Just a suggestion...why not meet earlier (as in 6am), and go for the gusto...drive the loop up the Fraser Canyon, photo op at Hell's Gate, hang a left at Duffy Lake Road, enjoy miles and miles of twisties, stop for a quick beer in Whistler Village, then down the Sea to Sky highway back to Vancouver? I've done the loop on sportbikes a few times...great ride...would be great in the 944's too...
Ian - great idea! the loop will be terrific at that time of year.

Let's do it - make it worthwhile for our US compadres

Question

Count me in. I'll catchup with you guys at Hells gate. Coming from Kelowna. Ever since I got the Porsche, i've wanted to do the Duffy Lake Rd.... perfect excuse.
Nothing like trying to keep up with a bunch of turbos

Welcome Rosster! Should be a blast! Thanks Ian for suggesting this lake. I have a good feeling about GREAT photos. My dad is a photographer soooo I will make him bring some sweet gear to snap our cars.

I should be able to make that. I agree with Ian, though. Lets make it a drive, rather than just a photo op!

You guys should have come on the PCA drive out that way a month or so ago. Hope -> Spences Bridge, in to Merrit for lunch, then Princeton -> Hope and back home again. Lots of good driving out there (thanks Don! ).

John, if you make it out here, I'll put you and Jen up at my hotel.

Hey, Jerry Seinfeld is doing a routine in town that weekend too!! I'm sure he'd love to see us all together, afterall his first P-car was a 951!!!! I think he may also be in town early to come to our Whistler Weekend!
