ONLY 6 ROOMS LEFT!!!

 

Book ASAP if you are planning to attend the Western Meet. From what I hear Penticton hotels are completely full that weekend. It won't be long before the Summerland hotels  (including our hotel) start to get booked up.

Hi there, I have some shift detent plates with hardware available for sale. These go into the horseshoe shifter and are a easy install. When installed these are like a racing shifter and you cant by pass a gear (embarrassing)

They work on the turbo 400 or the turbo 350. they also have a neutral lock out as well. they are fun for racing or just playing around on a cruise. 32.00 USD or 42.00 for non FGMCC members.

I will try to upload a video on how they work, pictures for now.

shipping extra.

I just registered both cars in the Peach City Beach Cruise. I held off a little while since I was not sure if I'd have the 70 interior put back together before the meet. I went ahead and registered both so now I have a deadline for getting the 70 ready.

I spoke with the organizers of the event and they are further ahead on pre-registration than they have ever been with over 400 already registered (the show has a maximum of 800 cars). It has been getting better every year and with Dennis Gage coming with his TV crew it has increased the popularity this year.

Bummer, Looks like summer scheduling conflicts will cause me to miss my second Western Meet in a row......

I had booked a room in anticipation, but now won't need it.  I will be cancelling my reservation.  So, if anyone wasn't able to get a room, mine will be opening up soon.....

 

I will be there with you in spirit and planning to attend in 2018!

Three Months to Go!!!!!!!

 

Only 2 rooms left at the hotel. Book it if you need one.

 

I finally got the 71 out for a cruise to Lakeshore Drive on Sunday where the car show will be held. The beach is already looking good!

9 weeks from today we'll be going for a nice long cruise around a few lakes, visiting a few viewpoints, having a nice lunch and stop for ice cream. Then Pizza at the hotel in the evening.

 

For those of you attending without a Monte, there will be a few seats for passengers available so you can participate.
