The drive was pleasant and John's suggested alternate route only caused me to make one wrong turn, quickly indicated by numerous blowing horns and blinking headlights. The 124 is a great road being both scenic and in excellent condition, a rare combination in this province. It's too bad that we have to follow some fairly bad roads to reach it.
The gang from Moncton were already seated when we arrived but had kept plenty of spots for us. The restaurant was almost devoid of other diners leaving us plenty of room to stretch out. Once orders had been placed, Ovide and I did our best to sound official as we exchanged club swag. Long-lost FABACian, Ernst Vangroenwood was welcomed back into the fold with promises of presents when he finishes restoring his early Series 1 E-Type.
After dinner, the drizzle had let up, giving us the opportunity to venture outside to chat and admire the cars a bit.
We then all departed for home via several different routes. I picked up highway 1 in Sussex and headed towards Saint John with a takeout order for Dianne filling the car with Teutonic smells. Despite my deep seated hatred of highways, I found this section to be most enjoyable. The route was nicely hilly and curvy with great scenery making for an entertaining drive. The colourful and broken clouds masking a setting sun, certainly helped set a relaxing mood.
Thanks to all who participated.
