Default Going for a drive Sunday to Forks and Hockley Valley

If anyone wants to join me, I'll be at the Tim Hortons on Mavis and Central Parkway, aka CDN Wolfs Timmies, at 10am with a 11am depart time.

Nice leisurely cruise up to the Forks with a pit stop and then up to the Hockley General store with another pit stop in Orangeville.

Don't bother. Nobody from the dealership showed up. Everyone here is leaving.

Don't you guys get tired of being "so easy" ?? : everytime someone or some group snaps their fingers asking car guys to show up for some goofy *** "show" they want to put on.

Screw that nonsense ; some of us have (better things) more to do in life than stand around in parking lots for someone else's benefit.

Before the **** storm starts - don't take offense about what I said (if I lived at "home" I'd probably look at it differently) - that is just the way I feel after many years observation LOL

So easy??? What does that mean?

It just so happens that my wife had an appointment at 10 this morning, therefore were unable to meet for the cruise.

Not wanting to squander a beautiful day, my wife and I decided that we would check out this show. It would be a nice drive over for us and we would get the opportunity to soak up the sun AND she could photograph some of the cars - a bit of a passion - not that any of this is anyone's business.

Sorry I suggested something so crazy. Heaven forbid I check to see if any forum friends (not sure i even know you) might want to hang out a bit after they were done their cruise.

Not pissed. Stuff happens. We would have gone on the cruise if we could. Still making a nice day of it. Roof off driving on a beautiful day is where it's at.

Hey Rob. Sorry to hear the show was cancelled. I just got home a few minutes ago. I had planned to take everyone over after Hockley but Mike texted me and Randy about the show. Any news what happened?

So I had a few people join me today for the cruise thru the Forks and up to Hockley. Here are my pics from my GoPro Hero3 camera. Going to go thru my videos and see if there's anything worth posting. It was a beautiful day for a drive. Thanks for coming out everyone.

I need to figure out a way to secure my GoPro to my car so I can attach it to record what's behind me. Pretty boring watching me drive on the streets by myself.

However, for something a little different, I did have the camera recording while we were sitting at the table getting our food. I sped up the film to 2x normal.

I'll try and put up something of the drive. Editing video is lots of work.

I really enjoyed this day Stan so thank you and what a perfect lunch it was with us all being able to sit together. Meant to say when we were all leaving, this would be a great cruise idea to do in the Fall when the trees are all changing their colors - Maybe something to think about ??? That winding road would be extra beautiful in the Fall time ...
