We are driving up to Prince Edward Island with Norm Michaels for a show on August 24th. Anyone interested in joining us?

Wow Sue, that must be about a 1,400 mile round trip for Bill & you! eye popping smiley

I won't be able do the PEI show, but I did do the Bear Notch Road - Westside Road loop this morning before the teenagers awoke! A very enjoyable 45 miles! thumbs up

Cheers,

Rick

Yup, will be a long drive. We will bunk in with friends in Harpswell ME on Wednesday night so that will cut down a little on the time. Also will not have to get up so early. Bill will like that!

Too bad you didn't win the Attatash stay or we could do the Bear Notch and Westside Road together.

I've recovered from the "SOD" and am ready to hit the road again!

Sounds AWESOME! Wrong week for Tamara and I...

Hope you will be coming to the Fall Foliage Cruise in October! We have started laying out the route and it is going to be more ~~challenging~~ fun than last year with lots more ~~curves and whoop de doos~~ scenery and we should be driving a little longer than last year. We'll be starting later than last year and end up for dinner at a good restaurant that isn't overpriced not long before sunset.

I REALLY would like to go to PEI with you Tamara has always wanted to go there.

Don't forget to visit Anne's green house! PEI is a great area to visit.

Carl,I've spoken to several people who have done the drive with Norm and have had a wonderful time!

Yes Michael, we are all signed up for your Fall Foliage Tour! We also have been talking about going to PEI for a long time but never expected to be doing it in a LBC!

Paul, I went to the library yesterday to check out required reading material, Anne of Green Gables! Looks like we are staying right next door to the house along with some of the group from BATANS. Wonder if they party like BCNH......

You will have a riot! PEI is great, weather will be cool, the bridge in your MGB will be awsome. If you have time take a tour around Sussex, NB and see the cover bridges.

Not many people have MGB in Sussex, New Brunswick area - so most people enjoy seeing them, especially the old folk who actually know what an MG is.

If you come earlier in the week August 17 - 19 in Sussex we have a huge flea market and in Sept 7-9 we have a great balloon fiesta with a car show that has in excess of 550 cars - on last year was the first year in many years someone else had an MGB in the show.

Anyways enjoy PEI, enjoy the weather and have fun!

I think you will be pretty happy with their welcome :-)

I hope to see you there. Just need my new clutch installed and some new exhaust donuts. Watch out for the first 5 bumps on the bridge (the gaps where each section join together) they put a good jolt through my GT last time I went to the Island.

PS The weather has been unbelievable this summer. I was driving my GT as a daily driver for a while, but it was just to hot to drive this year. On PEI when it is to hot to drive your newly finished GT you really don't mind that much.

Wish I was able to be there this year. I was to the very first "British Car Day", would be nice to be at the rebirth as well. Maybe next year...

Actually at last night's club meeting we did bring the topic up of doing a drive to PEI next year to go to the show. AND, we had a mini BATANS meeting last night (3 members), as Malcolm and Brenda Taylor were at out monthly meeting.

Will keep Sussex in mind, Dan. Think we will be coming through there on our way home. Yes, the bridge must be awesome!

I will keep those first 5 bumps in mind, Trevor. Thanks for that!

It's interesting, Mark that my car has a BATANS sticker on the window. Wonder if she has been before or if lived up there. I bought the little car in October. I understand there is allot of excitement about the return of the show to this location.

My BGT now lives in the Toronto area with its BATANS sticker still intack. I need to get one for the F.

Yes, there certainly does seem to be quite a bit of excitement about the return of the PEI show to North Rustico. I remember heading back home to Fredericton from the first show (1999?) and breaking down along the Coles Island cutoff, good times.

Sussex is a very pretty part of New Brunswick. The drive from Sussex to Fredericton along the old TCH is an excellent drive.

Yes, definitly - the drive from Sussex to Coles Island and then if you choose you can continue on the old hwy between Coles Island to Fredricton is a great drive.

I hope next year to go to PEI, maybe a number of us could meet up at various point along the way and travel together?
