Baltimore/DC/NoVa Meet and Drive, 10:00 AM, Sunday, March 28

It’s time to blow out those winter doldrums and welcome spring with the Baltimore/DC/NoVa Rennlist meet and drive! Your calendars should already be marked for this since we postponed the Leap Year Meet and Drive. Always wanted to put a face to a person’s Rennlist user name? Now’s the chance. Always thought that everyone’s car was perfect except for yours? Come to the Rennlist meet and drive and you’ll see that your sled ain’t so bad. The date is Sunday, March 28, 10:00 AM, where we’ll meet at the Super Fresh at the corner of Montgomery Rd. and Washington Blvd. in Elkridge, MD (7280 Montgomery Rd., 410-379-0028). This location is on the west side of Baltimore.

The plan is to check out the cars and shoot the breeze for an hour and a half or so and then take a drive through the beautiful and incredibly twisty roads on the west side of Baltimore. Our final destination will be historic Ellicott City and an Atkins-diet bustin’ lunch at La Palapa, a fine and lively Mexican restaurant olcated in the heart of charming Ellicot City. No, La Palapa is not the sound your food makes as it hits the plate; it’s Spanish for “last one to the restaurant pays everyone’s bill”. (8307 Main Street Ellicott City, Maryland 21043, 410-465-0070, http://www.lapalapagrill.com . Don’t be dissuaded by the photos that make the place look like a punk-ass dance bar; it’s supposed to be a good establishment.)

Directions to the Super Fresh: Take I-95 north or south, depending on where you’re coming from, to the BWI Airport exit, exit #47. Do not go to UMBC or the park-and-ride; instead, follow the off ramp and head towards BWI to 195 (one-ninety-five, not eye-ninety-five). Take the Elkridge/Rt 1/Washington Blvd exit. Make a right off of the exit onto Washington Blvd. You will be heading southwest. Go past the Amoco station on your right, up the the steep hill, and past Daniel’s Tavern. After 1.4 miles, you’ll see Montgomery Rd. and an Exxon station on the right. Keep on going another 100 yards and make a right into the Super Fresh lot.

If you’re interested in coming for all or part of the event, please post here so I can get a rough head count for our eating place. Of course, all P-cars are welcome.

Looking forward to seeing all of you and to immersing ourselves in cars!

Never got together with this group before, but might be an opportunity to make more friends
