Subject: ST1's Trip To Canada Part 1
Hello to All,
What an amazing weekend in London, Ontario at Steve Plunkett's Country Cruize-In. Not only did we have a great time but over $150,000 was raised for charity. We are glad that "ST1" was chosen to help participate in this "Saintly" endeavor. While at the show, I had the opportunity to meet and greet many fans of "The Saint" and Sir Roger Moore. It always surprises me to hear that people come to the show to specifically see "ST1" when there are so many other attractions. One family had each of their 5 family members take turns behind the wheel for photos! It's nice to know that this car meant so much to so many people.
We were interviewed several times about the car and it's history but two interviews really stand out: the first was by Rick Walker of Old Autos Television. In the photos that follow, we decided it would be fun to try to recreate the original publicity photos of Sir Roger and "ST1". I posed for the boot shot then persuaded Rick to please take over for the others. As you can see, the photos definitely improved by my absence!
In Part 2, we have a very special interviewer so... "Watch for the car of The Saint, it will return".
Best Regards to All,

Nice photos! Shame there wasn't an event in NYC where the P1800 could've been displayed. I would've loved to have seen it.
Hi Delmo,
Actually, ST1 got real close to NYC as it was transported from Canada to Lodi, NJ (home of Bada-Bing). From there, I picked it up and drove it back to Virginia (about 500 miles). I did stop in Branchville, NJ for a car show in my native area with my old high school buddies (there is an on-line article in the New Jersey Herald about it). Thanks for the comment! Bill
