More Info..............
Don’t you want to see everything? Even the must dedicated single marquee enthusiast has their moments of wanting to be around other cars. Absolutely!!
Automotive passions just run deeper than a single marquee or even a single nationality. Variety is the spice of life.
The EuroSport Tour was created with this thought in mind. Imagine driving through scenic roads in Maryland and Pennsylvania with such automotive delicacies as Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Alfa Romeos,
Aston Martins and Lotus. Why not have a few beautiful Mercedes
or vintage BMWs along as well. Why not indeed?
The road is going to be graced with the automotive art of Europe. The mechanics of the dealership are going to present us with a Lotus Elise technical review. The group will head north on a spirited drive to wind up in historic Gettysburg, PA. Along the way we will be making several pit stops to take in the splendor of everyone’s cars and the beautiful fall scenery. Once in Gettysburg, we will meet up at the Eisenhower Resort for lunch at their Richard’s Restaurant and Lounge. Or simply hang out with fellow car enthusiasts and swap stories. The goal of the day is to enjoy everybody’s company and their cars.
Such an occasion should be about fellowship and not money. There is NO EVENT REGISTRATION COST. All event expenses will be paid by the participant as we go. We estimate that lunch will be around $18 a head. If one only wants to make the drive up and hang out, then this is fine by us and we would love to have you. For people wanting to have lunch with us, please send an email to lamboeast@yahoo.com to let us know you want to eat lunch. This will help us in organizing the event.
If you have any questions, please call Kevin Sims at 703-586-5136. Email is the best method of contacting me.
Let’s do our best to beautify the roads leading to Gettysburg, PA.

Weather was lousy early in the morning, but by the time we drove out it had cleared up. The roads dried out and the rest of the day was beautiful driving weather. Around 20 cars came along; mostly Porsche. The midpoint stop (pictured below) was in Middletown and we actually picked up an extra Ferrari there who'd noticed the gathering. The second leg had more traffic to deal with, plus some missed turns that scattered the group. The restaurant also decided to not wait for us and closed up before we got there, but there was still a small deli for sandwiches and plenty of parking lot socializing.
Thanks to Kevin for setting it up. I think this was mainly a test run for a larger event next year.
