NUTS & BOLTS Volume 2, Issue 10 October 2016 Welcome back returning club members! Inside this issue: New venue for breakfast on Thursdays Woman s luncheon canceled new date TBD November 5 th Car Show and our valued sponsors These are a few of my favorite links (next month) When cut-a-ways roamed the earth Resurgence of Wednesday McDonald s cruise-in. See below. And inside. Rising out of the ashes of Summer, the McDonalds Wednesday Cruise-In is alive and well. Strongest showing at McDonalds since the summer heat sent everyone packing. Dust your car off and join us every Wednesday at 5PM at 99 th and Bell. As usual there is the lure of infinitely refilled free soft drinks and soft serve cones but the greatest perk is spending quality time talking cars with our great car guys. New friends and potential new club members can happen each week. Most important, there are always cars that are new (to me) to admire and dream of extra garage space. Somewhere later in the issue, are many photos from last week s event. Your car could be a star!

When I was a kid in Brooklyn, I loved finding a book in the local library with cut-away pictures. It could be a ship or a locomotive, as long as it had semi-transparent pages that once turned revealed more and more of the specific hardware s innards. On the next few pages are some of my favorites. I had to resort to this due to NO submissions to the newsletter this month. Sorry about all the Porsches. Ferrari Modena 360 Spider.
