Finally get to take the '80 out to stretch her legs (first out-of-towner since last October) through some very empty countryside. No cell coverage for a huge chunk either. 16hrs over 2 days, taking the scenic route.

Any members in the Prince George, Valemount, Clearwater, Kamloops, Merrit area? Kinda short notice, but I will be in PG tomorrow evening if anyone wants to GTG.

In the outside event of motive disaster, does anyone know of knowledgeable mechanics along the same route?

Can any BC members recommend a parts vendor if I need something shipped to Hicksville on short notice?

Any 928's going to attend the Fraser Valley tour hosted by the Porsche club on Saturday, May 24?

I don't know whether Adam Birmbaum is still in the general area and might be able to answer your posts...I think I saw a note from him on a thread about a 40K mi S4 for sale last night.

Take lots of pics...been trying to find my way to that part of the world since graduating college!

Sorry, I have driven 1/2 this route so many times, it never occurred to me that someone might want pics. Was socked in & pouring rain, so not much of a view today.

Left the camera at home.....tho' my cell does have 2MP, so I'll snap a few for ya. Do you prefer scenery or wildlife?

here is some pics, kinda lame as I was on a schedule, and not much time for site-seeing.

BTW I have to send out props to Colin, who saved my *** from a Porsche dealer raping, and fixed my starter while I was attending an IT conference in Vancouver.

Richmond BC is where all the $$$ is these days; mercedes & beemers are a dime a dozen, you WILL see a number of ferraris every day in the airport area, But this is rare

Hiya KJ.... Yesterday, the31st, Kamloops, #1 westbound, about 2pm, a tan colored OB on the move.... was that you?

Nope, not I. My trip thru that area was Wed-May 21. been too busy vegging on the Island to post any sooner.

My 80 is very white (though now with florescent stripes...see my pics last few pages of random pic thread toward bottom )https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...95176&page=135

Okay... gotcha... A long shot to be sure, but still, not a lot of 928's around here, so I figured maybe it was you...

Did you get up to see Paul Jager by chance?
