Well said, Phil - a truly spectacular show, with a wide variety of cars to
be had. The Boot'n'Bonnet club attracted cars from all points N,S,E and W.
Everything went off seamlessly, which is a complement to the organization
involved. Phil also provided me with a 'Triumph Mail List' window decal, so
I am now an official "Lister". Phil - if we meet there next year, I'll
remember to give you one of my 'Triumph Competition' decals from the TR
Register Deutscheland group in exchange, or buy you a 'real' beer! (I
believe in the metaphor about American beer being like making love in a
canoe - think about it for a second!). Can't wait for the show next year,
with the 'Monte Carleton Rally' from Ottawa to Kingston on the way down!
Cheers, JD

Took a ride up to Kingston, Ontario yesterday for Boot and Bonnet
Club's
show in the park. Good turn-out, ~150 cars, great weather and good
friends
all in evidence. Met John Day and Bill Gunshannon face-to-face. Bill
took
home the long-distance award for the day. Plenty of nice TRs,
including a
newly-restored TR250. I kidded Grant Buss (on the spit-list) and his
wife
about making a VTR shrine in their trunk and they won Best Boot
award.
Kudos to Boot and Bonnet and Brian and Linda Thomas for a fun event.
Next stop, British Invasion.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
