1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene.

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring.

The Volunteer Gap: Thoughts on Why Car Clubs Are Struggling to Fill Leadership Roles, and What to Do About It
With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history.

Welcome over to our website! First, I want to thank you for posting this great event. I truly enjoyed our talk the other day and very pleased we can stay connected here on the site. I can only guess about the "World's Fasted Clown"? Last year I was Santa in my 356 for the parade, but not very fast :-)
We are pleased to help bring a broader awareness about your driving event with the Minis. I already have it out on Facebook. I know its likely too late, but if possible, please get as many friends and participants as possible to RSVP on your event page (it has its own URL) and this helps us in increasing rankings on Facebook and major search engines. Also, please announce our site at the driving experience itself and have your happy participants post photos and stories, this helps promote Minis and your next event, as well.
I am looking forward to some great photos (and maybe videos) of your collection of Minis (Wow), as well as some of the various other vehicles you favor, and events you enjoy, too. We want as many photos as we can get. We can upload 100 at a time! (You may have heard that we are collecting One Million photos of cars, truck and cycles! Please announce this at your drive!) Also, it is good to write about your "wheels" adventures and racing, on the blog, as we all enjoy stories from our members.
As you can see, one of the real strengths of our website is the feature that any member can add events whenever they find one that we have overlooked! You do not have to "submit" through emails or the postal service, etc.
Please invite your family and friends as this helps the site grow and improves your social network communications. If I can help at all with any of your projects, call me at 770-883-0160.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
