Ian,

Unfortunately the timing of your visit to Canada doesn't really coincide with any big car events that I'm aware of. You're just missing a couple of good ones in the Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Sep 13-14 (Sat-Sun), and British Car Day in Bronte Park, Oakville, Sep 21 (Sun). And all of the big racetracks -- Mosport, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Mont Tremblant, Sanair, Trois-Rivieres, Calabogie and Shannonville -- are pretty quiet during your dates here.

Fortunately, your dates in New York state coincide with a fantastic event: namely the U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen NY, Sep 3-7 (Wed-Sun). I highly recommend it, if you can make it.

While you're in the Toronto area, be sure to visit Legendary Motorcar Co. in Milton ON which is just a short drive west along Hwy 401. They always have some original Cobras there, and maybe you can arrange for a shop tour too.

I'm not sure what car events are going on in Vancouver mid September.

Hope you have a great visit,

Brian
