<1* This summer Boyd and Doreen Wood of Orono, completed completed a trip they started 33 years ago. In 1967 the Woods and their two children, aged 3 and 5, pulled a tent trailer with their 1931 Model 'A' Ford, and drove to Victoria B.C, to join the Coast to Coast Antique Auto Tour, The Tour worked its way to the east cost, however the Woods left the tour after 32 days, in Montreal; Boyd's vacation time was up. This August, minus the kids and tent trailer, Boyd and Doreen drove the same 31 Model 'A' Ford, in the „ Millennium Coast to Ç-oa§t Tour. They joined the tour in Bancroft, and completed their cross. Canada trip in St. John's Newfoundland on August 18, 200Ô. The ear had 26,000 miles on it when Boyd purchased it in 1959; one week after he got married. On the way home from Newfoundland, the odometer clicked 65,000 miles. "It took $4 to fill the gas tank in 1967," said Boyd, "now it costs $25 to fill the same tank." . Though the Woods had many wonderful experiences, on both trips, they said the people down East were very friendly. "The people in Newfoundland were very happy to see us," said Boyd. One of the highlights of this trip happened when they crossed into Nova Scotia. There the Woods met the Matheson's from Pugwash Nova Scotia, as they joined the tour in their 1925 Star Touring Car, which Boyd had driven around in quite a lot as a kid. This car had been previously previously owned by his late uncle Bruce Hancock of Orono. - Uncle Bruce bought the car from his wife's father in Bethany, who purchased it new. Uncle Bruce later made a sawing machine out of the Star, remembers Boyd. Vic Matheson purchased the old. sawing machine, then bought a Touring body, and made a car out of it again. The only problem the Woods had during both tours was with valve stems on the tire tubes. They went through five stems on the first trip, and one this time round. At top speed of 50 - 55 miles per hour, the Woods took 33 years to travel this country from coast to coast, and they say they would do it again.
