Great day for the British car show in Mills River.

All the activities that take place this time of year point to the fact that our area has a lot of active car clubs. GSMR/LDC as an AACA Region, covers greater Hendersonville to greater Forest City; Carolina Mountains Club focuses on Henderson County and surroundings; Transylvania Cruisers is active in Brevard and Transylvania. We all share a common interest and enjoy each others’ company. Since members of each club often participate in the others’ activities, we try to include surrounding activities in our coverage. July was no exception with TCCC’s big 4th event in downtown Brevard, LDC’s Garage and Vineyard Tour (pictured) and of course, GSMR’s shows and meetings.

Enjoy the journey. For more, go to gsmr.club.

It was a hot July 23rd but a cool place for a tour at Parker-Binns Vineyard in Mill Springs. Cory Lillberg was a great host and the staff was super which included his mother and grandmother. This is a family owned business spanning 3 generations. Their passion for wine making and hospitality, along with the beautiful setting made for a fun tour.

What a beautiful day for garage tour to the Brevard area to view Tom Loftfield collection of Buick and Ford Model T. He even cranked one up for us then Tom led us to His friend Max Larson collection of Model T and an assortment of late 20s early 30s automobiles. Thank you Tom and Max for sharing your collections with us.

On the second leg of our garage tour this Saturday we went to Budget Motors for a garage tour "American Pickers" style. David Brown is closing his car lot after 47 years in the car business and is selling almost all of the contents in the building. Folks found a number of "gems" to buy including air tanks, hubcaps and collectibles. Tons of stuff still left to sell including jacks, stands, Camaro parts etc. If interested in seeing what David has to sell contact him at 828-693-4297.
