Starting at about 9:00 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. There is a detour around construction at the railway crossing near the Chrysler plant. The start of the detour will have you turning left onto Tecumseh, after that, follow the other detour signs and you should be OK. 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 10 AM and caravan out to the Canadian Transportation Museum (formerly Heritage Village), just outside Essex, Ontario. We’ll even drive through my hometown of Gesto, which I’ve mentioned a few times in some my articles - don’t look down at your temperature gauge or you might miss it!

If you wish to drive straight to the show follow Hwy 3 East and turn right on to Arner town line, which is just past the town of Essex. The museum address is 6155 Arner town line.  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 500 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, an Emergency Medical Museum, a Checker Flag Raceway Tribute, a 1930s Supertest service station, 19^th century to present transportation museum, and much more.

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 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 long drives of summer.

My cell phone number is in the membership directory, so remember to bring it along in case you need assistance.
