    • I won't be around next week - my daughter is scheduled for spinal fusion surgery Tuesday morning.  She's been dealing with scoliosis for a couple of years now (the reason we were going ot Montreal every few months), but it's to the point where surgery is required.  She's incredibly brave - she's looking forward to having it done so there won't be any more brace and she'll have reduced back pain.  Her mother and I, however, are slowly going insane....

    • I just bought a slurrpy totalling $1.56, I gave her $2.06. My dazzling good looks must have thrown her off as she had to use a calculator to figure out the change.

    • So I went to that BMW Driver Training day at the race track.  No Ferraris this year, but there was a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 that surprised me.

      Took pics for a couple hours, and then when I was leaving I was told I wasn't allowed to take the pics off my camera. :(  I suppose I should have asked directly, but thought they might have said something when I signed the waiver (as the waiver said nothing about picture taking and I had my camera on me).  And I've been to this is previous years with other photogs and no one said anything.  Kinda POed about that.  Kinda want to post at least one pic of the 4.0 though.

      Other than the GT3 RS there wasn't too much either of note.  Mostly Porsches and BMWs.  I think 3 997 Turbos, a 996 Turbo S Cabriolet, a 996 GT2 (which I'd seen before at the track) and a 997 GT3.  There was a brand new 997 GT3 RS a couple years ago, but I think it might have been the 4.0 guy and he traded up.

      • Ummm...and, how are they gonna control what you do with photos you already have?

        If they have the cars in public, you photograph whatever you want.

        I've run into something similar at Mosport.  Normally, any event held there is incredibly fan-friendly...unless you want to take photos of cars in the Ferrari corral.  Trust me, I have plenty of photos of Ferraris at Mosport.  Wink


      • yeah - I found the whole thing kind of silly, but there also were many people there this year so I don't know if they're cracking down on things.  Plus I think I might have offended someone and maybe he complained...  There was a guy looking at the 4.0 when I was, and I said it was beautiful and was the holy grail of 911s...  He was like "whatever" and I think I saw him driving a Turbo later on.  Opps...

        There's the 4.0.  It was a good 50% louder than the 997 GT3 there.  NS plates, so it is local.  And there was no trailer there, so he drove it to and from the event.  And a couple km of roads leading to the track are gravel...  Only one car there was trailered - a Corvette Z06 with some gigantic stoptech brakes.

        I'm impressed by how many insane cars there actually are in NS that you rarely see.  And that their owners actually drive them, and most often are very honest and down-to-earth people.

      • "that you rarely see"..."that their owners actually drive them"...

    • Good Morning all. I have just enough time to post this before I have to begin the 1.5 hour trek to my 10 year old daughters' soccer game in Milton. This kind of distance wasn't what I had in mind when they said local............

    • Morn'n.  Go Kings!
