Woods Racing

So ya, Wed we got back…kind of unpacked..but since Thursday was Canada Day I had to get the dune buggy prepped for the parade!

Now, incase ya’ll haven’t seen this work of art, it’s a 1961 VW SuperBeetle, and in lieu of a body, I gotz rollcages and padding. Powered by a 1600cc Type 1 motor, it’s an absolute hit.

Thursday morning we got it packed up, hitched up, and hit the road.

Every year we take part in this parade from Dorval Circle to Ste.Anne’s all along the Lakeshore. It’s great fun.

As we parted from the parking lot..I was all about 15 feet when the cherries came on behind me…and pulled over is what I got:

Guess I just had a couple too many Canadian Flags for these French only officers.

After bickering about this and that, and getting a french lecture about how I should run my life, we we’re finally off to catch up to the others.

Here’s some shots:

Well, haven’t had a chance to update in a couple days..been quite hectic around here.

Let’s see, where did I leave last time…right…Monday..

Well…tuesday morning we hit the road..and headed north. We found our way up I69 and decided to stop in a museum …star cars and all. The General Lee, Batmobile, both Knight Riders…I was great!

They had everything from horse drawn carriages, to early firetrucks, of course the Hollywood cars, all the way up to latest nascar and drag car stuff. I also spotted some cool lapping cars as well…they had it all!

We made crossed the border, (sans earthquake this time) and we planned on going camping on the Niagara Escarpment…but…the surprising weather made us change our minds. We stopped for gas in Milton, and QUICKLY realized it was only 11 degrees. Seriously..in Canada…it’s like that haha. So we grabbed a Motel 6, some dinner and crashed out.
