simply Greek restaurant parking lot (& adjacent area) will accommodate upwards of 75 cars. Simply Greek welcomes our group and offers unique, quality food (consistent with our cars!!). Within walking distance there are also a few other restaurants including TGIF, Asian, etc. As with the last event, the success of the event was largely due to enthusiasts spreading the word to friends, car clubs and those that who would like to see a casual collection of unique cars. THIS EVENT IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE: - Tired of "American Only" car gatherings with virtually no Foreign, Euro or interesting (to you) cars on display - Interested in a Saturday drive destination to meet with other Foreign car enthusiasts on a beautiful, sunny California day and tell car "tales" - Owner's of a wide range of foreign sports, specialty, high performance and unique vehicles are welcome to bring vehicles in any condition including; "drivers", show level examples, exotics, and even interesting "RIP" (Restorations in Progress) - Interested in meeting other foreign car owners and possibly organizing driving events and other activities for certain types / groups of cars - Have a car for sale and would like some free advertising to a group of potentially interested buyer's Sound interesting? If so, please join us for a few hours (or as long as you care to stay) of very informal socializing and viewing of some interesting cars. No need to RSVP, sign upb&just show up and let's see how many cars we can attract.

I would like to have a good cross section of cars, from all of the manufacturers. Our only requirement is that the cars are to have been built prior to around 1970.
