Every year at the end of August, Nation wide, the A&W Burger franchise hosts an annual car show, all in an effort to fund raise for Multiple Sclerosis. A portion of the proceeds go to the local MS charities and it usually produces a great response from the local car enthusiasts.
We have had the pleasure of participating for the last two years with lil blue and it has been a wonderful event.
Last year was particularly interesting as a storm brewed above us and as we witnessed the black sky only darken more, we hoped it would blow over.
I am not a huge fan of driving lil blue in torrential downpours, the windows fog, the wipers can't keep up and it leaks a bit on the drivers side. So while my husband tempted fate on his chopper and took off for a cruise with his "crew", I responsibly started making my way home (a full 38km trip). No sooner had I pulled into the yard, did the sky's open and a wall of water hit me. Thank god I had made it back safely. Not so lucky was my husband, who was at one point looking at hiding in a culvert in the ditch, but managed to get his bike to his truck and home in one piece. To this day I don't think I have ever seen anyone wring so much water out of a leather jacket!
For the record, A&W broke a new record for their fundraiser this year, can't wait to go out again next summer.
