[DC AREA] Little day trip in October??

[slngsht]

Any of you DC area folks up for a short day drive and BBQ at Sugarloaf mountain in Maryland??



No specific date set yet. We'll have to wing it on a Saturday or Sunday based on weather. Leafs should be near peak color around that time.

Sorry to thread-jack, but I went to college (1970's) in Frostburg, MD in the Allegheny Mts. Any good Seven's roads that people have driven up there? I didn't own a car back then so I only drove those roads in a Greyhound bus! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/ack2.gif

Russ, glad you can make it. I think at this point Michael D can make it too. Looking forward to meeting you.



Whereabouts in Maryland do you live?

Nice pics, looks like a great trip!



BTW, who bought the Tim Allen Birkin with the red stripe (I suspect this is the car?).



Gert

[slngsht]

Yes, That used to be Tim A.'s car and is now owned by Russ.

[slomove]

Interesting....and congratulations to Russ. This was the first Seven I had a look at in 2002. A little too pricey for me at the time but very nicely built by Pete Challinor.



Gert

[russs]

Thanks, it's been a blat and an education to own.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will see what kind of wake it leaves as Mazda and I attend driving school tomorrow.



Russ

Love the headers and carbon, Russ. Hope to meet you soon.
