The Red Rivs first Car Event
27 Oct 2006 14 Software Engineering Squadrons Annual Car Ralley(The Bugout Ralley)up for grabs - Bragging rights - $50 in Canadian Tire gifts -
and the Bugmobile Trophy (which someone forgot to bring to the presentations)
lets get this thing rolling its been 15 minutes since I got to drive my Red Riv
and the Red Riv is off on her first car event,
We travelling down the Valley over the hills to the bay Fundy searching cleaverly concealed hints and elusive clues getting all but one - plus the two we missed because we can't count very good
In the end we had a great day saw some new sites travelled 50 miles in great old car as the fall leaves fell.
The other teams had
a Mini van, Toyota Echo
, Chevy Malibu and some blue thing that was so uninteresting I dont know what it was
Bet they didn't get any thumbs up along the way but the Red Riv sure did about 1 every two miles.
Picture of both my baby's - man Iam a lucky guy. I got a hard time because I made people wipe thier feet and wouldn't drive down a dirt road - The Red Riv was dubbed the car that wouldn't run run on gravel. They got that right it will never be on a dirt road or in the rain If I can help it, When get someone or something this nice - ya gotta look after them.
