Had a great day with Leaburn and Bill and Susan his wife, driving up to National Moparts and spending some money, and then going for dinner at a cool cruise night place near Port Perry. The dinner was excellent, and courtesy of Bill (thanks again! !thumb ).
We discovered the cruise night just by accident (not literally), and pulled in to check it out. Bill's rental Ford Exploder had to park in the regular lot! !nana There were a few really cool cars there, (mine and Leaburn's not withstanding), including a 64 Chrysler with just over 10000 original miles, and a 66 Monaco with 7600 original miles. Both cars were incredible time capsules.
Hopefully Leaburn can post some pics in a while.
Good times, lots of laughs, great weather, good food, great cars, and the wish to do it again soon. What could be better? <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited ]</span>

Yes it was a blast!
|I'm currently staying with Leaburn in Kingston and spent the day touring the city. Been 34 years since I lived here and most everything has changed.
We did pay a visit to Kingston Dodge Chrysler and found they have a 08 SRT Challenger black on black in stock. Very nice! He wanted 15K$ over MSRP which brought it up to 67K$ taxes in. Couldn't get it in red, so we passed.
I did get them to give me a nice rear licence plate frame for my Fury. !thumb
We'll get some pictures up after we get them out of the cameras.
Tomorrow, Leaburn is throwing a CARBBQ and I'll get to meet all the BOAB worker bee's. Should be a blast. Saturday its off to Cornwall and the Mopar show. Will take pictures!

Yes,thanks,Bill,Sue and Ross for a great day.As much as I hate driving in the GTA it was well worth it! !driving Ross even gave us a shotgun ride in his ultra rare 66 Canuck-built Dodge Monaco 440 4 speed car that Chrysler Canada denied that they built". !drive Ross' green '66 Monaco (also Canuck built) is both show and go.
