Default Good Event

Jif,

I plan to attend, and Perry K. usually gets there with his Carrier also. John Hotson and his 30cwt attend, and Gord Yoe is right around the corner with an iltis (or 27).

I spoke to Mack McEwan and he said he will likley drag his bofors gun out, as he did last Sunday in Goderich.

I forgot to ask Albert if he and Walter will get the FAT out, or the 15cwt that looks so nice with its new canvas tarp.

The last few years they have camped there, but with tow behind campers. Their version of 'primative' and yours may differ ... please call Doug Ovens - he is in the book in Ilderton. Please be advised that he has no answering machine, and farms all day long.

See you there.


Stewart

Stewart is it just the one day or the whole weekend. Im going to be in Amhersburg that weekend.

p.s. Keep clear of any wooden (actually any kind) of fence posts. They are to remain in the upright position and not under the tracks of a certain **cough** (your) **cough** T-16

Thanks for the heads up Stewart. Barring any catastrophic events, I'll be there with my carrier. Will touch base with Tommy and see if he will be coming with his KL.

Default And what an outstanding KL it is

I thought that I would put this in here since you mentioned his name...
When I was in London a couple of weeks ago I met Tommy Allen and had a wonderful visit. He is an extraordinary gentleman with an equally extraordinary vehicle.

If you see him please say hi to him for me and Bill M as well.

Default Tommy is well, but that old Ford ...

... was a bit low on energy. We met up with Tommy 99% of the way to the show at the side of the road with a welding rod and some sandpaper fixing the generator on 1 of the 2 flatheads on his truck. He got it going and headed for his garage for a permanent fix. He likely enjoyed the pleasant weather that day, but missed a nice dinner and dog races!

My wife snapped a picture of the MV gang that was there.

PS - what a nice tarp on Albert's C15a!

Default Silver Creek 2010

Gents,

Doug Ovens has invited us all over to the annual Silver Creek Steam Show to be held Saturday 07Aug10 at his gravel pit.

Bring your military vehilce and drive it around the picturesque setting, have a hamburger and see a steam thrashing machine, old cars and tractors - and all of your friends from the London area.

A good time is guaranteed - or double your money back!

See you there about noonish.

Call me for details.


Stewart
