Mustang fundraiser driving event
Hey all! Been a resident of the north GA area since August and have discovered some great back roads that lead to some cool little towns. Taking a poll to see if any Mustang owners would be interested in doing a 'pony drive' from north Cumming, GA to Dahlonega, GA on a Saturday in May. Thoughts are to get up there by noon, park the Stangs near or on the main street of the town and we all have lunch.
This 'pony drive' would have traffic control provided by local and county police at traffic lights only. There would be a cost involved as it will be a fund raiser. Local merchants will be sponsors and there will be trophies for 'best of' categories. Will even work on obtaining discounts for the dining in Dahlonega.
I have mucho experience in events like this, was founder and president of a Mustang club for 7 years, hosted two Mustang Club of America national shows that drew 500 plus in 2010 and 375 in 2013.
Have organized and hosted 6 regional pony runs that draw an average of 200 plus Mustangs and hosted major benefits that have drawn over 300 cars (of all makes).
Looking to make this an annual event. I see a lot of Mustangs from the extreme N. GA area all the way down to Buckhead. No reason why we can't pull 100 or more the first time! Just looking for feedback regarding interest levels. Thanks!

With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future. Although its styling retained many traditional elements, including an upright grille, separate fenders, and rear-hinged front…
