EuroSport '06 Driving Tour
Sunday,OCT. 1st, 2006
(Sept. 24 date was rained out)

If interested or want more info, contact Kevin at lamboeast@yahoo.com or call him at 703-586-5136. NO EVENT REGISTATION COST. Just Arrive & Drive. We will meet at the Eisenhower Resort for brunch around 11:30am. Lunch will be paid for by the event participant.
More Info..............
Don’t you want to see everything? Even the must dedicated single marquee enthusiast has their moments of wanting to be around other cars. Absolutely!!
Automotive passions just run deeper than a single marquee or even a single nationality. Variety is the spice of life.
The EuroSport Tour was created with this thought in mind. Imagine driving through scenic roads in Maryland and Pennsylvania with such automotive delicacies as Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Alfa Romeos,
Aston Martins and Lotus. Why not have a few beautiful Mercedes
or vintage BMWs along as well. Why not indeed?
The road is going to be graced with the automotive art of Europe. The mechanics of the dealership are going to present us with a Lotus Elise technical review. The group will head north on a spirited drive to wind up in historic Gettysburg, PA. Along the way we will be making several pit stops to take in the splendor of everyone’s cars and the beautiful fall scenery. Once in Gettysburg, we will meet up at the Eisenhower Resort for lunch at their Richard’s Restaurant and Lounge. Or simply hang out with fellow car enthusiasts and swap stories. The goal of the day is to enjoy everybody’s company and their cars.
Such an occasion should be about fellowship and not money. There is NO EVENT REGISTRATION COST. All event expenses will be paid by the participant as we go. We estimate that lunch will be around $18 a head. If one only wants to make the drive up and hang out, then this is fine by us and we would love to have you. For people wanting to have lunch with us, please send an email to lamboeast@yahoo.com to let us know you want to eat lunch. This will help us in organizing the event.
If you have any questions, please call Kevin Sims at 703-586-5136. Email is the best method of contacting me.
Let’s do our best to beautify the roads leading to Gettysburg, PA.

88' Carrera from Dorkiphus Board in the DC area had this to say about the tour route:
If you couldn't attend this event (on Sept 24th) then you missed out on a fun time.
This is the reason I bought my Porsche--HARD--I MEAN HARD driving through twist and turns.
It would have been fun to see some other european cars, but they had their resale values at stake with the off and on rain sprinkles. (It was nearly all Porsche except for one Alfa Romeo and one Viper).

Had a very nice time with the group today. Thanks for a nice route. A nice mix of Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus. A manageable number as well. No mishaps that I could see. And very little "my car is better than your car" mud slinging, which was very refreshing.
Wish I had pictures, but I didn't have my camera. There *were*, however, a lot of cameras out there so I'm sure some will make it here.
