The show is over, its now time to head home. We'll be taking a slightly different route home so we can see some different scenery. We left Gettysburg about 9:00 AM with 11 other cars and our lunch stop is the Main St. Mill Restaurant in Front Royal, VA. It was raining when we arrived at the restaurant, but we were able to park close to the building. This stop turned out to be quite a memorable one. There was a gentleman eating lunch and saw us all drive up. He introduced himself to us, his name is Walt Moyer, and he said he has a shop and warehouse close by full of Rolls Royces and Bentleys and we were welcome to stop by after lunch to look around.
So, after lunch, we all drove about 2 miles to his shop, Moyer Motorcars, Inc. Turns out he specializes exclusively in the service of Rolls and Bentleys, and has been for some time. The service facility looks like any other shop with several lifts, except that every lift had a Rolls on it! And, the parts cars in the back yard were all Rolls or Bentleys! Plus, there was an attached warehouse full of all sorts of vintage Rolls and Bentleys in addition to a bunch of other special interest vehicles. It was pretty jaw dropping to stroll around that many special vehicles.
We finally had to tear ourselves away and get back on the road. Our destination for tonight is Staunton, VA. After checking into our hotel, several couples headed downtown to the Mill Street Grill for dinner. This is located on the first floor of an old flour mill building. The interior was nice and the food excellent, but the waiter was terrible. Very unfriendly and brusque. But, the company and food were good! Afterwards, we gassed up and got ready for tomorrow's trip.
