Yep - believe he's already started his trek.

Where ya at, Doug? And when do you think you'll be in the area? I'm trying to plan the rest of the week, including the wife's birthday and our visit with the kids.

Was good seeing you yesterday, Doug.
 
Thanks Mickey - was great to meet up with the group.
In New Hope,VA,I "just happened" upon a car show,& got a $250
watch for only $5!
They had a raffle - 6 tickets for $5.I told my Wife that if
I hadn't stayed for the entire show that i would have missed out.
Our Daughter got married today,& got to visit with our
other two Grandchildren.
We're staying in Lynchburg,VA,heading back to Richmond
tomorrow.

Doug - congrats on reaching the east coast!

How 'bout some photos of the places you've seen, and people you've met, along the way?

I got to visit Sports Car Workshops,in Richmond.They have lots
of really cool British/European cars for sale,+ they do repairs.They had
a MKII Ford Escort & Lancia Fulvia there.
Also got to visit Japanese Classics,which import rare/unusual used
Japanese cars.The guy who showed me around showed me his project car-
an MGB!
I also went to visit Moss Motors East Coast operation,just South of
Richmond.They have Al Moss's MG TC,the Gold 100.000th MGA,+ a few
other cars.
I didn't take many pictures,but will download what I have when I
get home.
Tomorrow it's on to the Norfolk area.I'm still learning to speak "Southern".

Don't forget Lane Motor Museum!

And keep practicing your Southernese.
 
I visited the Lane Mesuem last week - VERY Cool!I was there on a Wednesday.
Was told that they were closed,but there were people there who told me to "go look-
around".I got to view the collection,+ plus the cars in the garage.
I also visited the Coker Mesuem,in Chattanooga,where they were running a
local version of the "Great Race",which they hold the rights to.There were two British cars
entered - a real mini,& a "driver" Bugeye.
I talked to the Lady who owned the Bugeye,who told me that she drives it a lot.
She also told me that she was Corky coker's Daughter.
