by Stuart Light I always enjoy the early morning drive to the annual Queens County Farmhouse Meet. Like many years in the past it was a little nippy when I put the top down on my Alfa Romeo Guilia Spider and drove out if the driveway at 7:15AM towards the Little Neck, location of the […]
Now You Have Done It!

Actually, Howard Kroplick, our dynamic speaker at last month’s meeting, gave our next event a jump start.

What the Club is Doing This Year
