Re: IML: Imperial Club

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm in Petaluma, California. If I drive the 630 miles to Bakersfield 
and back at around 12 MPG in my 67 Imperial convertible that will use about 
53 gallons of gas at $3.50 a gallon ends up costing me $185.00.  I'd love to 
show off my car but that's a long haul!
Do they ever have a meet in N. California?
