Message-ID: <4756F797.1050206@sonic.net>

It looks like the weather will cooperate for our ride this Saturday 12/8 
but if the report is wrong we will postpone until Sunday or ???

No one has stepped forward with a ride plan so the group present will 
decide. There is still time for discussion on the club list server so 
this may change. The ride will meet at 11AM in the commuter lot west of 
101 on River Rd. unless someone on the list server comes up with another 
plan.

If you're still not a member of the club list server, I urge you to go 
to  http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/nobbc and sign up so you 
won't miss the latest information.

Wendell will be hosting his boxing day run again this year meeting in 
front of the cheese factory on Sonoma town square on the 26th. so there 
will be at least one more ride this month.

Hi NOBBC gang,
Sorry to say Trish and I will miss tomorrow's drive. I've been deep into 
the rear suspension on the Lotus, finding a few unexpected surprises 
that need to be addressed. Parts coming from England, So Cal and 
elsewhere mean it's laid up for awhile, but I've got several jobs to do 
while the parts fly here and money flies away, so will do some of those 
tomorrow. Looks like it will be a great day for a great drive - you all 
have a blast. Some take some pics, OK?
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian

I would also like to remind everyone of Wendell's Boxing Day run

Hi Dawson, thanks for the reminder, the info is now posted on the 
site. And may I highly recommend this ride, as it will likely include 
many Morgans! (My favorite marque - highly biased, of course.)

  And people, PLEASE send photos for the NOBBC web site! I will give a 
free <http://smogthis.net/indexcards.html>Isis Imports 2008 Morgan 
Calendar to my favorite photo out of any I receive from this ride 
(extra points if it has a Morgan in it, due to the aforementioned 
bias) Please e-mail your photos to me at tkamstra at sonic.net and 
include NOBBC in the subject line of your e-mail.

Best wishes and happiest of holidays,

Tcherek - your NOBBC web mistress for  http://www.nobbc.com and  also 
http://smogthis.net

Seeing as how it's 18 below zero in a hot spot for global warming I was just
wondering if anybody in nobbc would be interested in helping me pay my energy
bills?
I could make a deposit to the Colorado Green fund.
They say that my car produces 30 dollars of damage to the environment each
year.(My Triumph not going anywhere all winter long stuck in my garage) They
also tell me that because my Toyota Tacoma (4 cyl-2.7 liter) -(2000) (outdated
model)-is also a great polluter and a contributing factor to this global
warming causing 18 deg.F-below temps that i should replace it w/a hybrid prius
that can not go through the snow that should not be on the ground, but the
snow is on the ground and iced over and that's because of the global warming
that I am causing because I need a 4x4 to go to work in the morning when the
roads are covered w/ snow and ice -maybe if somebody would just send me a new
non polluting electric truck then I could sleep good at night knowing that im
not the one that ended the world because i had to go to work..
If I can get enough of the nobbc and all others that want to bring an end to
the disasters of global warming then I can stay at home and not have to go to
work and not cause any further damage to the fragile planet.
Just think folks-w/your contribution of a measley 5 bucks a month I can help
bring an end to the end of the planet earth-
If you do not wish to contribute, then all I can say is you are all guilty as
am I for the destuction of the planet-

i sort of like it hear,

if you like planet earth as your home and would like to see an end to me
driving my truck to work and heating my home w/fossil fuel well then just send
up your 5 bucks.
i will ride my bicycle to the post office in the springtime after we break
above freezing temps.
untill then-below frozen temp cheers-

just send the money while the planes can still go under de-icing in denver-
the deiceing equpement is under review for being contributors to global
warming.
(or climate change-whatever the name off come rip me off today wants today)
just send the money fast-before the earth saving pony express pony-mules kick
the can at donner pass.

thank you for considering the frosen basturds that are suffering the effects
of global warming or climate change-take your pic.
contributions are tax deductibal at this time-
just as long as check cashed before hillary takes office.
(if we can get out of the house)
send funds fast-
so you dont forget send before 10:00 tonight.
thank you for your help in saving your own earth-
we want to help.

Since no one answered about a ride on New Years Day, I guess there is no 
interest, reply here if I'm wrong.

Andy and Marla are instrumental in forming a new local club called Wine 
Country Classics open to all makes. They are planning their first ride 
on 1/12 same day as our next ride so we have decided to join forces with 
a joint ride. The only downside is that they will start at 9:00 AM at 
the Doubletree in Rohnert Park so prepare for frostbite. (Andy, fill us

That's interesting. Can Andy inform the NOBBC how the Wine Country 
Classics differs from this group? Is it affiliated with the race of the 
same name held each year at Infineon? Dues, meetings, drive schedules, etc.?

One difference I know of is that it's not just for British makes, all

Hi NOBBC members.

Wine Country Car Club was formed about the end of October with
the first run on Nov. 3. It is very similar to NOBBC except it's open to
most collector cars. When formed we didn't call it Sports Car
club because we didn't want to scare off the person with
the 39 Packard and it wasn't called Classic Car Club because
we wanted the sports cars to show up too. Like NOBBC there are
no dues, and no newsletter. The only difference is that it's open
to pretty much anything that's interesting. So that includes the  
Alfa, Porsche,
Stutz, Mustang, Model A Ford, Volkswagen Beetle... You
probably get the idea. It has nothing to do with the Wine Country
Classic vintage race at Sears Point. The runs are intended to be
short, approx. 60 miles and end at an affordable but nice
restaurant to keep the ladies interest in coming along. Andy and
Marla's event will be the second one. The runs are monthly, but
December was skipped because of the holidays. Hope this clears
up any questions.

Hi Wendell,
Thanks for the further info regarding your new car club. It sounds like 
a great idea! There are a lot of marques out there, and focused marque 
car clubs are often just that - very focused. The Boxing Day drive was a 
great example of how enjoyable is a drive with a wide variety of classic 
cars.
Now I just have to finish the Alfa restoration...
Happy New Year!
Greg Tatarian

Well, there it is folks! This can be of benefit to our club also, the 
joint ride on the 12th should be fun.

Yes, I agree on both counts. Some of our members, like Trish and I, own 
classics other than British (perish the thought), and the selection of 
routes and destinations may be different than those NOBBC members 
choose. There may be some overlap and scheduling conflicts for drives, 
but the NOBBC is such a casual organization and drive attendance is 
often limited to a regular core of people. As a result, the new club may 
appeal to different people at different times. For example, the Golden 
Gate Lotus club drives, are, I've been told, more about routes and speed 
rather than destination. Alfa club drives are usually about interesting 
destination, occasionally with a lot of speed thrown in!
Cheers,
Greg
