    Possible Meet Location/Dates - Simeone Automotive Museum

    Hey -

    I finally visited the Simeone Automotive Museum just south of Philly today:

    http://simeonemuseum.org/

    It's incredible.

    I was thinking that it would be a great place to have a meet.

    They welcome car clubs and groups.

    Some upcoming "Demonstration Driving Days" (when the start and drive the cars in the large back parking lot) are:

    http://simeonemuseum.org/events/2012...nstration-days

    I want to go to the October 26 Driving day!
    SOLD '03 300A Black - "805" of 7838
    Plate - "EVILMERC"

    I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

    Gillom Rogers: [Books is giving Gillom a shooting lesson] Mr. Books, How is it you've killed so many men? My spread wasn't much bigger than yours.
    John Bernard Books: First of all,friend, there's no one up there shooting back at you. Second, I found most men aren't willing, they bat an eye, or draw a breath before they shoot. I won't.

    A friend of mine works there. He's one of the lucky ones who gets to drive the cars around. Maybe I should call him to get more details, and to ask if they would welcome some Marauders in the parking lot.

    It's a great museum, I've been there three times.
    If you ever have a long layover in Philly, it's just a short cab ride from the airport.

    Yes...I spoke to my friend about having a group of Marauders at the museum in October when the Daytona Coupe will be featured. The museum is very interested in car club participation, and will provide select parking for us if we preregister. There is also on-site catering available for groups, including buffet dinner.

    I will follow up with the event director to get all the details, including ticket prices. This is an outstanding opportunity to have a great time at a class location.
