Nice on the manual, I just don't trust myself shifting. I'll be at most of the Rennsport events at Tremblant...#803..drop by say hi, two other guys I know also got a GT3.2 recently and will be there. Great people and great track.

Also planning to make Mosport UCR PCA in May and June so look forward to seeing all the Toronto folks.

You would think by now we would be able to build roads that don't fall apart. I have been to third world countries with better roads than Midtown Toronto.

I enjoyed a spirited albeit short 1/2 hour drive on Sunday. Always nice to experience that unique handling joy, smell the mixture of unburned fuel and the aromatic patina of a near 49 year old car, and marvel, through the front windshield, the classically distinctive contours of the early 911...

The country roads outside Huntsville are blocks of melting ice, with lots of place where water went over the road and then froze. It may be June before it's drivable. Coming down my driveway today reminded me of the four man bobsled, 600' downhill on sheer ice. I was banging of the snow banks on either side.

Not even close to almost around the "Powder Highway". Six hundred thousand dollars for snow removal in January alone for a city of eight thousand residents.

Yikes, hope you can shovel fast, the snow looks likes its closing in on you! Must be some great skiing though.

It's melting out here in the East, just the potholes and road rubble to avoid.

Our mountain has the longest vertical in North America and a well deserved "steep and deep" reputation.
It has been quite the snowmageddon season though it feels we're through the worst.

Here's last year mid April "ish" so almost is still a stretch.
