Thanks guys, it was a pretty good show. Long distance (member) came from North Saanich, BC. Temp wise it was about 25C which was perfect. The last few shows have been in the 30's and it's too hot.

2011 is our 20th anniversary (of the club) and we'll have new t-shirts and other anniversary stuff. Entry fee is worth the door prises won. Everybody entered wins a door prise. Only one year (2009) did we run out of door prises as more people showed up than we expected. This year again, all participants will receive mini Oldsmobile artwork with a display easel...as long as we don't exceed 75 cars.

Sounds like a good incentive to register early. I'm in (again). Won't have the 455 ready by then, but there will be some improvements to the car. Looking forward to it already.

Absolutely you can. Just pick up the phone and dial "1" before your number

And if your car doesnt have wifi or bluetooth, who cares?

Would be glad to see ya. Plan on at least 30 hours if you drive straight through and only stop for gas. I did Calgary to Montreal in 1979 in 36 hours doing just that. I wanted to get home to show my dad the 442 I just bought and couldn't wait to get back. Crazy now that I think of it, but I was young and indestructible. One driver, one 442...36hours, they don't call them "Rockets" for nothing.

If it is a 30 hour drive from Toronto, that should only be a 35 hour drive from Ottawa. Maybe someday.
