sonny's fall run up the mountain yesterday. glorious fall weather and good group assembled out in fogelsville to start the proceedings. Then up 863 to Wannamakers store for a pit stop. over to the angle- Sonny's place of Zen. over hawk mountain and back on the back side of the ridge to lunch at Thunderhead. Always a good day. Saddened at the end with news of John Wetzig's passing. Our RCM brotha from another m***a. We will be working on some sort of memorial here. Meanwhile, John would definitely have enjoyed this one. Happy roads ahead my friend!

VanSant fly in today. It's a lot to absorb. I'll make a couple posts to give a flavor. RCM had a hamfam breakfast before Tom, Bob, Bill and Mary, Jeff and Molly, and Sonny toured out to the airport. I let SIRI pick the way and she had us on some real back roads, much to the Ghibli's dismay. But all survived and we got to the aerodrome. Easily a thousand cars. Probably more, and bikes galore we never even tried to observe. I clicked away over a hundred shots, just of cars I found interesting. Plenty I didn't even try to see. Lunch at McCalls on the way home for the Eagles game. Nuff said there. heres the 1st 50.

Succasunna at least had a decent day today.. I hope their show went off well. I start with a photo of the Ocelli Mini appearing there a ways back as reported in the old British Marque Club News - miss that. Also let's take another look at the tileworks show through Mary's lens. This weekend is wings and wheels at Van Sant airport also. I never got it on the event calendar but it's a fun trip. Lots to see and do- Sunday the 18th.

twas going to be a double header weekend, but rain postponed the Succasunna trip. Luckily, Saturday dawned bright crisp and clear for the Brit show at the Tileworks in Doylestown. Hellertown Diner for breakfast where we met Jeff showing off a new treat. Then a back road route to the tileworks. This is the show formerly at Peddler's Village that moved here last year. Nice assortment of cars and people and we'll be back next year I'm sure. Poor Succasunna show. They've not had much luck. It used to be in May, one of the first of the season, but a couple years bad weather prompted a move to October. Still scheduled for Monday I think, but not much luck with that. We will try again next year. meanwhile, here are the shots from Saturday.

Delval Alfa had their picnic on Sunday. I was lured in by a description of a revolutionary war loop around the Fort Washington state park where the event was held. This is just down the road from Hope Lodge where we go to the Brit car show in June. Militia Hill, Fort Hill, Camp Hill all get their names from skirmishes after the fight at Germantown before the Continental army removed to Valley Forge for the winter. Seemed a good way to spend a Sunday. Bill and Mary had the GTV revved up and ready and John got the Giulia over from Mannheim area to meet us. Unfortunately my normally reliable Berlina refused to start after getting gassed up so I had to walk back to the garage to get a backup steed. The BGT (with final body design by pininfarina- at least some Italian connection) was more than happy to lead his Italian brethren down to Fort Washington. Overcast, but a delightful drive down the Geryville pike and then to Skippack and rt 73 which led us to FW. Drizzle began past Skippack, but until then it was a fine fall morning jaunt. Got to the picnic, saw old friends, made some new ones, but worries about the abandoned sport sedan ( at the gas station) had me hustling back to town without doing the loop. Alfa did groan in to life, likely an issue with the cold start solenoid or thermostatic actuator. I'm thinking it doesn't shut off, so it flooded and fouled the plugs. It was hesitant after it started but seemed to get better by the time I got back to the garage. In the meantime, Bill was busy taking pics, so heres the action.

lots of RCM posts recently, but we had to get through all the Radnor shots, in which we get to see cars not usually on display in the local shows and get togethers. But now we are back to normal, last Saturday was the KBCC picnic up at the DeBourbon's place outside Delaware Water Gap. This prompted one of the all time great drives over the mountain at Blue Ridge Ski resort and Upper Smith Mountain, to Cherry Valley road almost to the Delaware. Treat yourself some time. Everyone missed Chaz, but a good time had by all I'm sure. Definitely a bunch of fine cooks in this group.

Radnor concours. final set (at last). here are the supercars, cars for sale by dealers, cycles (of interest to me), and finally a couple regular cars in the motorsports section. This is basically a place for enthusiasts to park and display their steed among like minded enthusiasts.

Radnor Concours- next bunch. Now we take a stroll through the years and watch the evolution of the auto as I go chronological. Plus a James Bond bonus at the end.
