Default Taylor's PARKING

I may see Lowell up here at Thunderhill and if I do, I’ll talk to him about a parking strategy. We both know Taylor’s well and it will be a fun place to gather.

Have a great weekend, John
Hi John, I know about the mess trying to park at Taylor's so I spoke to Lowell about it. I made the suggestion that he try to talk the owner there into blocking off an area for at least some of us in return for letting him or his manager, etc. take photos of all the Cobras out in front of the place to use for advertising or to place on their wall there. The "hope" is that he might be smart enough to see that such a photo could be valuable tool/item for his advertising and/or business promotion, or even just his personal collection/gallery. The photo of all those Cobras would really tie right into his place's "old time drive-in image" and a smart guy might think it of value to have the rare opportunity to take one.
This is only a hope of course and he may simply tell us to "take a leap". I just thought it might be worth it to ask him as it can't hurt to try?
Otherwise you're right, we may not even be able to get in the joint as it's often hard enough for just one car, let alone a group!
See you then brunch either way, Don
