We have mapped out a great route for the Driving Tour on July 5!  Looks like 
we've already got as many people as we expected, or more, signed up. 


This called for numerous experimental trips and route adjustments and 
refinements, and I can tell you, the CHiP and some of the local police are 
already out there practicing, too, so please, be aware of this when you visit 
CA.

I guarantee those who join the Tour will have a great time even if they do 
not exceed the posted speed limits.  But you decide: what is more fun to you: 
pulling smartly through the twisties, heel and toe, grabbing the right gear 
and drifting around a sweeper at precisely the right speed on scenic and 
challenging mountain roads with the Alfa humming along and sticking like 
glue... or doing 20 mph over the posted limit on a huge straight freeway 
where you can pretty much lash the wheel and not much driving is required?

There is also a track day for those who require a little bit more adrenaline 
to go with their brio.
