Here are a few photos from our wonderful afternoon with Larry and Sandi.
Saturday at the Larry and Sandi's
If I had a single word to describe our day at Larry and Sandi's it would be "fantastic". If a physician were to prescribe a remedy to help us get back to some form of post pandemic normality it would be the day we had here. It was so so good to see friends, to be able to share stories, to laugh and joke and just to experience a fun part of life again. They provided us that opportunity and helped us heal.
We were greeted with open (non touchy) arms followed by the opportunity to play all kinds of wonderful games, great quizzes, there was nostalgic music and of course tasty food with no end to all of the desserts!
In addition to all this there were prizes awarded to those that participated in the many activities. The first prize winner Terry J chose the bottle of Heinlein/Byers award winning jam and the second prize winner David N won a bottle of the Heinlein/Byers award winning maple syrup.
You can see Sandi and Larry put a lot of thought and effort into making this event as "fantastic" as it was. It was very much appreciated and so very much needed.
Thank-you from all of us.
Gary and the FABAC bunch
Note: Thanks to Dan and Susan for leading the group and to Chris and others for providing the event pics.
Chris might just become our next official photographer!

Le Mans Cars
If anyone wants to own a Le Mans car, perhaps a Ford GT40, a Ferrari P4 or a Jag Lightweight E-type, here’s their chance.

FABAC Party at Sandi and Larry’s
What: Party and pot-luck supper. Please respond to this posting if you can come and let us what you’re bringing. However, there will be lots of food, so if it’s not convenient, don’t worry about bringing anything. We will provide hamburgers and chicken burgers, corn on the cob (hopefully) and a dessert. We will have our delicious well water to drink. Feel free to bring other beverages. We have about 20 chairs, so if it looks like more people than that will attend, please bring along some chairs, if you have room in your vehicle.
When: Saturday, August 28, 2021 (Rain date, Sunday, August 29, 2021). Leave Fredericton around 3:00, arrive in Stanley about 3:30
Where: 135 Red Rock Road, Stanley. There will be an additional posting detailing where folks will meet to travel together. For those coming out separately, the best route is to take is Killarney Road to Route 148. Follow 148 past Durham Bridge to Taymouth. At Taymouth, turn left onto English Settlement Road. Take English Settlement to Stanley (approximately 14km?). Immediately following the Church at the top of the hill, take a sharp right onto Red Rock Road. We are 1.35 km from the intersection. The names Heinlein/Byers are on the mailbox. N.B. The other end of Red Rock Road intersects with English Settlement several kilometers earlier. DO NOT take that end of the road unless you want to test the off-road capabilities of your vehicle. You should never be on an unpaved road. When you arrive at our home, feel free to drive down to the house and unload before coming back up to park by our shop. If you have mobility issues, please park down by the house.
Theme: There will be a variety of competitive and noncompetitive activities, including croquet, horseshoes, badminton, ladder golf, washer toss, aerobie throw, a quiz, and a walk down to the river. Prizes will be awarded.
Other Information-
1. This will be an outdoor event, so social distancing will be easy if you wish.
2. Sixties music will be played, so if you don’t care for it, feel free to bring ear plugs.
If you need to contact us directly: 367-2443 or Heinlein@unb.ca or Byers@unb.ca.
Important Update:
I would suggest that we start from the parking lot at Kent’s, which is at the corner of Two Nations Crossing just off the Ring Road. That will let us enter Killarney Road/148.

I sold my MG a couple of years ago so I have not been following the blog regularly lately, but also don't want to say I'll never have another LBC.
The fellow to whom I sold the car was unfortunate to hit a soft shoulder last year and wrote it off. The rollbar did its job I'm happy to say!
I still have a 2000 MX5, and dare I say it, a Swiss-made 1966 4-door Corvair!
Regards,
David B.
I was just visiting Penny Short, widow of Tony Short, and she has uncovered 3 Rover engines - 1 mostly complete, 1 for parts, and a third block. I expect these are late 60s and were for his 2000TC. Pics attached.
Do you know anyone in your club that might be interested? Please feel free to forward my contact info.
Otherwise I'm afraid they may end up being scrapped.
Thanks,
Jayson
FABAC August Meeting - Wed Aug 18 - Carleton Park
Let's get together for our August meeting at Carleton Park this Wednesday at 5:30. While Covid protocols have been relaxed (green phase) please be mindful that others are still wearing masks and continue to social distance.
Our event jar is lacking car runs/events for September so we will need ideas and volunteers to take these on.
Hope to see many of you there.
Best,
Gary
