    Left GDC at a little after 5AM, fueled up and on Rt. 80 W by 5:20.
    First pic and most important pic: Car made it. 854KM -- that's almost 530 miles. And average 17 mpg. :) Two rest/coffee stops included and we got there at 1:50. How do we know? Because the clock works.
    More to come over the next few days.

    8 Boxers at the FCA meet. Met Dave Bendl and Paul Newman, both great guys and fonts of Boxer knowledge. My car looks great and runs great but under the careful scrutiny of none other than Dick Fritz, head judge for the Boxer class, it turns out I have a host of non-originalities that knocked me out of running for Platinum. There's still the run tomorrow and the track on Sat and Sun morning.

    Back in NYC. Put 1900KM on the car in 5 days. No parts fell off the car, no oil leaks, temp never went past midgauge, A/C blew so cold that the evaporator froze up. Great drives to the wine country and an unexpected jaunt to Niagra Falls, but the highlight of the trip was running the Boxer at Mosport. Here are two nice photos that a friend took on the front straight.

    As promised.
    The red one is a Mondial t Coupe US spec with Penn plates. There were only 42 such cars imported to North America (originally) and few were federalized later on, making it the rarest non-vintage car at the event. This example was, um, "tired." Note the front air dam is missing and there is big gash forward of the left headlamp.
    The white one actually won an award: Best Unrestored Car Built Before 1990. I have never seen a Mondi win an award for anything; this was quite a shock.

    hey Buzz you forgot to mention your tire was low & had to hunt around for a gas station.

    Hope you & your wife enjoyed our fair city.

    Ah yes. But I suspect it was underinflated from the start of the trip. It held pressure all day Sat and Sun AM at Mosport.

    It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife and many others from Ontario and Montreal and Quebec. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and now I need a vacation from my vacation.

    Looks like you had a blast. Glad you enjoyed yourself and nice to see someone driving the car like it was meant to be driven. Many would not even think about doing a weekend like that!

    Nice pics. Yes, that Mondi t does look a little haggard. What a shame to let a rare car like that go.
