NASHVILLE — The Lane Motor Museum is not sitting on its collection.
Located about five miles west of Nashville International Airport, the museum recently enlisted about 100 adventurers to drive some 20 cars from its collection in a fund-raiser rally between the museum and Lynchburg, Tenn.
The event, called the Rally for the Lane, was held twice this year, on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1. Participants paid $400 to $800 for the privilege, depending on the vehicle being driven; the fee covered the driver and as many as three passengers. A family-style lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House in Lynchburg, as well as a tour of the Jack Daniel Distillery there, were also included.

TATRA, a. s. will be represented at the 14th China Coal and Mining Expo 2011 by its dealer Goelink and also, at the Czech Republic national stand.
The China Coal and Mining Expo 2011 has been held every two years since 1985 and the trade considers it the only national presentation event of this segment held in Beijing this year. The exhibition will take place from 28 to 30 October. The event will host both domestic and international exhibitors from 19 countries from all over the world, and is expected to attract a wide range of customers, manufacturers and suppliers in the coal and mining industries.
Three important events for the public – 2011 NATO Days – Ostrava, Nitra Motor Show 2011 and Brno International Engineering Fair 2011.
KOPŘIVNICE (20 September, 2011) – After being recently officially introduced to journalists, the new model range of TATRA PHOENIX heavy-duty trucks will be, for the first time, also launched to the public.
The TATRA, a. s. company will present the new TATRA PHOENIX truck on the occasion of three important events.
On the weekend of September 24 and 25, the TATRA PHOENIX 8×8 S1 truck, together with a CAS 30 water tender and with one of special military trucks of the so-called “7-series” T815-7 range, will be displayed during the 2011 NATO Days in Ostrava – the largest event of this kind in Central Europe. The Ostrava Airport of Leoš Janáček expects to attract several tens of thousands of visitors.
The Nitra Motor Show will be the second occasion where the public will have an opportunity to see the new TATRA truck made for the commercial sector. The show will be held in the Slovak Republic from September 29 through October 3. The TATRA PHOENIX 8×8 S1 truck will be displayed in the open area outside the main entrance to welcome all visitors and fans of the Slovak motor show.
The third presentation event will be the International 2011 Brno Engineering Fair. Its importance for the Czech industry reaches far beyond the Czech Republic. The TATRA PHOENIX will be displayed in the open exhibition area “P” between exhibition halls “P” and “Z”.
Ostrava, Nitra, and Brno – these are the cities where the public, and not only from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, will have an opportunity to see the TATRA PHOENIX truck for the first time. The TATRA PHOENIX is a truck enabling the oldest Czech auto company to extend its offers to customers, as well as to reach a higher level of meeting customers’ needs. The TATRA PHOENIX embodies all the features of TATRA’s successful globalization strategy. The truck is a significant leading-edge innovation and hard evidence of the TATRA brand’s ability to compete in the world market.
