Great week-end south of the border

Post by vincent9993 »

We're still knee deep in snow up here in Montreal with this winter that will not end. It goes without saying that both buggies are still in storage but France and I still had the opportunity to re-unite for a quick beer with a few friends.

Although no Dune Buggies actually came out for the occasion, we were able to get a few shots of "Flat Buggy" in Farmer John's B-Day occasion!

We met up with Keith, John and Matt at the Intrepid Air & Space museum and I must admit I was a little overwhelmed by the surreal events being portrayed about life on board the Essex class carrier and the re-enactment of the kamikaze attacks. To honor the men that fought and lost their lives on this ship, we only saw it fitting to go have a drink in their honor (and John's B-Day of course) at the Pony Bar in Hell`s Kitchen. We were also happy to have Ron meet us and have a few cold ones with us. Again, flat buggy made a few distinguished appearances.

Here are a few pictures from our week-end.

Had a great week-end, thanks to our good friends!

I found out Vincent & France were in town and was able to set up a last minute meet up of Myself , Keith & Ron with them .
I was able to get some free passes to visit the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier (Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum) ,
the same class of carrier that Bruce was on , anyway while we were there Keith presented them with some trial art work that he had made.
We called it "Flat Buggy" following the theme of Flat Stanley . We started Flat Buggy off on his adventure in NY City
and now he's across the border in Canada where I'm sure Vincent & France will keep us posted on his travels and adventures
with pictures and stories .
