Nondezvous June, 2002

By the Editor

Due to the ICCCR event in Amherst, MA there was no "official" Rendezvous this year. Instead, the Mid-Summer's Nondezvous was held at the home of Richard Stanman and Susan Rider in Van Nuys. The day was temperate and not overly sunny- just right for an outdoor buffet. The caterering company did a great job, though one would not know it since Pete and Allan ate almost all the shrimp and guacamole by themselves.

A lovely variety of cars appeared including an Ami 6, several 2 CVs both Truckettes and sedans, CX sedan and Break, Traction Commerciale, D sedans and Breaks. Nondezvous participants drove from Riverside County, Laguna Beach, Long Beach, Sunland and Irwindale. Several cars at Nondezvous were being prepared to participate in the Mad Dash or the Tracbar trips. In particular the Traction Commerciale appeared 19 days later at the Tracbar kickoff party wearing new paint and a rear new fender.

People's Choice winner was James Moors with the Ami 6 sedan. This car started out as a wrecking yard special, and over the years James transformed it bit by bit.

Everyone had a good time, except Bob Henry whose car keys vanished half way thtough the evetn. The writer has had a similar experience and I know that after the keys were missing I couldn't think about anything else. At least it wasn't the wallet.
