OK... since nobody else will start this thread.. Guess I will... 
Fridays are for Franklin Drive
Join us for a leisurely drive down Rt 28 (and a few added side roads, maybe) to Franklin, with lunch at Caffe Rel (if you haven't eaten there, this place is fantastic!). Returning to Fontana via Wayah Road.
Meet up at the Wildwood Grill at .... depending on your group number..... 9:00 - 10:30...
Limit is 10 cars per group!
Let me know if you plan on going, so we can determine if we need to add another group.
If you are not an experienced driver, or are uncomfortable with a spirited drive, group 1 is not for you.
If you prefer a slightly less spirited drive, sign up for the moderate pace group.
Group 1 (semi-spirited pace) Leaving from Wildwood Grill at 9:30 sharp!!
1. Lovetodrive2000 - Kathy & Mike (tour guide)
2. Looter - Denny & Marge

I'M SIGNING UP TODAY!!! It'll probably just be me for Friday/Saturday.
It'll be the the final drive of 2018 before I put parked car insurance on it and put the car cover on until 2019. I have 17 years to restore it before prom! hahah.
