I think this was reported earlier, but just in case: There will be a hillclimb held nearby on the weekend of our gathering. If anyone's interested: [svra.com]

I got an e-mail from Jim "Tater" Watson....he and Melinda are hoping to come, and he's let the new owner of POTATO know about The Gathering.

:( Laurance and I aren't going to make it for this visit. We hate to cancel but we're looking forward to the next lie swapping and tire kicking event. Please give us a rain check. And keep us posted on events and hotrods. Until next time, Laurance & Casey

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017
Regretfully I will not be able to attend the BritishV8 Fall Gathering. Too many obligations, too little time. I am sure it will be a great event; I will be shooting for next years gathering. Chris Lindh

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017
We're still on Mickey............third try is the charm. Flying to Nashville Wednesday morning. Two previous attempts to come to Tennessee had to be cancelled. Normally the fall colours here would be well under way but an unusually year here and the leaves are just beginning to turn. 90*F today (felt like 96*) and 87*F tomorrow.

Up here in Northeast TN, the peak is usually right around the the third week of October. Just got back from a mini-beach trip at midnight last night to a yard & driveway covered in leaves.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017
I hope to make it for at least one day. My "215" 74.5 BGT is running pretty well right now. It just does not like the higher altitudes. It runs a bit rich at 3000 ft. I am playing with some carb needles to see if I can make it cleaner.
