What's up:   For years, I've run a similar tour the day before 
             another, ah, special-interest car event.  Well, I no
             longer own any of that particular variety of, ah,
             special-interest car, so I thought I'd move the 
             tradition to the variety of special-interest car
             I *do* own.  The All-Italian Car Day in Alameda was
             the perfect event, and when that weekend became
             available for me I was happy to put this tour 
             together for the day before.

             The tour route itself is somewhat flexible, and has
             been worked out over the past 8 years.  People who have
             attended previous tours love the places we stop, the
             roads we take, and the people and cars that show up.

             While the event is on the ARA calendar in this month's
             Cams, I'd certainly welcome members of any other club
             (or *no* club) to join us for the day.  As a note
             to DSARC folks: you can still make your club tour to
             the Barber Shop on Sunday, and make this drive with us
             on Saturday.  (And look for an East Bay springtime Y2K
             tour that'll be a lot more geographically friendly to
             DSARC members as well as ARA folks -- more news later.)

For info:    Write back to me at sefisher@domain.elided or see the URL
             posted above; it's got a FAQ that answers many of the
             questions I've been asked since I started this tour.
             Don't worry about registration or confirming or any
             of that -- if you want to join us, show up in Palo
             Alto on the 2nd around 9:30 and we'll leave for the
             hills around 10 AM.
