If you take the trip to Toronto route and need any assistance while near
London, Ontario, feel free to call. If you don't hear from some other
Toronto Triumph Club members who live in Toronto, let me know and I'll give
you some names and numbers. If you do it in September, British Car Day in
Bronte Park (Mississauga, Ontario) is on September 19 and will likely have
over 1000 cars of various British marques. Some claim it is the largest
"one day" British car show in North America. It also never rains on British
Car Day!!!
Cheers
Keith
