American/Canada Trip
Hey all
Happy to inform all I am going on a much deserved break next week for 4 weeks to the United States and Canada. Will be in New York only for 4 days and then to Canada and a week in Hawaii on way back.
Question is....Can any one recommend motor related activities not to miss in any of the 3 areas?
Will try to get to Factory Five which is about 4 hr drive each way from NY....will see how I go.
Hope to get plenty of motor related photos and will post them on return in Oct.
See ya all on my return
Ian

Hi
not quite what you might have in mind, but we hired a Mustang convertible and did a lap of Oahu. I can recommend that drive...
where are you staying in Hawaii?
Enjoy the trip!
Tony

We staying on maui and big Island. Have seen the convertible Mustangs for hire on Maui and will definitely do that. Hoping to catch up with mate in Toronto with a Backdraft. In NY, would like to visit Factory 5 to see the 289 kit ,if time allows.

Where will you be in Canada? It's a big place.
What dates will you be here?

You just missed the annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit. Trust me, that is something to see if you ever get the chance!

While there are many things available year round, some motoring activities or events are specific to certain dates. What is the timing of your trip, approximate dates in the various locations, etc.?

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

Enjoy the trip Ian. With regard to Hawaii, the wife and I grabbed a Corvette for a day and drove round the island, it was fantastic. A must do in any open top car !
Cheers

PS Also had a little trouble at the airport with my hand luggage, apparently the Detroit soft lock centre was a little bit much.....tipping the scales at 18kg !!

Hi Ian
There are some good drives on Maui too. Up the volcano, and a day trip around to Hana - much less touristy.
We stayed at Kaanapali. A whale watching cruise from there is good to do as well...
Enjoy!
Tony
