HERE are some teaser pics from last year's run of this cruise...

Hey Nick.............the weather better hold out for this one. Was looking forward to the last one but got rained out. This is a beautiful run and won't miss it.

We'll be coming Nick, too bad about the last one......Lothar & Fran

Nick,
This is the only Fiero event my wife gets excited about - let's hope we get great weather like last year.
Gene & Sandi

Hey Nick,
I think that meeting at my house as I suggested would be a GREAT idea. How's coffee and goodies on the back patio sound (weather permitting). Otherwise we would have to settle for the front porch.
Lothar & Fran,
10 Seville Court,
Stoney Creek,On

Let me know if that's o.k with everyone.....Lothar

Can I come, can I come???? Seriously we are hoping to make this one if you guys will have us

We're in and I'll meet at Lothar's
Nick - first one looks like Hernders, which one was second last year?

I think if we want to hang out for a while, talk and visit, before the drive......then I'd say 9:00AM. I'll leave that call to you though, we're here anyway. Let's hope for GREAT weather like we've had in the past.........Lothar

we 1st drop in at Vineland Estates then Herdner's afterwards...the optional stop is at Konzelmann's later...

Directions:
From whichever direction your coming from...Niagara, Toronto, or Hwy 403:
Take the QEW towards Hamilton/Stoney Creek and get off at Fruitland Road. Follow Fruitland Road towards the escarpment (south), until you get to the lights at Hwy #8. Turn right at Hwy #8 and go to the next set of lights at Dewitt Road. Turn left at Dewitt Road (heading towards the escarpment again). The second street on your left is Midway. Turn left there, and then your first right is Seville Court #10. Hoping for lots of Fieros in the driveway for pictures.....Lothar

Thanks guys it was a great day even if the sun didn't shine







Again we had a great time. Thanks to Lothar and Fran for putting on a nice spread in the a.m. and thanks to OHNIKO for for planning and leading these cruises every few weeks. Next one is Oct. 5

Well it was a wonderful full day of cruising with great friends. This is one of the favorite cruises of the year. Here are some pictures I took for your enjoyment





























We had a special treat at one of the wineries when we met the owner who is a car guy and he took us to his private garage to show us his collection. I would like to thank Mr Hernder of (Hernder Estate Wines) for taking us to his man cave, as Gene named it.


A beautiful 1959 Corvette pictured above along with (1958 Chevy Impala, Corvair, 1973 Beetle convertable & another Chevy in progress) I know some of the other cruisers got pictures of all the cars I hope they post them)

Thanks Nick and everyone for coming down and making it a GREAT day for Fran & I.....can't wait for the next cruise.....Lothar

what made it a success was the company, the hosts & the attendees!

I'll re-iterate the big thanks to Fran & Lothar for their hospitality at their wonderful home. It was worth seeing Lothar's garage on it's own!

The private collection, wine tasting & lunch was good too. Too bad we didn't get as much sun as called for, (complaint has been filed).

bonus: no one got lost!

The Niagara portion went well too afterwards. I hope everyone got home safely & didn't get reamed out for being late !

I have some pics to come when i get around to down/uploading them.

see you at the next one, link is forthcoming...

I've missed alot of cruises working up north, looks like another great turn out. Well took my own little cruise on highway 17 from North Bay to Hagar. Would have been better if I had 10 fiero's following me



found this though on my drive

------------------

Very nice, part of the joy of owning a Fiero is spending time on a twisty road with good frends. Add to that a bottle of the grape and your best friend in the other seat and that is heaven.

Thanks Lothar and Nick as excellent hosts for this event and everyone who supported it by participating.
As a Niagara local, I decided to follow Nick all the way to Fort Erie - and yes the sun did come out
Thanks for the gas pitstop as well - I figure about $50 spent on that cruise and worth every penny!
Don't forget the lunch - one of my favourite parts as it gave us time to catch up and chat.

Ryan

Here's my pics:























Cheers

The 328 GTS in the driveway belongs to me (Gene) gaas88 is my Pennock's handle
The Testarossa belongs to a friend (Paul) - he doesn't post on Pennock's

328 GTS has 3800 SC 1 with a 4 speed auto 4T60 transmission
Testarossa has 3800 SC II with a Muncie 4 speed manual

Both cars are perfectly detailed as you can see - we both have the Fiero interiors

Thanks for asking
