Ian..
CMP's and ROT(Rusty Old Truckers)er's are gender insensitive...
There is no initiation or qualifying test and all are welcome at our gather up's which are generally a precursor to following gather ups..of bigger and better proportions..The more the merrier..
Anyway ..it is Wed 10 March..
The 18 at 5 PM is not that far off so when ever you are in Ottawa ,post here and we will find you..
I'm sure Jif and Sally will be here..

Default Gracies on 18 Mar or did that revert to the 10th?

After Alex's post yesterday I'm confused. One date is next week, the other has already passed.

I'll bring my shadow-boxing spotlight-dancing youngster son. He won't be any competition for the waitresses for Young Law.

Jeez Terry..I went all through the postings to see if there was any mention of being booked in at Gracies on the 10th March and couldn't find one reference..
I sure as hell must have slept through it if there was..
Anyway here it is again..Gracies..18th March..
1700HRS..
Rob knows what the big and little hand mean now..
See you then Glad your little lad is coming..I can see him dipped in grease before the summer is done..Just the right size too to use as a pull through..for those hard to get spots..
See you next Thursday ..18th March..

Alex, you are a lucky man to have such a young wife! But sharing her salt intolerance problems is a bit too much information.

For all the Rotters, I have to cancel out from THIS THURSDAY at Gracie's. And you are all welcome for the entertainment.

Default It was nice meeting you.

I would not like to let this thread die without saying what a pleasure it was to meet Ian and Carol. It was a small crowd but those present found an abundance of topics to discuss and new friendships were made. All this was thanks to MLU.
MLU is more than a website.... it is a family bulletin board where like minded individuals meet and make their dreams come true.

Default Too busy lately,

I have a photo of Ian, but it isn't all that good. It makes Ian look a little saintly...

I echo Guy's sentiments, and note that we were in the presence of a high quality restorer. Ian brought a photo album of the vehicles he owns or owned. All were truly well restored and well maintained. All I could say was "Wow"...

The ladies of Gracies were of course very nice to look at - and don't ask for photos - come to the next meet and look for yourselves...

Default Many Thanks for the hospitality

I would like to thank Alex, Guy, 'Mr HUP' and other ROTers that dropped in at Gracies to give both Carol and myself an insight to true Canadian hospitality and introduction to several new dishes.

The final numbers of attendees was not necessarily that great, but the conversation, warmth of a common interest and general banter made up for it all and the evening flew by in a flash. If any of you are ever across the great pond and find yourselves lost for a place to share more stories over a meal and invitation to accommodation, just use the forum.

As mentioned by Guy it was the likes of this 'chance meeting' that only became possible because of MLU, keep up the good work Geoff and sorry to have missed you. Alex, thank you for making the booking and for a memorable night from both Carol and myself.

Ian

Ian..
I was truly pleased that you and Carol were able to make it and enjoyed meeting and gabbing with you both..The introduction of Deep Fried Dill pickles and sweet potato fries went over well ..
You certainly seemed familiar with the Guinness.and did not need an intro ..
WE are looking forward to your next trip to see your son ..
I was impressed with our time together and would gladly introduce round two..
A fun time was had by all and know that those who missed our gather up missed an opportunity to meet a really cool and lovely couple..
Alex..
