Starting at about 9 AM we’ll meet at the Tim Hortons in the 5200 block of Walker Rd., at the corner of Walker and North Talbot Rd. in Windsor.

To get to the Tim Hortons from the Tunnel, turn right on Park, right on Goyeau and left on Wyandotte St. Continue on Wyandotte until a few blocks past the Kildare House and turn right on Walker.

To get there from the Bridge continue down Huron Church Rd., which turns into Hwy 3, until you hit Walker Rd. Turn left on Walker and the Tim Hortons is several blocks down on the right.

We’ll try to leave the Tim Hortons before 10 AM and caravan out to the Canadian Transportation Museum (formerly Heritage Village), just outside Essex, Ontario.

There are usually only a few other British cars there, making us unique among the hot rods and antique cars that have numbered as high as 500 in the past. The cars are parked among the historic buildings of the village. If you wish bring some lawn chairs, and a picnic lunch or you can purchase food at the site. There will be a flea market with parts mainly for American Cars, but some items are generic, and you never know what you may find.

There are some new attractions this year, namely a ‘50s diner, and an Emergency Medical Museum, featuring classic ambulances, emergency lights and sirens and a 1930s Supertest service station.  

Later, in mid afternoon, if members are interested we can head over to the Dairy Freeze in Northridge for ice cream and sundaes etc. The Dairy Freeze is a real ‘50s drive-in that against all odds has remained a popular venue ever since.

It is not far from Highway #3 that leads back to the Bridge and Tunnel. It is about a 20-minute drive to the Bridge.

Come on out, and bring your car for a test run before the trip to MG 2006.
