Winnipeg coffee break (WITH A SPECIAL GUEST)
Permalink  

We have an out of province CP member coming to town this week. It looks like Thursday night will be the night he is free for a coffee. Can we get some guys out to give him a warm Manitoba welcome? (Hint, you will NOT be sorry if you come, it will be fun, I assure you!)

Should we try our old Robin's (now Tim's) by the Mint? Has anyone been there since it reopened?

Tomorrow night? I had to double check to make sure I posted correct. Thursday night Dave, I hope that still works for you.

Wouldn't it be interesting if after not being around here for about 6 weeks, Johnnee comes out of hiding and shows up in Manitioba?

 Trust me, if it was Johnnee, I wouldn't tell anyone. Why would I want to torture my friends by inviting them for coffee with him?

I think we'll try that one?

Unless somebody wants to go to a different one? Other option is the one at Portage and the Perimeter. It's pretty quiet in that one usually. I'm fine with either, how about you guys?

It would be worth coming home especially for this!

Oh well, there will be more chances.

Our mystery guest is in Manitoba. Just a reminder for coffee tomorrow. How does 7 p.m. sound? The new donut shop which is our old donut shop by the mint.

I'm not sure if my tire mounting and balancing skills are that exceptional but Ken drove 1000 miles just to get me to do exactly that today. We put 4 new tires on his car after I mounted and balanced them on the extremely rare 1967 15 X 5" Rally wheels that he brought along. This is me following him to Morris just prior to us installing the new tires.

This is what happened when he pulled up to our dealership today. He parked by in our parking lot which is adjacent to the manufacturing plant next door. He was immediately surrounded by a curious group of young fellows who especially liked his factory 1969 Pontiac floor mounted 8 track unit (which they had never heard of before!)

 

20190502_122911[1].jpg

After the tire mounting and appropriate road test of the new tires (and a mighty smooth ride it is in that sweet little Beaumont on the new rubber), we had a quick G8 GT road test, followed by a test drive of my Strato Chief!
