There will be a wine tour for sure. We always get a good turnout and lots of nice places to visit. Do you have any other preferences or ideas? Distance, theme (e.e rally, treasure-hunt, etc)?
Sorry for this delayed response Ed. I have yet to partake in any of the SAAB drives – something always comes up! And sadly July 19th won’t work for me either. 🙁
I like the routes you usually pick out since I’m assuming most of the enthusiasts are from GTA. I live in Brantford and I suggest the following scenic drive to Port Burwell that has a very nice beach and an actual submarine that you can get a tour of (charges apply). You drive along the lake and pass by myriad of windmills. It truly is a gorgeous drive but it might be too long for some folks.
The Lake Erie shore is a great drive. Our fall colours tour a couple of years ago went from Dunville to Port Dover. Our drives are usually on Sunday because that’s the day the most people are available. We’re looking at different events that may happen Saturday as well. Another nice drive is to follow the Grand River from its source down to Lake Erie. That’s most of a day’s drive, so I am wondering how to do it and how popular it might be. (I’ve done this quite a few times.)
Hi Ed,
Any plans for a spring/summer drive this year?
Thanks

I hope to make it out to the fall drive (counting my fingers)!!

Hi Aseem;
The Lake Erie shore is a great drive. Our fall colours tour a couple of years ago went from Dunville to Port Dover.
