Driving Around the World: 40 years ago this week, Garry Sowerby and Ken Langley were mere days away from clinching the Guinness record. Now back in North America, insomnia continues to plague Garry. Then, they run out gas... @DrivenMind99 @volvocarcanada

It's Friday night! Come hang out in the East Coast Garage where Jeff Melnychuk throws out the rear suspension on the 1965 Mustang and starts all over.
Ah, the joys of the project car #restoration #1965Mustang @Ford @FordCanada

Writing about this bad boy for @DrivenMind99 is not how I expected to spend my Tuesday evening. But I’ll take it.

Portapique: Spotted on FlightRadar: A pilot of a single-engine aircraft flew over the Portapique area in the shape of a heart this evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims.
Lots of flights leave late but in #Burundi Africa in 1983 the flight in this story left over an hour early without me.
