Default Prepping for Aquino weekend

Guys,

Finally found the time to start prepping the Lynx for the upcoming Aquino weekend in Oshawa. I was able to persuade Andy Pomorski to weld on the brackets to mount the crash pads. Only the young and nimble can contort themselves to do what he did. Now to fix up the paint and I should be ready.

Default Crash Pads

Guys,

Cleaned up and repainted, then installed the new crash pads. Quite pleased with how they turned out. Aquino here we come.

Default In Appreciation

Guys,

The Lynx and I had the privilege of chauffeuring Don White a WW 11 veteran who served with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, in a parade honouring our veterans at the recent Aquino weekend. Don was accompanied by Mark Aube, a current member of the RCDs, wearing a WW 11 uniform.

The Aquino weekend at the Ontario Regiment Museum continues to grow and impress each and every year. A must for enthusiasts of heavy green iron.

Default More pictures

Guys,

Michael Wong, the official photographer for the ORM graciously shared some pictures of the Lynx taken at the Aquino weekend. It was a proud moment for me and the Lynx, so here are a couple. The Lynx seemed to rise to the occasion and kicked up it's heels to the German re-enactors and sent some dust their way.

Default No trailers

while i haven't sorted out the speedometer it isn't straining at all at 90kph, but the Hollywood pipes have to go, cool but they neither sound or look correct.

Default Great

Harry,

Thanks for sharing the pictures of your Lynx, she looks great. The differences between the early Lynx and the Lynx 11 certainly add up.

Your road trips are impressive. My goal is to have my Lynx licensed before the end of the summer, so perhaps we can compare notes.

Peter
