Tedfest 2017 Host hotel update.

Post by Ted in T.O. »

Happy New year everyone. Registration is now open and planning is under way for the 13th year of Tedfest. Last year's event was a huge success with 185 cars attending. I could not get the site for June or July around that long weekend so Tedfest will be on Saturday August 12th from 11am till 4pm. It will be held at the Bradley House which is 3 minutes south of my house and 5 minutes from the Admiral Inn which is the host hotel. It is a bigger site with more trees and a short walk to the lake. Friday is car wash day at my house with pizza and beer for dinner. Saturday is the Show and Shine and then back to my house for the evening BBQ. The pizza,beer,Show and Shine and BBQ is again free this year with great thanks to our sponsors. As of June 1st, 2009 the Americans will need a US Passport to get into Canada and to get back over. Information link is attached. Bring your lawn chairs,camera's and be prepared for some Good Ole Canadian hospitality. We have you covered with the lawn chairs if you are flying in. :laugh: The Tedfest Team is looking forward to seeing everyone again.

All the info on the Tedfest.ca website is the same. Pictures from past years are at the link below.

I'm very happy to write that, after not even wanting to attend this amazing show for many years, as of 2016 my girl is now a proper vintage BMW enthusiast, and is looking forward to going to Tedfest this year even more than I am; there's no excuse for not showing your women the light boys. :D

She's bringing her freshly imported and soon to be fully restored 1994 daytona violet over daytona violet sport cloth design edition touring with her, which will be quite a treat, and now that I have an E28 I'll finally get to park on the front lawn!!! :heehee:

I had no idea you swung that way.

(That way is an awesome way, but I don't feel like riding an F all the way from Ohio on the highway, so I'm bringing a car instead.)

I would consider this heavily. It's on my list but I'm kinda real far away.
Ted and friends are great people and I don't throw that around loosely. Ted has only admonished me once, and that was in America and I think I needed it. I may have been being a Butthead, but it was probably him. He's the Butthead. There I said it. ButtTed

It is with much regret that I have to announce that I will not be able to arrive in one of my Eta's due to ongoing, protracted classic car insurance negotiations.

I will however be attending on Saturday, albeit in a Nissan hire car :oops:
