It's a PTN Muskoka drive. Should be more than 70 cars.

Yeah, I was eastbound on Highway 118 out of Bracebridge in my orange RST just before noon today (Thursday) when 30-40 P-cars were heading westbound. Lots of waving and blinking headlights.
Would have turned around but already had a luncheon date with friends in Canarvan.
Cheers,

I'd be hitting 2,518&13 if going out that way, probably will be this sat. I am out every weekend by my self with my rebuild 3.9l engine. I've done 8500 km this summer from n/w Parry Sound to n/e Pembroke,Calabogie as then as s/e as Madoc to s/w Orillia and every twisty paved road in between and actually a few gravel roads that were amazing and then some ending up single lane trails that I had to turn around in when it became atv like. I've seen probably 3 Porsches (2 Cayennes and a Boxster) and one F car in Rosseau area the whole time.

But with traffic we ended up splitting into groups of 10-20.
Then at stoplights or construction we group together again and then separate again.
Certain people prefer to stay in the back and others want the speed of the front group.
It was the best cruise I've ever done.
2 Legs.
First leg started in Peterborough and ended at Deerhurst for an outdoor patio reserved lunch.
Then the second leg took us through 518 which was EPIC to say the least and then headed south to Orillia and eventually everyone split up.
Between the drive to Peterborough and then all the cruising and driving home I calculated 731 kms in one day!
Perfectly organized from start to finish.
Police spoke to one of the drivers but ZERO tickets.

Worst thing was a flat tire by a good friend with his 997.1 Cabrio but others stayed with him until a flat bed came and then he jumped in their cars for the rest of the day.

As previously stated, that many cars can never stay together no matter how hard you try.
With all the turns and street light stops & traffic, it almost always splits up into groups of 10 or so and some even get lost (LOL) because of it.
Makes it difficult for me to take pics at times due to the waiting. LOL

Best thing is to join the PTN Whatsapp Chat.
The main chat is full but their is a secondary one that is less active but all activities (cruises, meets, track days...) are all posted there well in advance.
Also Facebook and IG but it's a little less active for upcoming notifications.

PM me if you don't do Facebook/IG and want to join the whatsapp chat.
Obviously it's all free.
