Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: mowog1 Date: October 03, 2017 08:17PM Have you visited the Tennessee Aviation Museum in Sevierville yet?

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: v8mgb Date: October 03, 2017 09:48PM I have not been there and am interested. How much time should be allotted to tour the museum? The trade off is the weather will be great and I want to take advantage of that.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: BlownMGB-V8 Date: October 04, 2017 10:14AM I found Wears Valley to be scenic but slow. Liked River Rd better, personally. Jim

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: MGBV8 Date: October 04, 2017 12:30PM [tnairmuseum.com] Maybe an hour or so, plus another hour for round trip travel.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: MGBV8 Date: October 04, 2017 12:34PM I'm with Jim B. I much prefer the Little River Road. I used to cut thru Wears Valley to get to Townsend years ago, but it is getting built up & full of slow traffic (not that the River Road is fast). I now take the long way around thru Knoxville & Maryville to get to Townsend in the same amount of travel time. Besides, I believe Phil said that he & Pam have to drive back to Nashville on Saturday.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: MGBV8 Date: October 04, 2017 12:42PM Take the Gatlinburg Bypass to skip over Gatlinburg. The Bypass will take you straight into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near the Sugarlands Visitor Center where the Little River Road begins. Follow it to Townsend.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: kstevusa Date: October 08, 2017 09:52AM Arrived home safe & DRY!. Great time and the cook out at Mickey's was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and great people. Parking was Tight, but all was accommodated. Food and drink was plentiful. Weather was also great with warm temps and no rain. Beautiful harvest moon over the valley. Missed some of our regulars, but life sometimes throws a curve. Look forward to seeing you all in Dayton at next V8 meet.

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: BlownMGB-V8 Date: October 08, 2017 02:12PM Got home about 1:00pm with mostly light rain all the way. Freeway speeds with the Roadmaster in the rain is not a comfortable experience but the trip was uneventful. Sorry to say this guys but nobody is going to be able to do an adequate job of describing the weekend to y'all. There was just too much going on. Sorta like you just had to be there. Jim

Re: Seventh Annual BritishV8 Fall Gathering - Townsend, TN - Oct. 5-8, 2017 Posted by: psmg Date: October 08, 2017 08:33PM Just got home. It rained from Knoxville to just outside Indy. Sunshine the rest of the way. Round trip, including 3 days of touring the area, totaled 1700 trouble free miles. Merv got his coil back, so we're back to even. We had a fantastic time as the previous posts so well described. Thanks again to Mickey and Janet for hosting a Great cook-out
