Drive to Lunch at Giovanni’s

On Saturday, October 13, eleven club members in seven cars drove to Wauchula, Florida for lunch at Giovanni’s Main Street Kitchen. Giovanni’s is a destination restaurant in the Florida “interior.” Club President, Jim Wilson, had everyone meet at the familiar jumping off point – behind Stottlemyer’s Smokehouse on E. Fruitville Road. He then led the group on an approximately 70-mile trip over country roads and pastoral lanes. As the caravan got closer to Wauchula, the agricultural scene transitioned from cattle ranches to orange groves. The following vehicles took part: 1951 MG TD, 1973 TR6, 1977 MG Midget, 1997 and 1999 Jaguar XK8’s, 2010 Mini Cooper S, followed by Bill Stelcher’s 1929 Model A Speedster.

The weather was beautiful, not too hot, with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. The food was as good as advertised with, according to reports, the pizza being excellent. All had a good time.
