solder_guy Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ok .. gotta try that restaurant .. This past Saturday, they closed Peachtree Street for a parade of classic cars that parked in front of the museum. It was great watching all these vintage cars drive down the street and park. The route was mobbed! Of course I drove the Rotus down the street about 15 minutes before the parade and many people waved .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
