Chocolate and Wine tour and the CURVEN8R meets ELIMIN8R B)
We just had a great weekend here in Southern Ontario. It was almost as chilly as in Florida ;) at 50 F on Saturday and hit 62F on Sunday.
We had a get-together of a 996, 997 cab (Burg Boxster from PA) and ourselves in the CURVEN8R, in Niagara-On-The-Lake.
We all met Saturday morning, drove into NOTL for a bit of browsing around and then had lunch at a great oven fired pizza place. Then we headed out for a scenic drive with a few Boxster roads thrown in and made our first stop at a little family run chocolate factory where we bought (and of course enjoyed) a few of their products.
Parked near the chocolate store.
Some reds just look better than others.

Then we continued on for a few more fun roads and ended up at a winery right on Lake Ontario.

After sampling some of the local wines, we headed back to the hotel for a great dinner and catching up on news with old friends. One of the couples had to head back home, but the other two were good to go for another day. ......almost.
Saturday morning, when I started the CURVEN8R. Pedro's Technovolt showed red. ..oh,oh. Car started fine, but it didn't quite sound the same as usual, but was fine for the rest of the day's driving.
Sunday morning, again that red light. Inserted the key and twisted .R..R..R..VROOM. OK got it started, but big Oh, Oh! ::o So we went to breakfast and I parked the CURVEN8R at the top of a little hill in the parking lot - just in case. Came out after breakfast. Got in, twisted the key. R....lights and nother else. Tried ones once more R.. .
Thank goodness for hills and manual transmissions. Let it roll down the hill, popped the clutch in 2nd and VROOOM. So we checked around and found a Canadian Tire store which had a replacement battery in stock. We drove over and with Burg Boxster's help, we switch out the old battery with a new ELIMIN8R battery. Fired it up, reset the windows and PSM and we were happy campers again. :D
That gave us a chance to head back into NOTL where we saw a couple of old goldies.
