While all y'all OKI folk are my peeps, I don't know if I can stand 2 hours of shopping, so this drive probably isn't for this one. Although I suppose I could leave Laura with y'all, and go explore the area roads. Hmmmm......

28 south of Highlands looks very interesting.

The drive will be on Friday and I think Mike meant it wouldn't be the kind of drive everyone wants to go on (two hours of shopping? Are you kidding?).

Tom, she can ride with me if I go. I like Highlands (spent some time at a B&B there a few years ago and my brother lives in Cashiers (which is just down the road). Rt 28 is a fun road (you should drive it at night).

This is my first time attending this event. Is there another drive scheduled for Friday or is this it? Just asking to see what my options are.

There is always a drive to Franklin and if you're a newbie, the newbie Dragon drive is Friday morning before the Franklin drive. You'll have lots of opportunities to drive a lot of really great roads.

May I join you gentlemen?

I am new to the club and very unsure of myself on a curvy road. Can someone ride with me to show me how to take curves fast like you older owners?

I am told that Looter(whet's all this about his nuts?), Lovetodrive(I think he is known as Pigman),KGF3076(someone referred to him as the Gand Poobah). any of those people should be able to help me since they are experts.

I'm an old guy and more accustomed to driving large Fords and Mercurys

See all of you at that Dragon thing.
