Getting excited for this first cruise. For those who know me, I have a couple surprises in store!

 

Love surprises! Is it a mod that none of us have seen?????

 

Is he bringing that jet engine that he built? That would wake up a town.

 

Lol no jet engine but he will be bringing two big surprises for sure. Those who are coming don't forget to call to reserve your room. Also bring your walkie talkies for on road communication (Car issue or bathroom breaks...) and juts in case, bring your umbrella

 

My car have transmission problem otherwise I'll go.

 

see you on the next one, hope you figure out the issue soon.

 

Hey Chris!

It is a surprise so you'll just have to come up and see for yourself. Drive safe!

 

Hey Ron!

Now there's an idea!

Paul, feel like roasting sausages in 30 seconds flat? I got just the thing!

 

Probably the ever so dreaded conductor plate:

What a great weekend!! perfect weather, roads, food, location and most importantly great friends. We meet some new ones as well along our travels and we had a grand total of 18 who participated in one way or another during this event. The guys even met our famous little Annie and they were not disappointed. Photos will be posted and videos will be on YouTube as soon as I figure out the editing program. Thank you to all who participated

 

Excellent job Paul and Mario (and supportive partners behind the two)!!! Everything lined up perfectly....wonderful cruise, food/drinks, cars and most important of all,,,,friends and friends along the way! Can't wait for the next one...

 

Flo and I had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to the next event as well!

 

 

We had a spectacular weekend. Got in some great "Face Time" with our Crossfire cousins, got a valuable technical session in Paul's garage when Paul and Mario repaired my broke seat heaters (6 places where the wires were broken) and a well planned and executed tour through Quebec's Laurentians! Great food, wonderful hospitality and accommodations at Paul and Gayle's beautiful home. The highways were really picturesque and I will definitely make the trip to Ottawa along the secondary roads again. It was WAY better than the 401!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Norm's party on July 11th or earlier - maybe at OneEighty's BBQ/Car Show in Caledon East!
