Default SPOTTED: 928 on BC wine tour

Didn't have a chance to chat with owner, but saw this beauty at Tinhorn Winery on labor day long weekend in south Okanagan, BC. Did you know that you can visit the Sonoran desert in Canada?





Is this a member? BC plates were on car.

It wasn't me, but I wish it had been! I'd love to get up there to see the Okanagan valley and taste some of those wines. I've had a few and have been impressed.

Perhaps some day I can saddle up my S4 and take it out there. That would be a perfect run for a 928!

Nice looking black S4 indeed.

Okanagan Valley wines. Yumm.

Spent some time up in Kelowna hitting the wineries, and another time hitting the local dirt bike riding. Can't wait to get back up there.

It looks like the one I see in Kelowna every once in a while. I don't think it is jetrainer's.....as his is a euro.
The Okanagan valley is a great place to live!! Very Unique.

Nope, not me, i'm silver but i have visited Tinhorn Creek winery and have bought their 'merlot futures' in the past. Yah, the Okanagan Valley went undiscovered by the outside world for a long time but i'm afraid the jig is up as we've been invaded.

Default Invaded is about right

I can remember visiting the OK as kid in the 70's and it was pretty sleepy. Now its the snowbird capital for Canadians too poor to go to Arizona.

I also got to the classic car museum in Summerland; defintely worth the visit!!

ciao

Unless he upgraded the front calipers/breaks to the S4 (you can see the porsche script on the last pic) , I think this is an actuall S4.

Lizards car with S4 trim is a Euro...all four side markers make this one a Canada/USA car.
