Starting at about 8:00 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.

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. However, the easiest way is to take the Bridge. 

From the Bridge continue down Huron Church Rd., which turns into Hwy 3, until you hit Walker Rd. You will pass a large cemetery on the right and Walker Rd. is the next traffic light. Turn left on Walker and the Tim Hortons is 2 blocks down on the right.

We’ll leave Tim Hortons at 9 AM and caravan out to the Canadian Transportation Museum (formerly Heritage Village), just outside Essex, Ontario.  This is an hour earlier than previous years so that we may get a better choice in parking location.  We'll even drive through some famous Essex County towns such as Paquette Corners, MacGregor, and Gesto, my home town. If you wish to drive straight to the show follow Hwy 3 East and turn right on to Arner Townline, which is just past the town of Essex. The museum address is 6155 Arner Townline.

There are usually a few other British cars there besides us, making our cars unique among the

hot rods and antique cars that have numbered as high as 600 in the past. It's a great way to

promote British cars to the masses. The cars are parked among the historic buildings of Heritage

Village and we usually have our own area. If you wish, bring some lawn chairs, and a picnic

lunch or you can purchase food at the site. There will be a good sized flea market with parts

mainly for American cars, but some items are generic, and you never know what you may find.

On the site there is a ‘50s diner which is serving a buffet style breakfast till noon, a Checker Flag Raceway Tribute, CKLW Radio and Television tribute, 19th century to present transportation museum, and much more.

Admission is $10 per show vehicle (includes occupants.)

Later, in mid afternoon, if members are interested we can head over to the Dairy Freeze in

Northridge for ice cream and sundaes etc. A vintage drive in, the Dairy Freeze opened in 1958

and against all odds has remained a popular venue ever since.

It is not far from Highway #3, which 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 long drives of

summer. My cell phone number is in the membership directory, so remember to bring it along

in case you need assistance.
