I are heading toward Kemptville to check out a bar we heard about – a bar in a garage. We were told it holds buckets of ice, lemons and limes one day, carburetors and gaskets the next. Its name? Dave’s Bar and Grill. I knew Dave Mcgibbon years ago. His wife, Carol, and I worked together
at CKBY (now Y101) in the 80s. Even then, Dave had a passion for classic cars. It was a pleasant suprise

for a few years. Then we saw it: Dave’s Bar and Grill -- a custom-made bar with a
Chrysler grill on the face. Way too cool. The garage is used year-round, since it has radiant-heat flooring. It runs
off a hot water tank with a fist-sized pump. Dave says it costs about $400 a year to run. Dave and Carol love to entertain, and it seems that whenever there is a
gathering they end up at Dave’s Bar and Grill. A big gathering is July 1. That’s when a lot of classic car owners converge
