Lets just all enjoy our cars and the comraderie that it brings us to the Renlist site.
I wonder now if I am really Canadian I guess that depends on who I ask also eh!

Another Canuck
Greetings from Sunny Surrey!
As a former Victorian I'm not too far from my roots. Actually I'll be in old Vic for the Whiskey Festival at the end of January. See you there?
Mine is an Arctic Silver '90 Coupe, class winner at the Portland Parade Concours this summer. It's also my track car, a combination which causes considerable mental conflict (although you can probably guess the most common outcome of the "clean it or drive it" debate)!
Ciao!

I like your pic of the German Car Festival! I spotted myself talking to my brother-in-law and another enthusiast in front of my silver 964 in the top right corner!

Thanks! I wasn't the owner of the car when it was shown at the German Car Festival. I was also in Portland - our region won the Presidents Trophy - but I was driving my 951. Sure were a lot of nice cars there.
