Lets meet in the Middle...

Stopped by Costco tonight and he assured me no Ethanol in their 91 premium gas. Only 94 is at Husky or Mowhawk and it has Ethanol.
Look at past post about car wash, updated the 1st one it might be tricky to see and you'll say there is no car wash here.

Bag is packed. Still need to pack the car but won't be a lot. May change targa tops back to the exposed CF. Only had the lexan on for 2 weeks but think I like the CF better... Even if I can't see the clouds through it....lol...

Safe journey to all the MITM attendees..
A lot of us that couldn't make it are living vicariously thru your journey.

Special kudos to all the organizers of this event.
I will be wearing my MITM shirt/hat on the weekend here at home.

I see @Z16Jim on Glympse doing the speed limit, yawn. and lots of expired Glympses.

Remember by default glympse sets expiry time to something low like 15 mins, you can (if feeling brave) set this to 4 hours or whatever the max is so as to avoid going back and re-enabling it.

Coin Car washes in the area, click names for Google maps directions, for most the blue path is best route wash type

Husky wand wash very good pressure, 8 bays (but at any given time 2 could be down) my car wash of choice, although the vacuums there suck or should I say don't suck.
At first the cash wash bays are hard to see, drive by the C-Store and around past the McDonald's and the car wash bays are to the East of McDonald's, entrance on the North side.

Henry's Car Wash - wand wash, decent pressure, Watch as certain bays are not Corvette friendly. Across the street to the East is an Esso 3 bay wash
Esso Car wash - wand wash, 6 bays (have not been here, but heard decent pressure)
Tubby's Car Wash - 4 wand wash bays (have not been here)

Hey Wayne u live like only 2 miles from event site.. maybe we Manitoba guys can just bring whole bunch of hose lengths and use your water, your soap and your towels for event car wash !!!

Looks like my issues have been resolved so I can attend the MITM event. Wooooo! So pumped about this.

Derek, thanks for posting about all who were involved with making this event. Quite extraordinary! Unbelievable the amount of work and time people did to put this on. My hats off to all of you! Looking forward to tomorrow!

Lots of construction between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. Even some gravel where they have ripped up the asphalt.
I had been considering going up through Timmins but it looks like a lot of forest fires in the area.

 

[Z16Jim]

Ok day one done. 714 km today. Gravel section after Sudbury was nasty.

Car is no longer clean front end is plastered with bug guts.

Been tracking You and Jim on Glympse today. Glad day 1 is behind you with no big problems.
Hopefully tomorrow is much smoother sailing for you both.
The horde from the West will be in Moose Jaw this time tomorrow.

Actually as the crow flies it's only 1.2 miles away, I already have the 1st half mile in place..... LOL

New update for Saturday caravan cruise out to Bernie & Bev's for the BBQ.
If everyone (including me, as I have a lot to do after autocross is over) maybe we can all meet in the parking lot for a 4:00PM (10 minutes earlier) departure cruise to the BBQ location?
We will travel about 10 kilometers further East then we need to verses turning off to the BBQ venue and use this time to organize the Corvettes for a photo shoot at this location.
After all this is what the event revolved around. How is everyone with that thought? There is a hard packed gravel service road we can safely pull onto for this opportunity.

 

[Rruuff Day]

did...did...... you say gravvvelllll....lol...just kidding....I live on 2km of gravel..... sounds good to me...

 

[ddgermann]

Definitely a yes from me Wayne. I definitely want this photograph, and know someone who happens to be with us that takes great pictures.

 

[MikeysZ06]

Awesome picture from Calgary, safe drives everyone. Watch your speed both sides of Virden MB. In most cases 10 to 12K over they will leave you alone, 15 plus and they will stop you.
