Seventeen cars started out from the Fall River Timmys on Friday morning heading to the British Car Days Across the Bridge on PEI, stopping for lunch near Port Howe at a beautiful cottage owned by friends of Charlie and Joan Lane. Most of us arrived by 4 PM at our accommodations. The Saturday show was held on the beautiful Charlottetown waterfront followed by an unbelieveable hot buffet at Shaw's Hotel near Brackley Beach.
Sunday consisted of a British Breakfast at U.P.E.I. (ran out of food I believe) and a tour to Rocky Point and lunch back at the Confederation Centre for the Arts. A few of us missed the tour and lunch as the tour started out earlier than the scheduled 11 AM and got lost in the normal traffic around Charlottetown.
Here are a few images from this excellent event as seen through the camera lenses of Nancy Cleveland and others.

Drew Sperry's TR3 was not running properly heading home across the Confederation Bridge so it was decided to flatbed it home instead of risking a total failure. It appeared like a fuel starvation problem which is being looked into at Peter Osborne's Village Green Motor Car Company in Halifax.
