Sound like a real good idea. A way for us to get together and do what we all like, DRIVE and Talk.

If you're really looking for a reliability run (test, more like it!), I'd suggest a run from Harrisburg, PA winding up through the hills to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.
Bring some water, tools and an extra gas can. Maybe we can join in...

I'm in.
A trip up through the Adirondaks up to Lake Placid in the fall would be cool.

If you want to do the run from Harrisburg to the PA Grand Canyon, I can hook us all up on the north end. Wellsboro is a really cool old town near the grand canyon and I do a lot of business there. We can hit some cool car spots along the way up from here. If you want to run up rt 6 from Scranton to Wellsboro you can all stop at my place for a cold one and garage tour. This is a nicer route than going up route 15--more scenic!! I can get a bunch of guys to join in from here. Lets do it!!!

I'm into it.If we go with Moondiscs idea,I could arrange for a free gondola ride up whiteface mountain for all.

Twisty mountain backroads would be fun. Somewhere in eastern PA looks to be the most central location.

Hey I got an Idea. How about starting out in NJ, going through the Lincoln tunnel, up through Manhatten to the cross Bronx expressway than back across the George Washington bridge. During rush hour! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We did have a MID winter run for those interested: it will most likely be a repeat of last year wben The so what guys made a "statement" and showed up in full force for posies open house.. the plan is to do it again..
however the harrisburg to wellsboro run sounds great we can all stop by sunbury and help jt get his car out of the garage!!
seriously though my dad is a crew chief for a nascar team based in williamsport, PA I can prohabably get us a tour.
in addition since my pops shop is just north of jersey Shore PA. we would have road service help for the "unreliables" in that area..

Count me in! I think the shop tour idea is tops. Throw in some bowling, lunch and a few miles in the hot rod.... I wouldn't miss it!!!
I might even be able to get Long Island Vic to ride shotgun.
No matter what, I'm in.

Give me advanced warning...i would be interested but I would need to remove my head from my ass and get my shit together.
Spike, if you want some help rewiring the coupe give me a yell. More than happy to help.
the Adirondacks are a beautiful ride, but more in Aug. it gets cold real quick up tere.How about up the Taconic to Lake Champlain or lake Placid?

That's why I drink rum instead of JD now.
Firewater bad! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Wish I could have hung with you longer JT.
I don't know if it was the french onion soup or the rum,
but my stomach told me it was time to stop!
BTW, if you STILL don't have your car together, and this reliability run happens, you and the misses can ride with us. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The snowdrift in front of the garage has melted down far enough for me to power through it... I'm ready to roll!
Question for Sawzall: do you know the date of the open-house
in Hummelstown??
I vote for making one of the shops the starting point and having a small run from there. The race car shop sounds cool if you could swing it. I'm up for anything.
