Should any individual want to meet up, this is on their own and they should stay one car length apart, or two car lengths if driving a Mini Cooper.  As happened in our last meet up, grabbing a coffee and going for a drive is probably the safest alternative activity.

You can get coffee to go but sitting inside probably won't be an option.  We can visit outside as long as we keep a "social distance."  Perhaps it would be a good day for us to go for a short drive.  It looks like the weather will be nice.

The weather on Saturday looks to be cool, but dry, and I'd like to do bit of a drive after we get together.  Since Saturday the 19th is Armed Forces Day I suggest a meandering drive to Laurel to visit the Yellowstone National Cemetery.
 
BTW, Mark brought his freshly restored TR4 to our last meet up. It is beautiful.

Member John Baber would like as many who can to participate in the St. Johns Car Show:
 
St. John’s Lutheran Ministries, 3940 Rimrock Road.  Thursday, September 15th, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM.
 
It is a fun time at St. John’s.   Free meal and prizes.   Shelly Hoovestal is in charge of it and you will meet down by the chapel (building with cross on top) to line up.  First is a good meal in the building, then you will parade around the campus a couple of times so the residents in the different buildings can watch the cars go by.  After about three times, there will be a parking space in front of St. John’s driveway and the residents will want to walk by and look at the cars and talk to the owners.  A great afternoon and fun time with everyone.   Last year I did it and had a wonderful time.
 
If you can participate, please contact John: job59102@bresnan.net
 
-----
 
And, if you are going to be in the Rapid City area:
 
Remember the British Car Show at Main St. Square Alley on Sept. 11 1-4 pm.  If you can bring a car to the show the east alley will be open at Noon.  Please reply via phone or Email if you can attend or if you have any questions.

There is some talk about wanting to plan a Time and Distance Rally.  I think that those with experience in that area should form a committee and we can get it set up for our driving season.  This Saturday would be a good time start getting that organized.  It you can't make it Saturday but want to be involved with the planning, email me and I'll take care of that for you.
 
Also, Rick from the local muscle car club came by our last meet up and invited us to show up at their get togethers.  Here's his messge to our group:

This Saturday, October 4, 2014, being the first Saturday of the month, is the next scheduled meet up of the Northern Plains Vintage Foreign Car Club.  We'll be getting together at 9am at City Brew on the corner of 24th Street West and King Avenue, Billings.
 
During the Grape Stomp drive last weekend it was suggested that we do a drive and rolling poker run.  I like that idea and, since our nice weather days are likely numbered, let's do it this Saturday when the skies are supposed to be clear and the temperature in mid-70s..
 
We will have our regular meet up on Saturday and those who wish to go on the drive will leave at 10:45 am. 
 
The Route, from City Brew at King and 24th,
 
Go under the interstate on King and turn right on the South Frontage Road, AKA Old US Highway 10.
Stay on Old US Highway 10 through Laurel, Park City, and into Columbus.
In Columbus turn left on Highway 78 and follow it through Absarokee.
Stay on Highway 78 to Red Lodge.
In Red Lodge turn left on Highway 212 and then left at Red Lodge Ales.
 
The Stops
 
During the drive you will draw 5 cards, one at each of 5 different stops.  The stops are:
 
Laurel - Rotary Park, Birch Avenue & East Main Street
Park City - at the Cenex station next to I-90 Exit 426
Columbus - at the 307 Grill, the east intersection of Highway 78 and Old US Highway 10
Absarokee - at the Absarokee High School, south end of town on Highway 78
Red Lodge - at Red Lodge Ales on Highway 212

Whoever has the best hand after the last draw in Red Lodge wins.  There will be a prize.  There is no cost to enter.  To keep things on the up and up, a Certified Public Accountant will be traveling with me and be in charge of record keeping.

Unfortunately, the All Euro Car Show was cancelled due to the several days of rain we have been enduring.  That's disappointing but the organizers might/maybe will try to put something together in its place.

In the meantime, last week a bunch of us drove up to Beartooth Pass and had a great time.  You can check out some pictures on the Events Page.


Posted August 10, 2014

This coming Saturday, August 16, 2014, is our meet up day, however, we have a club drive planned so we won't be at our regular location. 

We will meet up at City Brew on the corner of 24th Street West and King Ave., Billings, at 8:30 am.  We will depart at 8:45 am and drive to Autozone in Laurel, next to the Walmart, for fluid topping and any other last minute detailing.  We will then drive to Rockvale and stop for breakfast.  About one hour later we will drive to Mark's cabin in Red Lodge.  After regrouping we will drive across the Beartooth Pass.  After a return we will enjoy our lunch back at Mark's.  We have been invited to camp overnight at Mark's.  Those who wish to drive back on Saturday will do so at a time to be determined.

It should be lots of fun.  If you are not a member, sign up, it's free, and it will get you on our mailing list and you will receive more detailed instructions.

Posted June 5, 2014

This Saturday, June 7, 2014, being the first Saturday of the month, is the next scheduled meet up of the Northern Plains Vintage Foreign Car Club. 

We will be doing something a bit different for this get together. 

We will rendezvous at City Brew on Main Street in Billings Heights at about 8:30 am, grab a cup of coffee, and then head out on a drive by 9 am.  The destination is beautiful downtown Shepherd, Montana.  We will travel by this route:

North on Main Street to Highway 312
East on Highway 312 to 12 Mile Road
North on 12 Mile Road for 20 feet and then east on Chicago Road
Chicago Road east to Shepherd Road
North on Shepherd Road to Carey Road
West on Carey Road (about 1,500 feet) to 5515 Carey Road (AKA Shepherd Acton Rd)
That is the Emmanuel Lutheran Church where we have permission to park in their lot (and I didn't even have to drop Mark Donald's name)

So, why a trip to Shepherd?  Well, we haven't driven there before and it's a nice distance for a shake-down drive to see what's loose and what leaks before we tackle longer drives this summer.

Another reason is that right across the street from the church is Carter's Camera Cottage, a new and used camera store that is having a swap meet on Saturday.  I plan to bring some of my old equipment to unload, I mean to enrich someone's photographic hobby, and will set up a table or tarp over there.  Here's the web site:

http://www.cameracottage.com/

When it's time to hit the road, I suggest continuing west on Shepherd Acton Rd (it's all paved) to Highway 87 (Roundup Road) and take it south back to Billings Heights.

Something else to think about, this summer, a Dutch Vintage Volvo Club is having a drive from Panama to Alaska and will go through Montana in early August.  It might be fun to meet up with them.  For more information:

The weather is supposed to be "brisk" with maybe a little bit of fresh snow overnight so bring your modern rides and let's see how everyone is doing watching their fun cars hibernating.

In case you are not aware of this, Jerry Seinfeld has a web-based TV show called "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."  The premise is pretty simple.  He picks up another comedian in some vintage car and they drive to a coffee shop, have coffee, and then drive back.  While it can be pretty funny, it's the cars that are of interest to us.  The new season has just started and in the trailer we get a glimpse or two of the car line up which includes a Volvo 1800.  You can see the trailer here along with the new episode:

Winter is upon us but we've still done a few meet ups.  Our December 7th one included a field trip to new club member Vern Ball's shop to see a couple of DeLoreans.  One, a reconstruction to match up with the film "Back to the Future," is a real work of art and technical wizardry.  Vern, the car, and his crew were featured in an article in the Billings Gazette.

In other news, and included in a recent emailing, Jeff sends along this information about a source of parts:

I've got the info on that guy in Indiana that has all the Beck-Arnley products, brand new for very reasonable prices!!!  Lots of hydraulics, etc.  His name is Wes Weaver, and his contact info is:

I just returned from a last minute road trip to central Wisconsin.  While there, I picked up a travel brochure on the "Yellowstone Trail" describing where it went through Wisconsin.  I was not familiar with this road and it turns out that the "trail" was the first attempt to have a transcontinental highway across the U.S. and predates the Lincoln Highway by a year.

Anyway you can read a quick history here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_Trail

and the association has a website here:

http://www.yellowstonetrail.org/

As it turns out, a portion of the trail ran through Montana, right through Billings, and one leg still bears the name "Yellowstone Trail."

Since we are into vintage cars, my suggested drive this Saturday is to retrace a portion of the vintage road in our area.  You can view a map here:

http://www.yellowstonetrail.org/id99.htm

I'll bring navigating instructions.

This coming Saturday, August 24th, 2013, we will be having a club drive.  We will meet up at the City Brew on King and 24th in Billings at 9:00 am.  We will leave by 9:15 am and drive, via Duck Creek and River Roads, to the Autozone in Laurel to meet up members who live out that way.  Let's plan to leave Laurel by 10 am.

The drive route will be to head out to Joliet, just like we did a few weeks ago when we made a run to Red Lodge.  Just past Joliet we will turn on Highway 421 and follow that to Columbus.  We will stop in Columbus for refreshing.

Detailed directions are here on the web site under the Club Drives link.  It is Drive #4.

A BIG APOLOGY to everyone who has tried to join up on our site in the past month or so and had difficulty doing so.  Your webmaster had overlooked something when some changes were made on the site which rendered the Join Page non-functional.  Think of it as reassembling an ignition system and trying to figure out why it won't start only to find you left the points out.

All is now well and if you want to join, you can do so through the Join link at the top of the page.  Those who gave me their information at the All Euro Car Show, I will sign you up and send you an email with the log in information.

A big thanks goes out to the Absaroka Porsche Club for another great All Euro Car Show.  We had a good turnout from our own club and it appeared that everyone had agreat time enjoyed the new venue.  Pictures are on the Events page.

This coming Saturday, August 3, 2013, is our meet up day, however, we have a club drive planned so we won't be at our regular location. 

We will meet up at City Brew on the corner of 24th Street West and King Ave., Billings, at 8:30 am.  We will depart at 8:45 am and drive to Autozone in Laurel, next to the Walmart, for fluid topping and any other last minute detailing.  We will then drive to Rockvale and stop for breakfast.  About one hour later we will drive to Mark's cabin in Red Lodge.  After regrouping we will drive across the Beartooth Pass.  After a return we will enjoy our lunch back at Mark's.  We have been invited to camp overnight at Mark's.  Those who wish to drive back on Saturday will do so at a time to be determined.

It should be lots of fun.  If you are not a member, sign up, it's free, and it will get you on our mailing list and you will receive more detailed instructions.

A big shoutout to Autozone in Laurel who hosted our latest meetup.  We had a fantastic time and Autozone was very generous with hats, door prizes, and lunch.

Prizes were won by Arthur, Vince, and Joel and featured a nice wash bucket with all kinds of car maintenance supplies in it.  We're wondering which Triumph Arthur will be using his new R134 recharge kit on.

Be sure to check out the rest of the photos on the Events page.

Today's meet up is hosted at Expert Tire in downtown Billings.

Winter has slipped away and we are now into "Car Season."  Our meetup today was well-attended.  You can find some photos on our Events Page.

Winter has finally left town and it's time to get back to turning a wrench and driving.  Just a quick review of our last few meetups:  We did continue to meet in February, March, and April and the turnouts have been pretty good. The weather has been generally dry but a working heater has been an advantage on a few of those Saturday monrings.

In upcoming news, our meetups in May will not be at the City Brews.  On Saturday, May 4th, we will be meeting at 9:00 am at the American Legion Hall on Broadwater Ave. between 15th and 16th Streets West.  Bring a few bucks for breakfast.  We did this last January and those who attended can tell you that we had a great time.

On Saturday, May 18th, we will be meet at 9:00 am at Expert Tire, 3016 1st Ave. N.  That's downtown Billings across from Pug Mahons.  Rod, the manager of Expert Tire, will provide coffee and donuts and we'll park our cars in and around his lot for a bit of a show.  Weather premitting, there will be the opportunity for a drive afterwards so gas up and pack your tools.

Thanks to Vinnie's F's suggestion, we convened our meeting at the American Legion on Broadwater and had a great visit and a fine breakfast.  While the was a bit of a chill in the air, that didn't keep most of the classic cars at home.

We had our last meetup of the year today and had a pretty good turnout considering the light dusting of snow we had overnight.  And we want to welcome our newest members who happened upon at City Brew, Mickey and Heidi.  They are visiting from South Dakota and are members of the Blackhills Classicsportscar Club, a group that is very similar to our own.  They have a Facebook page here.

After our meetup a few of us went over to Mark R's place and got a tour of his man cave.  He's restoring an elderly John Deere tractor and gave us a bit of a tech session on sheetmetal straightening and welding.  Thanks, Mark.

When the cars start showing up with their tops down on the 1st of December we know we are pretty lucky.  A nice turn out today.  Let's hope the weather stays mild and gives us a few more nice driving days.


Posted November 17, 2012

We enjoyed a nice meetup with what can only be characterized as "great" weather for this time of year.  There are some pictures and a write up on the day's drive on the Events page.

Our web site is undergoing some more upgrades.  The most noticible is what you are seeing here.  The front page will have the latest updates and the general information about the club will be found above, under the "About" link.

Other changes include an upgrade to the "Events" page.  Most of the work happened behind the scenes with features that will make that page easier to update.  Also, it now allows for the inclusion of videos in addition to the pictures.

If you look to the right, you'll see a link to "Club Drives."  This will be a growing list of suggested routes to take in our area.  This page features a video fly-over of the route and a printable set of driving instructions.

Another feature is the ability to print out a sign for your car.  You can do this from your Member Site Administration Page after you login.  You select your car and a new page will open, suitable for printing, that has the club information on it along with the year, make, and model of the selected car and your name and city.  These would look great displayed on our cars when we have our meetups.

We had a great meeting at City Brew.  About a dozen cars showed up including the yellow 1972 Ferrari and two Jaguar E-types.  While standing around in the parking lot, someone saw an Austin-Healey speed by on King Ave.  They need to join the gang.

After kicking tires we did a drive out westward, up and over Buffalo Trail Road, with a return trip on Molt Road.

Pictures and a short video are in the Events area.  Just click the link in the menu bar.
