DAWSON,

YOUR RIDE PLAN SOUNDS FANTASTIC!

I WOULD LIKE TO BOOK 2 SEATS IN YOUR ROLLS FOR 2 GREAT LOOKING WOMEN,
MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER.

THE LOTUS ONLY SEATS 2 AND I'M BRINGING 4.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW PLACE,

JOHN KENNER

Hi NOBBC Friends,

We will have a spectacular North Bay British Car Club ride this coming  
weekend. The ride falls on Saturday Feb 14th, and so we're having a  
St. Valentine's Day ride. I've just moved to a big new property on  
Mark West Springs Rd (directions below), with parking for 30 cars, so  
I'd like to make this a big ride and lots of fun in every way!

Because it's St. Valentine's Day, please bring friends, significant  
others, and/or family members! And to tempt them, we'll be having two  
fabulous stops. One is for strawberries, chocolate and wine at Kunde  
winery:

After Kunde, we'll go to the square in Sonoma, and buy lunch at the  
gourmet Sonoma Cheese Factory deli:

We'll meet at my house at 10:30 am for coffee and pastries. Also to  
take a gander my work-in-endless-progress 1974 Lotus Elite. That  
model's the concoction that resulted from some perverted engineer at  
Lotus deciding to mate the torso of a Ferrari Dino 308 with the arse  
of an AMC Gremlin. We'll depart at 11 am, and take the scenic route up  
Mark West, to Porter Creek, then south on Calistoga Rd to Route 12 to  
Kunde.

The weather forecast says a 30% chance of showers, with temperatures  
in the 50s. So we'll make sure there's plenty of enclosed transport  
for newcomers who might not appreciate the bracing experience of a top- 
down Triumph, Morgan or MG on a crisp winter's morning. We'll have my  
minivan and Rolls Royce for those who favor plush seats and climate  
control.

Also, I'd like to get a great photo of all the cars, so I'm going to  
request that everyone park in a semi circle. My driveway ends in a big  
circle where about 20 cars can park facing each other. Please park  
that way when you arrive. I'll hand out route maps.

Please print the attached certificate and bring it along so that we  
can have a private sit down tasting of ports and library wines in  
their Kinneybrook room:

So please forward this invitation to those with whom you'd like to  
share the NOBBC experience. Let's have a big turnout, get a great  
group photo, and share our fabulous club and cars with many other  
people!

Cheers,

Dawson
