Nardo:

Nice pics - especially the shot with Fort Niagara NY in the background.

Now that you have been to the Niagara Pennisula I would recommend reading The Civil War Of 1812 by Alan Taylor which covers a lot of the War of 1812 battles that took place in the area. Great book on a war largely forgotten by US historians but very much a part of Canadian history. Nice to see that the US author acknowledges ..."Of course , Canadians remember what Americans primarily forget, celebrating their victory as a David over the American Goliath,..."

I'm busy, so I can't make it. Beside that's a 3,330 mile drive! Tough to do on such short notice. Give the Bro Jimmy a big Italian hug for me.

Please ask Howie if he would send me another Lucas License Plate frame. Need to match my Fusion with my GT.

Thanks, Jeff

Update, plans have begun planning the European part of the trip.......
This is a very large undertaking as the small items are the biggest hurdle.......
Just got off the phone with Grundy's , Jim is a long time friend........he thinks we can do it....:thumbsup
Any suggestions or ideas, please pm......
Shipping by Boat is far less costly but a longer time span.......
Hopefully by the time Amelia comes and goes we will be completely booked and done for the other side of the pond!
Before that we must have another weekend at the barn for service and photo shoots........I just got a call from the GTGUYS.......
Hows late april mid may for the barn this year......have a big send off and away we go..............
Remember we have the lift and they can do anything when they arrive in New York...........
Pm guys if those dates look good.............enjoy gtjoey1314:thumbsup
