Therefore, please let me know if you are able to make it, either by responding on the website, calling me 367-2443, or emailing me Heinlein@unb.ca.

Pictures from the Alfa Romeo Convention

Here are a few pictures from the Alfa Romeo Convention in Montreal that Susan and I attended July 13-16. The blue car is the Alfa Montreal which Alfa introduced at the Montreal Expo in 1967. This example is one of three built with a special competition engine which is shown in the open hood shot. The white sedan is the new Alfa Giulia introduced this year. The other white sedan is a Trabant that I spotted sitting outside a garage.

"Well this happened. following weeks of online research and days of setting up appointments we did a marathon drive to the eastern townships followed by a second marathon run all over the country side to look at half a dozen Rialta units for sale and picked this one. After we agreed on a price we had a long session with the super nice owners going over the unit and hit the road for another marathon drive back home. Gosh this retirement thing can be exhausting."

Picnic Meeting Report by Bob E.

Click on the group and see more fine photos by Bob Earl.
     The July *business* meeting was a hit.  Folks clearly like the idea of a picnic as not only was the turnout huge, we saw a number of folks we haven't seen in awhile. The park was littered with a variety of cars from Alfas to Porsches, with a bunch of LBCs scattered amongst them.   We'll have to do this again—assuming we can get the weather to cooperate.
     Under the warm sun, cooled by a gentle breeze, and lulled by the lapping of the waves on the shore (yes it really truly was that nice), Gary took the floor—er, gazebo.
  • We welcomed Steve from the Antique Auto Club who invited us to the 'Freddy Beach Show'n Shine in September at the Exhibition Grounds.   More information will appear here as the date approaches. 
  • The next meeting (August 16) will be at Rita & Bob's place on Grand Lake. All are asked to bring salads or appetizers.  The date will be announced. 
  • The Stanley Fair is the weekend of the 18th.  This is always a great event for us and all are urged to attend. 
  • The Canada Day parade in Stanley was a hit with all who participated.
     Other points:
     Once the official business was dispensed with we oohed and ahed at Terry's new knee and promised to help Kelvin with unloading the Land Rover from the trailer.  There's lots of potential for injury with this one so keep 911 close on your phones.
     There were plenty of stories from the Windsor car show this past weekend. It keeps getting better and better.
