Some FABACians might be interested in participating in the 2018 Moss Motoring Challenge. I’ve done so for the past few years and found that it encouraged us to get out for drives and road trips when I might otherwise might have left the Little Blue Car in the garage. The bonus is that each year I get a new hat!

Report on January meeting
First off, I apologize for my tardiness in getting this out.
The first meeting of the year (it's 2018 in case you weren't paying attention) got off to slow but steady start at the Fredericton Inn. Despite a heavy snowfall, many folks made it.

- Gary welcomed all and said some stuff but I mostly forgot what it was since I forgot my notebook at the restaurant.
- oh ya....he asked for a consensus on the Christmas party. We mostly agreed that it went fine, but suggested a different spot. The Freddy Inn was suggested and someone will look into it.
- He also passed around a thank you note from Rotary International in response to our Christmas donation.
- a few folks made New Year's resolutions regarding their car projects. If you were there, you're welcome to harass them as their deadlines approach.
- We chose Luna Pizza for our next meeting (February) and someone will arrange it.
FABAC Meeting January 17th
Reservations made for Regency Room at Fredericton Inn for Wednesday Jan 17.

How about a '1976' TR6 all new Electric?!
This might be the ticket for anyone who wants to save the planet from global warming and still drive a LBC. Would be interesting to know the price, in US$ of course.

Hi Rita-n-Bob,
I guess it's pretty warm down there isn't it. Do they have mosquitoes there?
It's been just fine here with our record breaking cold snap over the holidays. This brought a bunch of snow mixed with rain and high winds (that hit 170 KPH in places). Dianne and I returned from our holiday in Halifax on Monday and were greeted by a glacier on the roof that decided to break loose under the influence of the warm (+11ºC) winds last night. I got to spend the day shoveling the cement-like snow/ice and repairing the deck top in the pounding rain. Thankfully I'd repaired my snowblower this fall and it cleared (barely) the glacial till from the driveway. This had slid off late last night waking us from a deep slumber.
Take care of yourselves and don't spare the sun screen.

Info Request from Ralph
Has anybody here been to the Beaulieu Spring Auto Jumble? I find myself in the neighborhood this May and it is very tempting to join in the fray. Any advice appreciated.
