FABAC had a very busy week-end. Thanks to Jim McKeown for arranging an invitationfor FABAC to attend the World Class Auto dealer's open house on Saturday 22nd for food and refreshments. The owner Bob Wheaton was very impressed with our vintage roadsters.
Then on Sunday 23rd it was off to Saint John via the by-way of Route 101 with a rest stop at Welsford Irving, just in case anyone had a kidney stone loose or wanted to re-cycle coffee.
Next on to San Juan and the HomePort Inn where we were warmly received by Ralph and Karen Holyoke. We were also greeted by other Saint John FABACians where we socialized on the green and took in the beautiful view from the mountain top before lunch. Ralph had arranged for lunch at the Reversing Fall's Garden Restaurant. Ralph had to keep up-dating the kitchen as our numbers kept increasing to a total of 30. The food was good and plentiful and the hardy folk ate El Fresco--a few had to go inside(you know who).
Then it was off to Millidgeville to see Vern Sabean's barn collection of very old blighty cars and a rare 1950 Austin Atlantic for restoration. Alex Hoffman asked me, "When are we going home?" so I said, "Now."
Barry and Sue Green lead us through the maze of city streets to Westfield. We then took 102 for a nice autumn drive up the scenic River Road, and home safely. All and all we had a lot of fun and a beautiful day of touring for 15 cars and 30 Fabacians.
Thank-you all,
Jim B.
