The following message was sent to some of you, but not all.
Sorry for
the confusion, but in this message is improved instructions for
getting to
the location. It is suggested that you plan a little extra time
for finding this
location because of the construction in the area.
John, everybody else: This is to announce that there will
be a
tour/meeting at the Bugatti Restoration shop on the 21st Nov starting
at
10:00 AM. If the weather is good then we might have a short meeting
in the
parking lot beforehand along with a quick swap/sale/giveaway as
well. If
the weather is bad then we should just run inside and start the
tour.
Good weather = come early; Bad = get there at 10:00 and run inside!
This
is where we are going:

This shop restores classic sports and race cars from
the 20's through
the 70's. Of particular interest is that they are currently in
the
process of machining a Type 57 cylinder block casting into a new
replacement. As these were made in one complete piece from head
to
crankcase some of the processes are quite challenging. They do
complete
restorations on these cars including chassis and running gear,driveline,
and bodywork. They were located in Boulder until about 10 years
ago when
they moved to the present location:
601 1st street Berthoud CO. This is north of the main
E-W street
through Berthoud (CO 15) and one block west of Highway 287 (Not
the
Bypass!) going north out of Berthoud. Note that this intersection
is
under reconstruction and is a total mess!
From I25 take the Berthoud exit and follow highway 8 west
to the
intersection (mess) with 287 and one block further to the stop
sign.
Turn north on 2nd street. and go 1 block to Turner Rd. Go 1 short
block
east and turn south past the shop selling propane. The grey building
is
High Mountain Classics! If you get lost then call the shop!
Coming from the west proceed through Berthoud from 287
on 56
through town to the stop sign one block before the intersection
with 287 (mess).
Turn north on 2nd street and go north on block to Turner Rd. Turn
east
and go one short block before turning south at the propane shop.
South
to the grey building and park!
See you there! Bill in Boulder
