The 2007 Orangeball Rally from Montreal to Waterfest.  This was the first year of the Orangeball Rally (and also the longest in terms of driving distance & time), this year also saw our first and only accident.  Mark was driving down the I-87 when a blown tire laying on the highway was picked up by a passing Subaru and flung onto the front end of his Blue Lagoon MK4 Jetta.  Mark was thankfully unharmed but the towing home put a serious dent in his pocket.

Being our first year at organizing this event, we ended up taking a much longer route than expected.  Our intentions were to make the rally a whole day event with a pass through more winding back roads however this proved to be a big mistake when drivers were taking almost 12 hours to drive down to a destination that normally takes 6 to 7 hours to get to.  Lesson learned!
