EDITOR’S CORNER

Despite the fact most of us are not driving our cars it doesn’t mean we can’t get together to enjoy sharing adventures as a car club, Case-in-point the recent Amtrak Road Trip to Lacrosse Wisconsin. Fourteen hearty souls left Union Station on Friday to share an adventure via Amtrak. What brave souls venturing out on transportation method that doesn’t have the most on-time record for transporting folks from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. As it turned out, we were ahead of schedule most of the trip!

Then there was the Holiday Party – shifted from its early December timeslot to January to take advantage of the laxer schedule and possible after holiday pricing advantage. It doesn’t matter how you look at it, we had fun. The Lacrosse trip was exciting and the Holiday Party was well attended.

Now if only the Mother Nature would cooperate and let Spring happen so we can once again travel the roads in our Little British Cars.

See you on the road…
