First Toronto Drive for 09 - May 16th.

Just spent a nice evening with old friends at the Orangeville restaurant you guys will be visiting on Saturday...real nice owner and staff and fantastic food!!!!!!!!!.......driving F cars and eating in such a fine establishment sounds like a combo for a great day. Too bad I am away depleting the brook trout population and feeding the black flies in Haliburton.

Enjoy the run/lunch and see you guys soon.

Beev

 

If it's nice i'll be there for a bit in the morning to snap some pics, maybe a drive as you most likely will be coming toward my area. Hope to see some faces from the previous season!

 

just after 7:00 guys and the rain is really coming down here...and has been since the middle of the night.

i really have to see how this unfolds over the next hour or so because i only have the Mondial Cab today...and she's not exactly watertight.

maybe somebody can let me know what it's doing down there...

 

Actually rain stopped in Richmond Hill. Didn't get to heavy. Each weather station on the net says something different. Weather Canada says rain stopping this morning. Another says rain continuing right through.
what's everyone's thought.

 

I use a satellite map to track rain.

PS: give it a little time to download.

 

At 401 and DVP poured buckets from 6am to 630, every since on and off every 10 mins - doesn't look too promising. Weather said it's going to be like this all day with some sun - Orangeville area will likely be completely different - anyone north of Hwy 7?

 

Bolton had thunder overnight and rain but at 8:30 nothing just clouds. Wooden fences are even drying up therefore no rain in awhile now. I'm gonna be heading there anyway, worst comes to worst Salty Dogs is near by heheh.

 

Good Morning guys--was pouring here at 6 am BUT it's 8:30 am now it's NOT raining, sky is getting brighter & I actually see some dry spots on my driveway. Part of the drive is through this area so it looks good.

Brett remember the first drive you called off? Drove up to your place anyway & the only drop that fell on my car was when we drove by that sprinkler system that was watering the road.

Be at T's at 9:30 am

 

It might be a good idea to delay the start time.

 

let's get it in while we can

 

I said that to my wife last night, didn't work
Whats it like up there Mario?
What do you think Tony?

 

ahah!

 

Message from Tony:

"Sunshine coming out - roads are drying. Come on out - espresso is ready


Were all a go.

Lots of people

Come on over"

Let's go! - sbrig!

 

Rob and I will be about 45 mins - he has to do his hair!

 

Ok gimme a few minutes, I'll be there.

 

Well it was nice meeting some people and seeing some old ones. I headed home at Highway 50 and Castlederg since I live in Bolton. Got some pics and it was a rather big turnout. I hope the Skyline didn't create to much of an eye sore as the body work for the summer isn't complete yet!

 

don't ask her--just do it.

she will thank you later

 

Bravo and well done everyone. The rain held off for the drive and the route was perfect. Too bad not everyone got to enjoy it! It was my pleasure to meet you all, hope to do this again soon enough. Here are some pics from the back of the line.

Ride turned out perfect! Lots of fun. Post more pics who ever has them.
Good job with the route Mario.

 

Wish my pics would have come out better. I was toying around with my more sophisticated lens which has no auto focus and resulted in a lot of pictures looking a little "soft" and not the best. I will post them soon once I get them all hosted. Was quite a site and what a stunning piece of land you guys have over there!

 

Great turnout for a cloudy day - lots of fun - thanks Mario, Rocco, and Tony for a great route.

Nice spot you have there Tony - thanks for the espresso!

Good to see everyone.

 

A huge thank you to all who put this ride together.

How does a May Two - Four start better than espresso, a great ride though some fun roads at a speed fast enough to be entertaining but not wacko with a good variety of exotics?

It wa a pleasure meeting you gentlemen.

Greg: It was a pleasure being behind your 348 for most of the cruise

We had to take off to get to the TFC game in time, given the detours and delays, but I'll get some shots Andrew got of your car uploaded tonight.

 

Hi guys, was great meeting some of you today, I think I left before you all got there though, did some get lost along the way?

Anyway, here are my pics, hope you like 'em. My son certainly loved seeing all the cars!
