Not sure if any of the B&Bs would offer a group rate or not. I defer that part of the planning to my wife...she's found a different place this year so perhaps I'll have her call around and make a few inquiries.

We will all be parking in the parking lot. Probably meet at McDonald's about 1/2 mile away so that we cvan all drive in and park together.
Regards,

Room booked...see everyone in a couple of weeks. Coming in Friday afternoon. We're planning on joining in for the wine tasting on Sat afternoon, so perhaps dinner after?

Absolutely good for dinner. We can make arrangements that day. There are a couple of BYOBs so the wine tasting can continue.

OK, Folks, the doors open at 9:00 AM. I always find that it is best to show up as soon as the doors open, both for better parking and because you get to see some of the the cars roll in (and its always best to see cars rolling, rather than sitting). The parking lot is often as good a show as the show itself.
We will meet at the McDonald's in New Hope,
<b>McDonald's</b> (<b>New</b> <b>Hope</b>) 324 W Bridge St <b>New</b> <b>Hope</b>, <b>PA</b> 18938
at 8:00 AM for breakfast, roll out about 8:50 or so (it's only 1/2 mile from the car show).
Please feel free to join us, or meet up with us later at the car show (usually about 2-3 hours of walking and standing around talking cars). We'll hit someplace for lunch afterward, depending on how many show and how crowded New Hope gets. (Triumph Brewery is always fun).
Several of my other car friends will be coming too. Lotus Elise that was there last year and my friend who just finished an 800 HP SC Corvette (wish Flash could see this Crate Motor 427 with SC).
Admission to the show is $5.00 per person, just so no one thinks I'm scamming or ripping you off. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]
Send me an e-mail or PM if I can help with accomodations etc. If you are planning a hotel make reservations SOON!

Spin,
Thanks for the pic, and to your intrepid photographer.
Had a really terrific weekend doing what we do best. Driving and taliking cars, wine tasting, great food and the kind of friends that last for a lifetime.
I will post a few pics later, but thanks to everyone who made it.
