The drive was good but stopped one too many times by the side of the road. We left julep at 10:40 ish and got at the lodge at 14:00. Having over 20 cars, it was obvious that at one point, we were going to break up so the best thing would be to plan ahead "meeting points".

Well there was one planned meeting point, which was along the river. The ones before were not planned and only happened because of the jaguar breaking down.

Also, I wasn't impressed with the resturant at all, having to pay with one bill was a huge hassle.

Nice photos! I'm working on the video.

For those of you that I mentioned this to… I figured out what the problem was with my car... in 3rd, 4th, and 5th it would occasionally cut out under hard acceleration. I thought a certain corvette would end up rear ending me if the car cut out while he was chasing!

Anyways... I forgot that I reinstalled the friggin’ stock chips, but I had left the boost turned up a bit (about 18PSI). So every time it would hit 16PSI it would kill the ignition.
Not to mention the smoke show from running rich

Great pics. Off topic, what kind of camera and lens did you use?
And have you guys decided to do another one?

Everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves, so I do plan on having another run sometime in the summer. Most likely in July.

I use a Canon 350D with Sigma 17-70 and Canon 70-300 IS lenses

Hey guys, i'm looking to plan another run in the beginning of September, would you guys be interested? Anyone have any suggestions as for route and destination? I was thinking maybe going somewhere in the Eastern Townships. Any suggestions would be welcome!

I'm in!

I tell you... I've been driving the back-roads of Italy for the past two weeks and I can only dream of having the p-car here! I can't find a road that isn't freshly paved or straight!!!

Can't wait to get back home and hop in the car for a spin

You'll have a hard time finding those here too.

Maybe we should fly all the cars out to europe, then we could get some of the greatest driving roads :

What does everyone think of Saturday, September 1st? Its labor day weekend. Does anyone have any route idea's in the easturn townships?

EDIT: Just checked the rennsport calander and it looks like you guys will all be at calabogie that weekend, so September 8th might be a better date. Sound good?

If I do not hit the Zippo vintage GP at Watkins Glen, I'll be there.

Part of a nice route could be the Wine Route through Dunham. L'Orpailleur is a nice winery to stop at for a picnic lunch and tour.

Just a thought...
