Please define Canadian tropical weather? 10c?

Love the black 4. Needs decals off and silver wheels but.. let's be honest I would take it painted pink with black-light reflective stripes and me driving dressed as a _____.

Golfing in March in Quebec!
I was considering the silver Rays wheels Pete had for sale but didn't pull the trigger fast enuf.
Then again black wheels = less cleaning

Well, enjoy your 4.0 weekend. I'm in Portland ME today. A few flurries this morning but nice and sunny.

I can't do black or bordello red inside but the thought of breaking in a 4.0 in crisp sunny weather makes my knee's go weak.

More photo's please

Hmm, hadn't thought that far. Will be at Mosport on 12, 13, but then there's a big gap, so maybe worth the road trip.

Hey! I've done over 500kms already this year! I was ready the minute the rain cleared the last of the winter dust and debris off of the roads....:-)

Hoping to pick up my (new to me) newly painted turbo front bumper cover from Mark Motors Body Shop on Weds! The local cats better beware, I'm ready for them now, hahaha.

See you in CYYZ soon!

Congratulations!
Use it in good health.

We were at TMP on that day, great time. It was arranged the day of and very last minute.
If you'd like to join us in the next week or so assuming the weather cooperates, pls let me know. Look for days around 15c.
Drove the Scud, Nice!

I think if I lived in Florida I wouldn't buy black exterior- too hot inside IMO.
We get temps >80's for only a week or two in August so I'm happy with it.

There was only (15) 4.0's available in Canada and AFAIK PTS wasn't available at the time of the allocations otherwise I would have gone crazy on the color.
Here are a few pics.
