Who is planning on going?  Might be a good chance for some of us to meet up who haven't met yet.
I'm planning to go on the Saturday.  73SC, 65Camino, any interest in going down together?

 I may go but it's the same weekend as Barrie. What time do you leave town and how long does it take?

It's just outside of London so figure a couple of hours to be on the safe side.  I'd plan to go first thing in the morning and make a day out of it.

I'll be at Barrie on Friday; all the good stuff is always gone by Saturday. wink.gif

I was hoping to go but we are hosting a 60th anniversary party for my inlaws that day. It really is worth the trip. I was fortunate enough to get a private tour of Steve's place and it is amazing, especially if you like Cadillacs! Ahh-to be rich, not work and play with old cars all day... He also hosts a cruise night at his estate every Thursday night. I hope to take the Laurentian at some point.

I highly recommend to be there by 8am waiting in line. Or ull be waiting 2 hours at the gates to get in. This is the largest show in Canada. There is no comparison to this show anywhere. Pebble Beach is comparable but its over $100 there to get in. If you haven't gone....its something else. The host Steve that puts on the show will be bombing around on his electric Escalade Golf Cart. Poor guy spends a year putting this show on and doesnt even geta  chance to see the cars as he is busy making sure everything runs smooth. He has been trying for last 2 years to get Jay Leno to come. He went to Jays house last fall. And was invited to Pebble Beach. Last year he had people come from Germany, Australia, The US obviouslly and 7 Provinces. The money that is generated all goes to charity and Steve drops over $500,000 ou of his own pocket to put this show on. The dinner/dance is always a good time too.Tickets maybe available.This show hosts many world and canadian records. Iam very fortunate to be a personal friend and his detailer for his 56+ car fleet. Mainly caddys but does have some rare autos aswell.

Do you mean if you are showing car?  What if you are just coming as a spectator with your daily driver?

I'm actually heading up on Thursday and spending the night.  I share a vending spot with a couple of friends, not so much to sell stuff but to have a spot to camp and an easy place to drop off our finds during the day.

I happened to be in Ontario on business last June and caught the last 2 hours of the Fleetwood Cruise-in. Even though many cars were leaving or had left by the time I got there, I could still tell that there had been a huge quantity & variety of cars there (for the 2 dr post car enthusiasts here I saw a green 69 427 Biscayne, a green V8 64 Laurentian, a black 61 Biscayne 348 or 409 and a black 62 Biscayne 409) . I was sufficiently impressed that I booked a special trip to Ontario this year just to take it in on Saturday.

I went out to the Inaguaral Thurs nite cruise a few weeks ago at Plunkett's driving my Allante'. It was very nice as there wasn't too many people out due to cold weather so we were able to check out his Cadillac's without a crowd. 3 V16's on one place is very impressive!
