Really looks Baaaadd....you know it that gooood way. Nice car!
Went for a real nice drive the other day. Hubby Steve & I love to hop in one of our fun/classic cars and go somewhere for lunch..... but the somewhere is almost always a long way away. This time we left our place, avoiding the highways and meandered our way across south central Ontario to Goderich which is on the shore of Lake Huron (our home is 10 miles away from the shore of Lake Ontario). Goderich is a pretty town with the Courthouse Park in the center of the town with the roads splaying out like spokes on a wagon wheel from that. Many of you know if you Google Map a destination you can click the 'nearby' tag and ask for restaurants: which is what I did to find West Street Willy's Eatery (4.5 stars out of 5 - great food at a good price) - which after choosing that as our destination I discovered that this place was featured on 'You Gotta Eat Here' which is a Canadian TV show similar to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives'. I should have taken the photo from the other side as the restaurant was behind me. Steve had been driving at this point.

Anyways, had a great drive, stopped at the West Montrose Covered Bridge where we have stopped many times in the past in different vehicles, but the first time (I believe) in the XLR. Steve hopped out and took these photos while I waited patiently: Hoping that someone did not suddenly drive up and want me to move!

Also snapped a pic of a Car dealer/tire shop in Stratford, Ontario (home of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival and Justin Beiber: but don't hold that against me) where they stacked tires and painted them up like Minions. (I was driving so that is the best photo I got...lol)

A wonderful day of driving: round trip was around 250 miles (400 klms), Awesome: just what XLR's are designed for!
... I kill me....
There should be over 30 XLRs if not more but more importantly, great owners willing to meet you. From Ft Worth it BG, Ky is approximately a 11 hour drive. But driving an XLR you should shave off at least 5 hours. Little less than 4 weeks away (Sep 25-29). Plenty of hotels rooms and see you there. Welcome aboard perhaps.Time to make the pilgrimage to the home of the XLR in Bowling Green, Ky for the XLR reunion. The 1st reunion was at the 10 year point in 2013 and this one in 2018. Not many reunions. They also manufacture another auto in BG but for the life of me, I can't remember the make.
