We managed to maintain a max speed of 75kph. all the way along Hgway 7 to Madoc , you thought it was bad being passed by a smart car, never have I had the embarassment of being passed by a 25ft long RV while driving my baby but it is what it is - the pedal was to the floor and it's all I had. Now approaching Marmora suddenly all systems jump to life ,I now have power .. what a feeling .. bout 4 kilometers later I pass one of Kawartha Lakes finest and yes I was moving a little quick at this point and yes he did make a U turn and hauled me over .. 118 in an 80 ... whoops . All I can do is thank my dear wife Luce for laughing at me so hard the officer couldn't help but notice ,which he was very quick to point out to me "Hey did you know she's laughing at you" , that he cut me some slack and dropped it to 109 only cost me $138 + 3pts. Lets just say it was a hell of a trip home !!!
Once again I would like to thank the whole group on the run that stopped along side and offered help when I broke down in Carp at start of the run. We had an awesome time even though it was short and sweet.
Count us in for the next run ( hopefully with better luck )
Neil and Lucille

Neil:
Funny story the way you tell it.
Too bad your car had troubles, and right before the Carp road. I've been on that road myself, and it can get the heart pumping. Sounds like the entire weekend was a lot of fun -- too bad I couldn't attend. Hopefully we'll catch up with you and Lucille at another run soon.
Roy.
P.S. Ditto for the rest of the SSOOO folks -- hope to see you at the next run.
