Here are a few beauty shots from a quick drive up the mountain today:









If anyone wants these in higher resolution I'd be happy to upload them!

Thanks! It's on the drive up to Cypress Mountain (some of the last Winter Olympic events were hosted there)

I think I've said it before but it needs saying again: your 944 is beautiful and I am VERY jealous of those wheels! Nothing does an 80's coupe justice more than some period mesh wheels.

P.S. good use of the background scenery to frame the car in the last pic.

that's funny.. as soon as the pic loaded and I saw the top half of the photo, I though.. WOW, that looks just like cypress.. then I scrolled down and saw the BC plate and had a LOL moment.

Very nice looking car!! Bring that puppy out to autocross! I'm hosting the next event at Pitt Meadows on July 2nd.

PS if you need any help with the car or parts, I have lots of experience, and I live in North Van..

Cheers,
Rich

Haha yeah, fortunately by now the true fans have stepped up and cleaned up the mess the hellbent rioters left behind. Much respect to those who did.

I have a couple small chips on the paint of my wheels, and what do you know - they're gold underneath too! I'm always split between leaving the grey centres or stripping the paint and going full-on 80's gold mesh

Haha gotta love the local scenery and drives. I'd love to make it out to the odd autocross this summer, I'll get in touch with you about that for sure! And I may have to take you up on that offer in return for some wrenching and/or beer - there are some diagnostics I have to do on the ol' engine that I don't know how to start on. I live in West Van by the way

I don't care where you go, There's NO place in Canada that isn't worth a photograph. Of course, putting a 944/951 in the frame can't hurt.

BC is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could make it up there more often, it's just about a 4hr drive for me (well... 3hrs driving, 1hr sitting in line at the border)

I totally agree though: Beautiful waterfall = awesome, Beautiful waterfall + 944/951 = absolutely stunning!
