Looks good, bump for you.

Les, busted car or not I will be there, count me in for two people and I will meet up with you guys at the Fruitland Road spot. I am not going into the Square One parking lot even if it was a get together for K cars. The place is nuts.

Any of you folks down in the Toronto-Hamilton-Stoney Creek area should consider joining up. These Niagara runs have been the highlight of the summer. Wash them up and head out to have a great day.

Look forward to seeing the gang.
