We had our annual Fall Colour Tour today.  Richard arranged for beautiful weather and we had a wonderful drive out to Silver Islet to take in the Spectacular fall scenery.  We finished up at Karens Kountry Kitchen for a late lunch.  Here are a few shots from the day.

Clark's Turbine Tech Session, March 27th

Hello All,
You are invited to tour the Bearskin Airlines Turbine Shop for an up-close look at how a gas turbine engine operates... Given that we are a Vintage Sports Car Club special emphasis will be on a very special engine, the Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6 free turbine engine as used in the 1967 and '68 Indy STP car. Little do people remember that Pratt and Whitney Canada participated in auto racing! A scale model of the car will be on hand to better relate how this engineering marvel powered this car to lead for the majority of both Indy 500 races...

Given that the Tour will take place in a working airline hanger all participants are asked to meet first at Clark's garage at 743 Porcupine Blvd. at 1pm, park there, and then car pool to Bearskin to stay together as a group on Sunday 27th of March. The tour should be over at approx: 3pm. Best Regards, Clark.

Any one wishing to have a bite to eat before the tour can meet us at Boston Pizza on Arthur at 11.45am.

Chili Buns Tour

Here are a few pictures from the Chili buns tour we ran today.  This is a Social event combined with a little country drive designed to break up the long cold winter.  The bit of snow we had last night made things a little interesting on some of the back roads, but we all made it OK.  

 

Chris and Darleen were the winners of the Trivia Quiz, followed closely by Glen and Donna.  Some of the questions on the quiz were meant to generate conversation, such as what is your dream car.  Others tested your knowledge of sports car trivia.  There were also a few questions  to see if you were paying attention along the route.  Thanks to This Old Barn for Putting on the great Chili Buffet for us.

Chilli Buns Tour
