Leading the Pack_touring
« on: May 19, 2015, 15:09:05 »
Hi all,

My wife and I are living in the N.California wine country now and had our first opportunity to join a local car club tour.

Beautiful day, delightful people and a very enjoyable tour through some lovely countryside.

This is what owning a Pagoda is all about!

Regards,

Larry in CA

Hi Larry, Welcome to Nor Cal. I know the Napa-Sonoma area well and you couldn't ask for a better place to tool around in your Pagoda. A bit far for us to take ours but I would love to drive it up to Lake Berryesa from Napa and then over to Davis. If you ever want to venture over here to the Motherlode country, we could take a ride on some of the back roads that are in my neighborhood.

Great photos by the way. Best looking car in the group :)
