I'm contemplating rotary meet and a maybe mountain drive or something at my place in mid-September. Any dates better or worse for anyone interested in coming?

I'm in Dawsonville behind the outlet mall, an hour-ish north of Atlanta.

9/26 could work. I'll bug a few people on Facebook and see what they say.

Check out these sweet seats I got today! $150! And they're like new, no wear or anything.




There's a GSL-SE at a very good price in Lawrenceville, it's tempting...

Those are pretty seats Brett, FD I assume?

Nice SE and a great price, but the interior color is incorrect, needs to be red leather for the black exterior:

B3R dates are up, October 3-4. https://www.rx7club.com/blue-ridge-r.../#post11959399

I'm thinking doing my shindig September 12th or 19th so it puts a weekend between it and any other events.

You're right Ray, that SE's interior doesn't quite fit the usual color scheme... Still a pretty good deal though!

Damn, we are rotarific social animals around here. Lake House, Brett's Bash, B3R, what's a rotor to do?

On the SE interior, I think it would look great with that Tender Blue Mike is always talking about.

It looks like that SE exterior is gray primer, so a Tender Touch Top spray should be a piece of cake.

I'm betting Gene buys it.

Blue Ridge Rotary Run. The Atlanta folks usualy caravan up Saturday morning, meet the Carolina guys in Brevard, and then head across the Blue Ridge Parkway to a camp ground a little north of Cherokee. Camping, rotaries, and booze. It's a pretty fun and cheap meet.

^^For the Blue Ridge Run, don't you just stop at one of "many" boutique moonshine stills nearby? I've heard they're as common as Starbucks in that part of the country

Hmmm, hey.... wait a minute. Moonshine and Starbucks.... sounds pretty good. Carmel Macciato with a double shot of espresso and a shot of shine.... We may have something new here! Starshine or Moonbucks

That's about it Tim, everything we drink or smoke up there is home brewed.

Thanks for sharing Tim. If that RX-3 was Tender Blue Metallic, he'd really have something there.

Its all smooth pavement at Smoke Mount campground so clearance shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for posting that Jay Leno bit Tim, very nice. I kind of like that black on gray look, Tender Blue would be too cutesy.

Did you notice that Jay knows 12A's, but doesn't have a clue about fuel injected 13B's? That's a true purist for you.

Cam you shouldn't have a problem getting into the camp ground unless Erica bought an MG with that FB money.

Robert's white SA (middle of the picture) made it up there no problem and his clearance is just a shade over a cat's whisker.

I think we're at the other campground this year, the one with the paved roads with the stream running by it.

Pretty car Erica! I have some Mazda caps that might fit those wheels. Good upgrade from the FB!

We all know bretts cost would have to be whatever the FC ran you. He may be in an FD, but we all go back to our roots sometime.

They were one of those things I bought for my FC but never got a chance to install them. I'll bring them to the Lakehouse meet and give them to Cam, I hope they fit! And free of course!
