Today is the day of the barbecue at the Model T club in Calgary.
In the morning Inge, Dirk-jan, Petra and Joris are going to explore Calgary. They buy a new charger for the laptop there. Dirk and Trudy depart from Cayley at 12.15. They arrive at 15.05 where the members of the club are of course very interested in the Model T. They even have the Dutch flag in top.

After dinner we are asked to stand around the Land Rover for a picture. Suddenly everybody is taking their camera. We feel world famous.
Model-T team
Dirk puts his Model T on the grass next to all the other Model T’s. The oldest one is from 1909 and looks very good. Not very good to drive in the desert because it has open tappets.
All cars
One of the cars is transformed to a fire truck. There is even a sirene on it, you can hear it from far.
