I figure we are even.
I would never park my car underneath a couple of hundred pounds of bars and front tires..

Silver mirrors, end-plated lips and silver Orbit sticker and baller BBS should make enough difference versus all *** white and ugly discolored GMG flate blackish prupleish wheels.

I'm not sure how heavy the truck and trailer are, but it sure does not want to accelerate or stop. we'll be fine..

The cars are so clean coming out of orbit, it did not even look like your car :-)
They looked like 2 new twins..

Mike, we will miss you!
It won't be the same without the GT3 DE CUP complete!

Eddie after getting 4 calls and 8 emails from me per day for the last 2 months regarding my car swap and build deserves to be there, deputy, the Greek, matador even Erik will be missed.

Porsche should hire a small crew to film this Mancation adventure - pretty much priceless marketing once you edit out all the empty beer cans.

Ok Mancationer, we will be me and francois waiting for you at Mosport
If you can make it for the 12, this will be by far one of the best day there.
I already spoke to the organizer and vouch for you so you are all granted advance status if you decide to join us
You can register on the spot if you decide to come early

7 30 min session no point by only advance driver, 2 run group 300$ ( we would be all in the same )

Marc,

If possible, can you add my name to that list - I will try and make it also - my odds are 50/50 of making the Thursday.

See you guys Friday for sure.

Thanks

Paul

Hah, we had an offer from a magazine last year to make pictures and take notes to send them in. But you know the driving, alchohol and Izzone's spelling and grammer got in the way ;-)

Awesome and it was on our wish list. We did schedule mancation III on the all important conference that Randy HAD TO attend to. Except earlier this week he decided mancation III was more important and he cancelled anyway..

I'm getting a lot of peer pressure from Randy and Clarke, but with exhaustion and Customs it might be tough.

Imagine trying to cross with 6 GT3's and 4 shady guys, one looks like he's guilty and on the run for ripping off the goverment, the other looks like a hippy, I look like bouncer and generally not very likeable and a criminal looking black guy in a "borrowed" lifted black GMG truck.
Our only hope is to let Lewis do the talking, oh and a 20 year younger cute girl. No we did not kidnap her sir. Yes her mother knows she's with banjo playing, tobacco chewing hippy.

Trying to make it the 12th. would really cut into our drinking time, if they let us into the country to begin with.

It's not like my co driver is much help (see photo)

Last year we had to explain a lot to the kind Customs officer who signed the hood of my car LOL

I'm starting to think I should cross the border with Lewis and separate myself from the rest by a good 30 minutes ahead of them.
