Elle Va!

Here is a movie of our first view of Kelvin and his Westfield in motion:

  It was presumptuous of us to assume that last weekend's run was the last of the season, as ten cars showed up at Kelvin's place Sunday afternoon under reasonably warm and sunny skies to escort his Westfield on its maiden voyage.  With the low white skateboard in the lead, we wandered up north along the 102 and stopped for a bit at the (closed for the season) Moonlight Restaurant to call Alex and Lise and warn them of our imminent arrival in Nackawic.  Once at the home of the world's largest axe, we stopped for tee & pee and chatted.  We may have made some new members as we talked for some time to a gent who has a Mini and is in the process of restoring a Karmann Ghia ("Wow, great car!").   We finally loaded up in the midst of numerous locals who showed considerable interest in our group and headed back to Freddy on the 105.  The trip was not without incident when John Bowles ran out of gas.  He'd mentioned that his gauge was not working and had a spare gas can with him so the stoppage was (thankfully) brief.  Although the skies had clouded over and the temperature was dropping, I found the trip home much more enjoyable than the trip up as the 105 is a gorgeous piece of road.

Perhaps you didn't know........Jim B. celebrated his birthday ( a big number) on 23 Oct., so for him to host this outing on his special day should deserve a special mention. Top up his washer fluid perhaps!
