Old Business-
August Drive- 5 cars took backroads to Angelos. Gary Moss's British Open Classic was overcome with excitement and overheated all over the road, but the club members were able to rectify the problem and get him home.
Mystery Drive-Cohosted with the English Auto Society- 12 cars left for a destination only known to the drive leader. It turned out to be Helen, Georgia, and it was quite a surprise that everyone got there, with several drivers lost along the way for a period of almost an hour. Lunch was at the worlds largest ten commandments, and dinner at the Unicoi State Lodge. Everyone enjoyed the drive, even those that drove more roads than the rest of the group.
New Business
Club T-Shirts were discussed, with Donna reporting that she had a quote for shirts at a minimum order of 24 for $10 (sizes S-XL), $12 (XXL), and $13 for XXXL, plus one dollar per shirt for shipping.
Frank Ambrister moved that other quotes were sought for comparison, and an example of the burnt orange shade for the shirts will be brought to the next meeting
The generous host of this month's meeting will also host a tech session at EuroSport on October 10th. Members are invited to submit their cars for examples during this session, as long as the procedure needed can be carried out during the time allotted.
