Tino, you're ridin' with me, oui?

I would be in but can't make it this year. Let me know in 2014. One of the BEST time I ever had with my Pantera was Kingston..!

I'm in! I'll ping some of the new guys that aren't on the forums yet to see if they're interested too.

Carmello is in.

Would love to be in but not quite there, unless you guys think the wooden mock up I have in place of the radiator will keep the engine cool all the way to Kingston)) Next year for sure...Burn some rubber for me..

Im in! give me details?
Matt

Don't you know the expression: "Only good excuse is a funeral...yours"

Ok joke we'll miss ya !

Were going to meet at an A&W on the 401. No need to drive all the way into Kingston. Lots of parking there too.
Be there. Don't be gay.

OK!what time do we want to meet in Kingston? Are the GTAA guys going to meet somewere to head down together? Long term weather says sunny.

Matt

We can meet up somewhere and drive out together. Where do you live?
Send me a text or email and we can arrange.
Will

Man, it was great to get out for a longish ride yesterday. Carmen and I headed west early morning to meet up with our Ontario bros and say hi to 2 new Pantera owners. One of them on his maiden voyage.

The ride down was uneventful – a nice, cool, crisp fall day. The cats were eating up the miles. A few cops on the side of the road must have been looking elsewhere when we came upon them – so we lucked out twice! We took it easy after that, not wanting to push our luck.

The cat was awesome, as always, and it was great to spend 5 hrs behind the wheel. It’s been a busy summer and I miss the long rides we used to share.

I shot some great in-car video on the way there and back – with my new GoPro software operated from my iPhone. Messing with it gives you something to pass the time when you’re reduced to 20 kph over the limit looking for smokies.

Sadly, all the great video I shot was for nothing – everytime I thought I was turning it on, I was actually turning it off.

It was great meeting Matt and seeing Fred’s car finally on the road. And it’s always nice to hang out with Will, Russ, Mark, Denis and Carm.

Anyhow, this post is JUST A REMINDER to push the real photographers in our group to post some pics from the day.

Mark? Russ?

Yep, great day out in the cat. Couldn't have asked for better weather.Sunny and not too hot. Car was running great. Toasted a Viper on the way home. My ears are still ringing.
Good times.

The ride from Ottawa was also much fun. We had the pleasure of finally seeing Fred much awaited car and seeing Matt's too!
Mark and I also had a spirited drive back (OK not as fast as David and Carmen but!). A Testarosa came along and Mark and I tried to play tag but some people have no sense of humour.

To All,

WOW! The Kingston run was awesome!

It was great meeting all the other owners. I didn't think the ride back could beat the ride there. When we came up on that Viper and 458; it felt like Will, Russ and myself were a pack of hungry PANTHERS. It's too bad the 458 was being driven by a corpse! Seeing and hearing Will's weapon in front of that Viper was awesome - I swear there were con-trails coming off Will's car. I don't remember how fast we were going, but I remember seeing a needle and a 12 or something.

I can't stop thinking of the day!

Thanks, guys!

Matt

Yes, it was a perfect day. It started out a bit cloudy and chilly, but when we hit the road the sun came out and stayed with us all day. The cats just love driving in cool air. Having the windows open when the air is cool makes it even better!

It was great to see Fred again and to be part of his first high-speed test run after a couple of years of major surgery on his car. It ran beautifully and looked great running down the highway.

But of course we arrived last. The guys were already checking out details and telling stories when we wedged ourselves into the parking lot.

I'm pretty sure that this A&W parking lot has never looked better!

It was great to see Carmen again. Seems like it's been ages, but also yet almost like it was yesterday since we all did the Rocky Mountain tour. We had a fun remembering what a great time we had during that week of driving through the Rockies together.

It was great to meet Matt and see his very nice and mostly stock '72. I really liked his 17" wheel done in the stock-looking argent finish.

I debated which Pantera to bring and David was kind enough to point out that for variety of color I should leave the white car behind and bring my modified blue car.

Of course, everyone checked out everyone else's cars and work in great detail, as usual...

All too soon it was time to start heading back for home. David and Carmen were the first to go. David waved us all goodbye as he nailed the gas.

As Denis noted, he and I played cat & mouse (or perhaps more appropriately, cat and big, fat, oblivious red stick) with a 512TR on the road home. Clearly there are Ferrari owners and there are CAR GUYS...

What a great day. I can't wait for the Montebello run in two weeks!

Looks like you guys had a great day out. Nice pix.

Sounds like quite the adventure.

Rocky

In Marks pic, 4 posts above, who's the bloated dwarf talking to Fred and Carm?

AWESOME..!
