Geocache Description:

"Searchin' Through the Year" series - August

There often just isn’t enough time to do all of the caching you would like to do, what with family, work and other commitments. This series of puzzle caches is intended to celebrate those special days throughout the year when you get that much-needed extra time off. For each cache in this series, assume North = 43 and West = 78, and write down the bonus number or instructions in each cache. (The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within 2.5 km.)

The first Monday in August is called different things in different places: here in Oshawa, it is McLaughlin Day, after Colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin, one of Canada’s first automobile manufacturers. This puzzle is based on some notable movie cars:

Number[Herbie].License[Starsky’s Gran Torino + Greased Lightning + Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]

License[Cobretti’s Monterey].Number[Speed Racer + Lightning McQueen + Mello Yello Chevrolet Lumina]

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Congratulations to Sabresfan on the FTF!
