Since our first show in 2007, we have continued to grow to where now we can expect more than 300 British and European Classics every year. Wheels Across The Pond is free to spectator admission and our show raises money each year for both the MiniMe Foundation and a Jupiter-based nonprofit wildlife hospital and sanctuary, the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary.”

(SVBCC) Drive & Brunch at Black Twig Diner, Sperryville
2024-10-26 10:15 - 14:00 | The Black Twig Diner & Bar, 12018 Lee Hwy, Sperryville, VA, 22740, United States
Mark and Mary Ann Harris are organizing an autumn drive and brunch in beautiful Rappahannock County. NOTE: date has been changed from October 19 to October 26.
Here’s an update from Mark & Mary Ann:
“Join us for a short-ish fall foliage drive from Charlottesville to Sperryville on Saturday, October 26. We will assemble at Charlottesville Classic Cars, 4257 Seminole Trail, Suite C around 10:15 am. The owner, Steve Messere, has invited Club members to tour the shop and look at newly arrived cars.
We will depart about 11:00 am, travel north on 29, exit at Madison, and go north on 231 until we “T” onto 522. Take a left into Sperryville, follow 522 across the bridge, and take the first or second right into the Black Twig Diner‘s parking lot. Total driving time will be about 1 hour.
The Black Twig is situated in a repurposed public schoolhouse from the (?) 1930’s. It and the surrounding school yard contain several art shops, other commercial establishments, and a golf course. We will be able to park together on the grass between 522 and their paved parking lot. People can order from their standard lunch menu and eat together in the school’s original amphitheater.
Sperryville offers an attractive small town feel. One can walk to Main Street and browse, enjoy the Thornton River, or visit the town’s distillery and associated antique
store.
For those wishing a more meandering return route south, the Skyline Drive can be accessed from 211 west of Sperryville.
People can join us at Cville Classic Cars or meet at the Black Twig. We plan to arrive there around 12:15 pm. Please RSVP to Mark Harris (mharris@cstone.net) by Friday, October 25 at noon if you will be joining us for the drive or meeting us at the restaurant.
Mark and Mary Ann Harris”
NEW UPDATE (10/23/2024):
ROUTE UPDATE FOR BLACK TWIG DRIVE
Virginia’s Highway Department has been repaving Route 231 for weeks
(https://madrapp.com/articles/regional/vdot-this-week-route-231-paving-sperryville-to-banco/)
and say they will finish before the weekend. Only a small portion remains uncompleted, but we could bypass this by taking 707 just past the village of Etlan, then taking a left on Round Hill Road (604) and exiting on 511 just to the east of Sperryville.
This is a caution and guide especially for those who may join us there.
Mark
