Recently the Club moved it’s monthly social evening on the first Tuesday of every month to the El Chaparal Golf and Country Club in Mijas Costa in order to accommodate the increasing membership and to provide the members with a large car park to show off their pride possessions. The club meets every month to exchange information on forthcoming events and a brief rundown on the following Saturday’s monthly Club run. The March run, organized by two of the members, started of from the Hotel de Cine outside Coin after a breakfast much enjoyed by all. The weather smiled on thirty-two cars and the sixty-four members that had turned out for the day. The numbers included several new members that had turned out for the first time. One of the new lady members was heard to say that she had pleasantly surprised as she had not expected such a large turn out of other ladies but had anticipated mostly men interested in things mechanical. She further added that she had met very friendly people all out to enjoy a well organized outing. Bob Livermore and his wife Carol had earlier in the week produced an instruction listing indicating the planned route pointing out the various landmarks and giving extensive guidance to everyone who may not know the roads selected. One of the delights of the Club is that members attempt to select roads that pass through the spectacular scenery and are usually off the beaten track. One member recently remarked that he had lived in the area but had not known of the existence of several beautiful locations right on his doorstep, having always used the main roads. The older Classics moved out first in small numbers of two and three with a short interval between each batch followed by more recent Classics. There were on Saturday Jaguars, Austin Healeys, Triumph’s several Porches and Bentley’s all turned out in their weekend best polish. From Coin the cars headed out towards Alozaine via a small country road much to the delight of the participants. A moment of nervousness was experienced by some of the bigger cars as the road narrowed at a few locations. From Alozaine cars headed out through Yunquera onwards to El Burgo passing the most spectacular scenery this part of Andalusia has to offer. The driving pleasure was heightened by the fact that very little traffic was encountered on route, in fact the only cars visible in the far distance were other Club members vehicles. From El Burgo onwards the road opens to a substantial highway ideal for the higher powered sports cars within the Club. The selected route gave an opportunity for all types of vehicles to come into their own. The public encountered in the small villages enjoyed the sight of our cars with much waving and thumbs-up signs. It appears that Classics are appreciated here in Spain The run ended with lunch at The Ranco el Mirador outside Teba where our hosts had organized an outdoor meal to end the day. The next SOL Classic Car Club meeting is on the 1st April 2008 at the El Chaparal Golf and Country Club in Mijas Costa at 19.30 with a run planned for the 5th April 2008.
