Greetings:

Wanted to post an upcoming event planned by the Central VA section of MBCA, and extend the invitation to everyone- we'll be heading down Route 20 to a member's farm in Scottsville, to grill, check out his auto collection, and hang out. See details below:

June 12 (Sunday) 1:00 p.m.
Summer Picnic & Rallye, Scottsville, VA
(Rain date is Saturday, June 18)

Meet at Monticello/Albemarle Co. Visitor's Center at Route 64 and 20. Then drive down Route 20 through Scottsville, destination Gilbert Somers' Farm (maps provided). Door prizes will be awarded at the picnic. By 2:00 p.m. the grills will be smoking with chicken, hamburgers, and hot dogs. You are encouraged to contribute your favorite dessert.

Join us for a tour of Gil's stained glass restoration studio and examine his eclectic collection of automobiles, including multiple Mercedes-Benz models located throughout several barns on the property. Gil has a history and story for each car, many of which he has owned and driven for decades.

Register by June 4: Cost is only $8 per person, and $5 per each additional guest ($10 per person after June 4). Be sure to visit the MBCA online Forum (www.mbca.cartama.net, events section) for updated details.

Wow! I can't believe that anyone is having anything near C'ville. Very cool. Lot of MBs but still... Anyway I'm gonna try to make it. My dad owns Pantops Servicenter btw. I'll try to bring the C36 TT if it will make it .

Yes, please join us! I'd really like to get a good group of C-ville people together more regularly.

Cheers,

JAS
