Breakfast Run to Paul’s Kitchen

On Saturday, August 18, Club President, Jim Wilson, organized another one of his patented “breakfast runs.” These destination fun drives are plotted into the Florida interior over back roads, which to most club members, are only vaguely familiar or else completely unknown. Jim always manages to find routes combining both curves to exercise your suspension and straightaways to flush out your carburetors. Individual breakfast runs generally do not draw a large number of participants. But they are scheduled roughly once a month so everyone in the club has ample opportunity to join in, depending on how early they are inclined to rise on a Saturday morning.

This event left from a familiar jumping off point – the Texaco on East Fruitville Road. The destination was Paul’s Kitchen, an eatery in Wauchula, rated 4 stars by Trip Advisor. Round trip, the group clocked about 120 miles under very pleasant weather conditions.

Cars participating were: 1951 MGTD, 1957 MGA 1500, 1959 TR3, 1973 TR6 and a 1997 Jaguar XK8.
