Nothing wrong with a good necro post once in a while DT. Must have been drinking heavily to get back 15 years though.

This is PCA Canada West and Pacific NW Whistler weekend. 110 cars on display between concours/show-and-shine all through the upper village near the Chateau. Will post some pics later. Perfect day for it and what a great place. Tomorrow is auto cross for some or Duffy Lake for a winery lunch in Lillooet for others.

That is so true. Once you get past Horshoe Bay which is 90km/hr it drops to 80k/hr ....but a bit further at lions Bay Area it suddenly drops to 60km/hr and they just sit there and fish away.
Here in BC if you travel 40km/hr above the speed limit they "confiscate" your vehicle for a minimum of 7 days, plus close to a $500 fine, towing and storage fees, points on your licence that hurt you come insurance renewal time, etc.....
(But besides that, it's a fantastic drive up to Whistler)
A radar detector more than pays for itself within about 10-15 minutes on that road.
Even if you were to adhere to the 60km zone you would have traffic at your bumper honking lol
