made it to our annual picnic—the weather was great, we had plenty of good food, lots of GTOs
and some new faces as well as some we haven’t seen in a while. There’s nothing like a car cruise or special event like the picnic to bring everyone
together!
Can you believe that the summer is almost over? Where did the time go? Seems like just the other day that we were taking the car covers off and changing oil to get ready for
the season.
There’s still plenty of activities left on the calendar though. Our September event, “Hubcaps & History” on Marietta Square should be lots of fun (and have secure parking). Chapter member Bo Dunn is running the “Holy Smoke BBQ and Car Show” (see pg.4), and there are other charity events
happening this month around
town.
How about a nice fall cruise to
enjoy the cool weather and North Georgia colors? Be sure to sign up for our October event—the Tale Of The Dragon cruise/
overnighter.
As Meetings VP Mike Walling mentioned at the picnic, the main hotel, Fontana Resort, is now sold out. There are alternate hotels nearby with the Microtel being the closest, and at a reasonable cost. We hope you
can join us.

Interested in having your car used in movie making?
You can place your car in a registry at
“movietimecars.com”. Some sites want you to pay for a
listing but this site is free. Show your vehicle at no
charge and maybe make a few dollars.
You could become famous, like Ed Bellair !!! His car was
used in a film recently as was
a car owned by a Dixie Buick Club member.
GTO Parts & Services Sources Thank You to Jeremiah Riggio, Bob Mohalley, and Jim Racela for tracking down some useful on-line sources for GTO parts and services. Hopefully these will prove useful to you in keeping your GTO looking like a proper time machine!
