Oh yeah.....I'm sure those mysteries will never be revealed......





I'm afraid there's no dodging our fame, Roman......or is that 'infamy'.....

Hi to all. I just home after managing to get an earlier flight. Wow, what a trip!! It was great meeting you Sam, Roman, Amy and seeing Colin, Wayne and Ian once again.

Where to start??? I felt like a true gypsy with all the driving, flying, and dragging my belongs everywhere. It was hard fitting in a couple of hours to eat, sleep and drink beer.

Special thanks to Colin and Ian and P for your hospitality and for putting up with this Bluenoser. Much appreciated. Wayne, we really enjoyed your warm welcome and the town tour. Ian, this morning was a real treat and I'm spoiled now for a long time to come.

That Ariel experience is first class. What a blast to drive. The real topper was that last session with our instructor. I almost couldn't believe the speed we went around that track. What an experience.

Time to get some shut eye.

Glad to hear you had a good time, Deane.....we all enjoyed your company and were glad you made the long trip to experience the Atom with us....It was a special pleasure to have you.

It certaily was a lot of traveling in 3 days for you, and will take some time to get back to the normal routine....but as we all found out: the Atom Experience made it all worth it.
Let's hope we can do it all again, perhaps next year maybe with an even bigger crowd.....

I should add that the kids (Dayne and Sid) really enjoyed your visit too, and I've caught them both in your room looking for you.......They'd love to have you back too, I'm sure.... -- you know that you're most welcome any time.

Colin.

I'm pretty sure AAE will be back next year with a more comprehensive schedule.....Their stop in Calgary is only a shorth one of 4 days but you can bet the response will be excellent and they'll be back for a longer stay next year...
-plan on it....you'll be glad you did...

Cheers, bro....enjoy BC...
Colin.

Thanks again Colin. LOL, I forgot to mention the "kids". They sure are a nice pair that are lucky to have such a devoted father!

Had a little surprise on my way to work this morning....

I followed an AA across the Aurora side road from hwy400,
he turned down Jane and was obviously headed to the Canadian distributor near King City.
What was interesting is that it was plated for the street

It was funny to see it on the street...DAMN it's small!
My Roadster felt HUGE riding his tail.


I Know, I know.... ...... but it was too dark to get a cell phone pic.

Wow, that's the one car in Ontario registered for the street. Must have looked pretty strange to see on the roads.

I have been communicating with AAE about possibly coming to Halifax next year. They will be considering it further.
