Past Events:
The September meeting was held on Tuesday the 16th at Fricano's Pizza on Alpine. It was supposed to be a nice quiet evening with Corvairs parked together, members talking and kicking tires, since the busy Fricano's Tuesday Cruise Nights were over. Well just the opposite happened, the place was packed! When I arrived, a parking spot was nowhere to be found until you hit the next business North! It turned out the Tuesday Cruise Night continued past what was posted on their web site. Corvairs were parked where ever you could find a spot. Rob and Linda Van Sledright, Keith Vander Pol and Jack Ridderman somehow landed a front row spots! How do they do that? Corvairs that deserve honorable mention, Bill Wright's 66 Vert., Dave Ziebarth's 65 Evening Orchid Vert., Jack Ridderman's Rampside and Keith Vander Pol's 64 Vert. By the way, Keith is looking to sell his 64 Convertible, dark blue with white top and light blue interior, if interested contact Keith, it's a nice car! One special arrival was in the back of Jack Ridderman's Rampside! Steve Ridderman recently purchased a 60's vintage Sears single cylinder motor cycle just like he had growing up. Jack remembers Steve ridding that motor cycle all over and thought it would be the death of him! After looking at cars, we headed in for pizza and suds. Attendees included, Wright, Ziebarth and family, Strobe, Koning, Lectka, J. Ridderman, S. Ridderman, R. and C. Counterman, Teppo, Adams and family, Metcalf, R. and L. Van Sledright, Gruetzmacher, R. and A. Keller, and Vander Pol.

I'm still looking for pictures of the car display and the Corvair Olympics to put on the web site. Send them to wmcc@corvair.org and I will post them. Thanks.
03/10/08 Xmas Party!! Well sort of. The only thing Christmasy about it was the fresh layer of snow we got the night before. Click here to read the article and see the pictures!
Dan Konkle recently took a trip out west in his 1965 Monza Coupe affectionately known as Ratso which included a drive up to Pikes Peak. That trip is chronicled here.
