MARK/RICARDO/JON/ROBB/JUNE:

I probably won't make it to tonight's meeting. Here's the info on the upcoming garage tour.

Saturday, Oct. 13

We'll begin about noon at Jon Lexau's shop, where we can take a closer look at his pair of Lotus cars. He has a neat basement shop with a garage door entrance at the back of his house. It's pretty well equipped with all the stuff he needed to re-engineer his Europa to become something of a modern-day Type 47. Anyone who has seen it circle PIR knows that it goes like stink and makes some really wonderful sounds down the front straight. 

From Jon's shop we'll travel about a mile to my place. My shop is much more basic than Jon's. I've been rebuilding an S-2 Europa in it for the past three-plus years. The car isn't done yet, but it is along far enough that's it is ready for a show-n-tell. 

I'm also trying to get my neighbor to open his garage door so folks can see his Europa project. After watching the glacial rate of change on my car over the years, Robb bought his own project car about six weeks ago and has been making outstanding progress on it. I now fear it may be finished before mine.

Lunch will be served at my place. June is making soup and bread and we'll have something for dessert. We'll also have wine and beer available. Our tastes in alcohol are somewhat pedestrian, so if anyone prefers something fancy, they'll have to bring it along.

Jon's house is at 8180 SW Miller Hill Road in Aloha. Mine is at 18212 SW Fallatin Loop, Aloha. Both addresses show up on Mapquest/Garmin etc., but I can also provide directions to folks who prefer to get lost the old fashioned way.

It would be great if folks could let me know if they plan to attend, so we know how many bowls I have to wash ahead of time. They can reach me at jfboone at aol.com
