safe trip everyone......

C.

 

Well someone is up early....hope you guys have a safe trip, and don't forget to take lots of pictures

 

Well it was great weather with a great group of guys and gals.
Glad everyone made it up (too bad you couldn't make it Eric, would have been great to see ya)
Hope everyone had a safe return trip.
Sammy had the longest drive which is about 265 kms or 164 miles.

Hope everyone enjoyed themselves up in my neck of the woods, away from the hustle and bustle .

I only took a few pics where we parked the cars by the harbour. The others got more pics.

What a great day Wayne and Karen
Thanks so much for organizing this amazing day.
Weather was custom ordered, Kincardine was beautiful & the company was great

 

Here's a few more pix...

harbour & lighthouse




Great eats at the Erie Bell


A little flora.. from along the boardwalk.


And we stopped in to see Dennis & a great trio of 'Cudas
-here's his Shaker hood Hemi Cuda

 

Great meet guys. Looks like sooooo much fun. The cars all look incredible. SwivelMan was right about how common the grays and silvers are!

BTW, how about some intros to the folks in the pictures. Some of folks outside of the GTA haven't met everyone yet.

Wayne, you live in such a beautiful area. Can't wait to visit sometime myself.

Here's that image that didn't seem to turn up on your post Ian.

Well back to detailing my car. Need to have it looking good for Quebec.

 

Awesome day! Thanks so much Wayne and Karen for your Kincardine Hospitality. From the moment we arrived (Colin and I) Kincardine welcomed up.
First there was that Parade ( Which Colin thought was for us, but in fact turned out to be a Teddy Bears Parade. Since Colin is just a Big Teddy Bear himself, we were half right.)
Then hearing Wayn's G and seeing Wayne and Karen pull up to a stop light right in front of us at the only Tims in town. and then them waiting for us to give us a lift to the harbour.
Lunch, see picture, it says almost everything. The atmosphere was so relaxed the older gent at the next table felt he was at home, all alone, in a very small room, with a 250 cubic foot / min. air exchanger.
A great walk along the beech where Sammy and Colin disappeared into the horizon as the rest of us headed back to our bevy of beauties.
The visit to the " Cuda Corrall" to see what a real home garage looked like and then back to Karen and Wayne's for more beverages, smoked treats ( trout and salmon ) and stories.
Certainly worth the ride out there.
Thanks again to both of you for making the trip
so worthwhile.
BTW Wayne, I personally was very impressed that there is no speed limit on that stretch of road leaving town.

 

wow, very nice pics guys. Too bad I missed it...cars look great.

 

Wayne and Karen,

Thank you so much for the hospitality you showed everyone. You are just great.
I will definitely be back for a visit. It was such a beautiful spot.

Lunch was great too!!! Lots of good laughs there( and some funny little noises in the background...Hmmmmmmmm??).

Thanks once again and it was so nice to see every one again.

Bill

 

Terrific time as usual with a great bunch of guys and gals..........I can't add to much to the array of photos but as Sam (Whatacar said), Sam L. and I went a little further up the walk to catch the massive homes/cattages ... so there's a few more pics of those palacial estates.....
Photos can't capture the full effect of these places and the view to the west of the shoreline, water and sunset must be spectacular........
LOL, I had to keep reminding myself that the property values in that area must have been in the millions and that taking pics was about as close as I'd be to owning one......

Thanks so much Wayne and Karen for all your hospitality and organizing.......It was really a treat (again for me) but a treat that all the others I'm sure enjoyed and appreciated.....
Kincardine is such a lovely town and full of great peeps......

Was a pleasure, Sam T. , driving up and back with you.....I look forward to an equally great run to Sannonville next month...

Nice to see everyone again....you all looked healthy and happy and the smiles on all the faces said it all.......
It was a pleasure to spend the day with you.

Sam L. has some more pics of those mansions we ogled along the walkway above the beach.....I hope you post them Sam....

Colin.

 

I'm so glad you folks made it up and our doors are always open , come visit anytime, love to see you. Karen and I really enjoyed your company yesterday.

Great pictures Ian, love the lighthouse picture. Glad you and P stayed for the little barbeque later (wish everyone could have stayed longer)

Colin, I did hear a rumour that the Teddy bear Parade was also a welcome Parade for you and your comical comrade Sam. Always nice to have you up here Colin, and I will enquire about that excavation we were tallking about north of us. Sam you definitely keep us chuckling, never know what's next from you . And yes Sam I'm sure I was within the speed limits on that road (or maybe my speedo is out ) Psst, bring N next time.

I never get tired of seeing the older Mopar performance cars. As you could see my friend had a nice stable of 1970 Cudas, I would love to have one in the garage let alone three . He's a great guy, he wanted us to stay for munchies and drinks and that is the way most people are up here.

Bill, glad you made it up, hope to see you and your girlriend up here sometime. Your 03 is looking great and the interior upgrade is fantastic .

Sammy, wish we had an award for the furthest distance to the meet, you would have recieved that one or at least a trophy for consuming the most chicken I have ever seen on one salad As usual your car looks and sounds amazing. Sammy get some of your pics up here .

Chico, hopefully you can make it up next time

Now it's just over a week and we depart for the East Coast/Quebec run .

Wayne

 

Yes, Wayne. my bad for not mentioning the corall of 'Cudas......They brought back some very fond memories and many thanks once again to Dennis for having us in to enjoy those special rides...
As you say, he's most hospitable and it was much appreciated. I was glad to hear that he is a 'brother' firefighter who spent longer on the force than I did.....Was nice to have a quick chat with him about that, as well as look as his gorgeous 'toys'..
I'm sure he caught more than one of us drooling..... , I just hope it didn't get on any of the sparkling paint..... ....

Yes, the Teddy Bear Parade....lol, Sam and I arrived just in time for it.....Was much enjoyed , and was quite a welcome, tho I suspect just a coincidence to our arrival....... --
Much fun was had by everyone in the parade, sorry we didn't join in at Sam's suggestion....
I think he would have fit right in there will all that 'fur' on his face......

Great day folks; I for one hope we can do that again....Kincardine is one of my favourite destinations.....

C.

Edit.
Sorry Sam, I almost forgot our pics we took to start our trek to Kincardine:

 

Thanks for the pics guys. Sounds like you all had a great time!

 

Awesome day guys/gals. Kincardine really is a beautiful place. I am jealous Wayne, I would love to have had been able to raise my kids in an area like that instead of the concrete jungle here.

Sorry it took so long to get these pics up but they are pretty much the same as the ones on here already.

Enjoy!

Here are the cars!


This is the neverending boardwalk where Colin and I got lost.


Here is a pic of the beaches


This was my favorite house on the boardwalk. I'd move there in a second if I could afford it.


A few more of the Cuda's




Thanks again Wayne for the hospitality and the smoked fish. Definitely worth the trip up there and we couldn't have asked for a better day.


Ooooops! I almost forgot. This is a picture of Colins little piece of fish he had at the Erie Belle.


And mine a chicken ceasar with extra chicken.


The food was great and plentiful.

 

Wow, with the cars, homes, beach, food etc. Looks like a fantastic meet guys.
