Any info on where the Toronto folks are starting from, would like to hook up & tour with others than drive by my self, much more fun!!!!!



Pete. don't worry, I am looking forward to driving down with you, we can sort out via PM. I prefer to use Don Valley Park Way South, Gardner expressway west which connects to QEW. You can drive to my place which is basically 65camino's place too, we are 5 minutes from Gardner via DVP.

Cliff



Met Cliff on the way home from birthday party, we ended up in the same gas station just east of Oshawa. I was in my P/up but had no trouble seeing him with his Blue 67 Chevy. Any other time I would be driving the 64 but Sat. I had to deliver a 48" x 24" x 18" fish tank to granson's parents house. Have met Cliff at a few cruise's & he "clicked"in  to who I was, as soon as I spoke to him!!!

This will be more fun than the Ingersoll show. You can drive your Acadian instead of just parking it.

Just wondering if anyone had travelled the QEW lately, NOTHING but a huge construction mess from the 427 through to Burlington.

TRAFFIC JAMS extraordinaire

Might consider another route. Being in Oshawa I just slip up to the Gov depository called 407 ETR and it is smooth sailling.

Another option is the 401 all the way to highway 6 then south.

401 to #6 is a good route,or 403 down to the QEW & I refuse to use the 407 as it's not the gov. but private enterprise that screwing us this time. I could put my "velcrowed" 64 plates on the car, but some poor guy in northern Ont. will get the bill for his trailer plate that matches up with my 64 plates. Traffic shouldn't be too bad on Sun for the construction?? Should it???????????

That stretch of the QEW has been under condtructioin for two years. Living in Toronto is not the same as Oshawa for traffic. It rarely takes me over an hour to get to Hamilton.

 Well Ray,

  I HOPE to bring the Red car, only 2 things stand in the way.  The fact I blew something in the brake system this morning....pedal hit the floor!!!  2nd is the lifter tick has finally been figured out.... I have a lifter bore clearance issue!!!!  When I fired the car up I still had a noise noticeable between 1500-2000rpm.  After a closer look I noticed on #4 cyl. that the one pushrod would rotate part way then stop.  SO I checked the lifters I had removed and sure enough there were line-like marks around the lifter as opposed to the nice shiny band from rotating.  So tonight I hope to start pulling it apart AGAIN!!!  First find the brake issue, then I will look at the lifter!!!!  IF all goes well, it will be in Hamilton on Sunday!!  no

Well right now we could be as high as 30 people with 15 classic cars. I will be checking on parking, the group rate / tour and the ability of the jetty to accomodate 30 people with picnic lunches as I think that 30 people and their cars will be just a bit overwhelming for any restuarant.

As far as driving from our end of the 401 goes if we continue east past Woodstock and not turn on the 403 there is a stretch of construction for about 15k i think it is. Down to one lane each way as they add more lanes.
