STTA members gathered at the Lowe’s located at O’Conner Road and I-35 in San Antonio and were joined by several members of the Jaguar club. We departed at 8:30 and followed a backroads route to Shiner Texas where we met up with friends from the Austin Healy club and fellow Triumphiles from The Hill Country Triumphs in Austin. As usual, the Spoetzl Brewery provided a great tour and samples of their variety of regular and seasonal beers.

23 July 2022: STTA Ain’t for the Faint Reliability Run
Team STTA gathered at Mary’s Tacos in Boerne at 8:30 am. We were joined by several members of the South Texas Austin Healy Club. We departed at 9:15 for a drive through the scenic hill country.
One missed turn and two and a half hours later, we arrived at Street Dreams, a classic car restoration company located at 7914 S State Hwy 16, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. We toured their showroom/museum and restoration shop.
Afterwards, we split up with half of us enjoying a lunch at Catfish Haven and the rest popping in at Altstadt Brewery.
This was a great drive through parts of central Texas that many of us hadn’t had the pleasure of experiencing. Great job, Larry!
