Adolescent vivant en France à la frontière Belge en 1980, la Belgique très americanisee à cette époque offrait une multitude de voitures provenant des USA dont une continental Mark4 qui passait devant la maison à 5h00 tous les jours, un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.De vieux souvenirs inaltérables.

I'm so glad that you made the trip and now sharing photos and video clips. A road trip quickly becomes a milepost in life, sometimes to the point that memories are organized as "before trip", or "after trip". It's very noticeable as time passes. I feel that a road trip should never be postponed because a road trip delayed can become a road trip never taken. Wonderful video, Mark.

What a classy elegant looking car. I bet it’s been pure heaven driving that beauty. I just acquired a low mileage original 79 MK V myself. Can’t wait to go get it. I’m in the Midwest and I’ll be driving it back from the west coast in a couple weeks. It’s not as nice as yours but with a little bit of love it will come close. Enjoy that beauty before it’s time to put her away for the winter. Cheers

You started out at Young's General Store in Wawa, Ontario but at the end, you passed by the Eastern/Central Time rest stop on your right, and train tracks on the left, so that means you were going back towards TBay and therefore back towards Wawa. ??? So, I don't get it. Maybe you passed the rest stop and decided to do a u-turn to go back and check it out and take a break. Ignace is about another 2 hours west from the rest stop.

When I came to Canada I lived with my relatives in Winnipeg and they had and still have a farm around St, Claude area and there a scenery like in your video and telegraph road going to their farm where I often was sitting and watching it with this DS song and was asking my aunt and cousins to help me to translate and write down the texts of it😁😁😁and my first ride in Canada was on my uncle's this kind of old classic Pontiac Parisenne right there on the farm roads😁now it's great memories and life is wonderful and full of surprises like this🤔even that I'm now on my hobby farm here in Ukraine some 100 kms from war zone and jets flying over right now to wipe out from our land the demons called ruZZian nazi...
