Going for a cruise this Sunday (Hamilton Area)

[Jack Raccoon!]

Lol what time was that at? I drove backwards to try to run into you...

 

[Ty.]

Well halfway thru the cruise (I was leading 1st 6-7 cars) I lost everyone but one at Lincoln parkway exit due to traffic we desided to call it quits. Hope the 2nd group enjoyed the 2nd part of planned cruise.

Yes a bit of chaos at that cutoff. A few of us got off at Garth and found out way back to 5 others or so.

Fun day and thanks for helping to organize..
As you guys said, we will learn some tricks and buddy system for future rides. If things don't open up as quickly as we'd like, It could be fun to even find a park and BYOB (bring your own BBQ) or picnic and meet up and enjoy some shade and car talk.

Was great to see so many out today. Nice to see some of the C6 and C7 folks as well!

Props to those who drove from out a distance.


Ps. Noticed only a few had the front (or side) radiator grill guards... Might. Be something to consider if you aren't aware of the available after market parts.

Cheers until next time...

Scott (red C7) and I got held up in traffic and then stuck at the lift bridge. Hope everyone had a good cruise!

Oh no!!! That's too bad about the bridge, Jim. Was nice to meet you. Hope you had some fun at least.

 

[Ty.]

Have some more, but will blur a few plates our of consideration.


Also, would like some details on this exhaust. . Had the pleasure of driving behind.. nice HTC! I think you have the Avant Garde wheels too if not mistaken .

It was nice to see people that are on the Canadian forum getting together. Until the next time cheers!

Thanks for the compliments! GM gets all the credit, I just keep it clean and shiny!

nevermind...

nevermind...

Hey I ditched at scenic dr a 1440, not sure what happened after

 

[GMJim]

Denis
Thanks for the effort. If it's any consolation I've been on many of these cruises with my Corvette club and this always happens. Traffic, red lights etc. We always encourage anybody participating to have a map of the route as you suggested. This way at least everyone gets to the finish line at some point. Having a navigator in the car helps a lot.

The bridge definitely screwed Jim and I from any hope of catching up to the group.
We did manage to get up snake road and across Dundas where we parted ways at Hwy 6. My girlfriend and I ended up doing the rest of the drive on our own. It really was a great route. I forgot how much fun it is ripping up and down those mountain access roads.

Great meeting everyone!!
