What area do your deem local? I ask as you have never tried my mother-in-law's shoe-fly pie!!!

I'm up in the Allentown area periodically, depending if there are any LVMOC (local Miata club) cruises on weekends that I'm not covering any automotive events (freelance photographer). I was going to be up there on Sept 15 for their wine cruise but I'll be in DC that weekend.

That's cool....I never heard of the club or their cruises. Perhaps they wouldn't mind a wagon bringing up the rear? :) I might be able to convince my mom-in-law to bake a shoe-fly pie!!!

Yeah, there's usually 1 or 2 non-Miatas in the cruises, generally an ex Miata owner or someone with a Miata that isn't running lol

You can spot a Volvo S40 in the right column, 4th from the back. (wink)

I haven't been able to attend any of the cruises over the last 2 months and won't attend the next three due to my photography schedule. Any weekends I'm not out shooting, I'm usually down in Virginia. They have a wine cruise this weekend, a cruise out in Bloomsberg the 23rd, then another wine cruise on 9/30 and the fall foliage cruise Oct 6. I can't make any of those :(
