Polar Bear Run (?)
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:11:08 pm »
I found the following on the Georgia Triumph Association website. They normally hold the annual Polar Bear Run, so I think this is taking it's place this year...

Drive ! Mircros in Madison, The Farewell Tour
When: Saturday, Dec 29, 2012
Where: Madison, Georgia
Description: Join all of our motoring friends to close out the year by going on a fabulous drive to Madison Georgia. The day will wind up at the Micro Car Museum that is loved by all. We will say goodbye to 2012 and to the museum which is closing for good. Dont miss this final opportunity to see some of those other "Little Cars".
Date: 12/29/2012
Time: 9:00 AM AM meeting, 10:00AM departure
Starting location: 1525 E. Park Place Boulevard, Stone Mountain 30087 (At Hardee's & The Outback Steakhouse).
Drive to Madison for lunch and shopping. At 1:30- 2:00 PM we'll leave for the Microcar Museum for seeing the small cars before they get sold off in February.

Bump for the Club.
Several of us went on the Polar Bear Run and had a lot of fun with that group.
I've seen some photos of the Micro Car Museum but haven't been there personally.

This sounds like a good event to attend. Thanks for the heads-up on it!

Could this be a 'caravan' trip?

I imagine that it's going to be just like previous Polar Bear Runs. All the cars will meet at the designated starting point and be given directions to follow (sort-of like Run For The Hills). The Triumph Association normally picks a very good rout between the start and the destination. But it's not a "run", just a leisurely drive, and lots of fun.
And since you know the destination, you can put it in your GPS in case you get lost. But it's more fun to drive with all the other little cars.

The Microcar Museum is incredible!  I've only been there once, but if I have any chance of joining the Polar Bear group for this trip, I am THERE!

I'm also pre-registered for the Feb auction!  Uh-oh.... don't let Mrs. Chevelle know that!

It sure was a lot of fun (I think it was last year)! The Don had a broken fan belt on the way to the start (BOO!) but had a nice fellow stop and help. I wound up running with 3 different packs and ended with a group of 2 MG's and we had a BLAST! One of the guys told me at Helen that he was sorry if they held me up. No way I said. They are a group of folks just like us, out to have fun!
But in Helen, I REFUSE to pay $4 for a pretzel and $10 for a beer. I'll bring my own like the rest of them next time.

Yes, we really regretted missing out on last year's run.
I think I can motivate my Duchess to go on this year's run.
Just shows that you should stay away from 84s ;D

I'm going. 

Don't forget, we have the club car for use by any dues paying member and I may also have the 86 available, too.  Plus I have an empty seat for a ride along, but would prefer someone meet me out in the Lawrenceville area if they want to ride along with me since I'll be coming back on a more easterly path. 

Rain is forecast for the day.

Sure thing! Were you headed to the Arby's in Stone Mtn.?
I told Fiero GTB that's where I would meet him.

Convoy sounds great!

Where could we meet with Fierofool?

Topnotch, are you and GrannyLinda going?
