Spring has sprung
 

Slapped 7 months of insurance on her and drove for 2 hours last evening.

She ran just fantastic, started up right away and didn't stall once.

I made a promise to myself to drive her a lot more than the 1,000km that I drove her last summer.

I understand Vancouver is colder than most of southern Canada.

I was down there this last weekend. snow on monday! sheesh!

got 400 miles on mine in last two weeks

Drive her all yesterday to go golfing and then to pickup the wife from the airport.

When I was driving home I came across a beautiful dark red 911 SC driving up Gaglardi Way in Burnaby. Absolutely stunning car.

Here is a crappy cell phone picture from the park right at the end of the runway by the airport.

Maybe that was Charlie. His fits that description.

I don't do a lot of PCA-CWR stuff but I don't recall ever seeing that car.

The colour was like a crimson red with a beige interior.

It was in pristine shape.

Maybe not Charlies .
I've only seen his from the outside . Believe it to be a dark rosewood . It is pristine.

Yep, Charlie's is Rosewood, hence the nickname Rosie, and she's an SC Targa.

Canuck, that is a wicked looking car! Well done.

A couple of more pictures from that amazing day.

Looks like things are returning to normal here with a couple of weeks of rain predicted.

Thanks Jim.

I've looked at some of your pictures and I just wish I had the skill set that you have to work on these Porsches.

maybe it was this one.
just came up for sale.

Was out driving last Sunday afternoon.

A nice black SC flashed hello to me as he/she was heading east on Lougheed by Boundary.

Also was stopped at a red light beside a beautiful white 997 Turbo. I looked over to give him the thumbs up but he was just staring straight ahead.

I guess my old 964 isn't in the same league as his new 997.

I know I'm generalizing but I have noticed that I get a lot more flashes, waves or thumbs up from other owners of older (classic) cars vs. the ones driving the newer ones.

There is a guy with a fantastic white 60's Ford Mustang and he always give me a wave when we come across each other.

new Porsche owners have no clue :)

car looks fantastic!

No they don't. The secret society has been disbanded with the mass production of Porsche vehicles.

I have been out in the 911 almost as much in the first few weeks leading up to the driving season (200km) than I did all of last season with the cars. I waved at a few 944's, air cooled 911's and even a 914. 100% wave back.....i don't even bother with the water cooled cars.
