Hello All:

As some of you may have noticed, I recently bought a 1967 Volvo 122S wagon and I live in a suburb just north of New York City. With my first Volvo-owner spring coming I thought it might be fun to plan an outing, perhaps at the Rockaways or some other park or beach where Amazon folks in the area could meet and greet, compare tips, see who has what in terms of tools, manuals, etc. and just get to know each other better. I know my wife and girls would really like to meet other people who spend too much time caring for the world's greatest cars.

Any takers? Suggestions for dates and locations would be most welcome, as would anyone from outside the New York City area who would just like to take a nice drive and meet similarly-minded lunatics.

A few places that I thought might be worth meeting are:

Coney Island
The Far Rockaways
Bear Mountain
One of the beautiful overlooks on the Palisades in New Jersey
Stone Farm at Blue Hills up in Westchester County
Flushing Meadows Park in Queens
The Botanical Gardens in the Bronx

Cheers,

Jeff Pucillo
