Head further West for the drives.

Porsche Centre Vancouver has an 04 C4S cab.
BMW Langley an 04 C4S coupe.
Weissach an 04 Turbo coupe and a few 997's.
Also a fellow on Vancouver CL in West Van. with an 05? C4S.
No affiliation to any above just noticing your WTB posts.

Motorwerks in Kelowna hosting a spirited drive on the 22nd
so time to wake up the C4S.
The mountain passes perhaps still to get hit but mostly clear
at lower elevations.

If you pass thru Revelstoke on your way down stop in and check out the car.
A long winter's given me time to mull over parting ways with it.

Enjoy the hunt.

Leaving the 911s for two more weeks. Cayenne gets summers this week for my usual 8000km round trip to get my dog from winter house in Scottsdale. Weather can be very unpredictable on the trip. Have seen snow in Albuquerque , tornadoes in Oklahoma,windstorms on the Texas panhandle and dust storms in Arizona. Hopefully will have good weather and it will be 911 time by month end.

Every year I wait until they clear the grit off Edmonton roads. What about the potholes or the ruts in the asphalt?

Keep your head on a swivel and both hands on the wheel

Also helps to accelerate over them...the car squats and lifts over instead of pounding into them while braking like most people do.

Drove to London and back yesterday, and was thinking of taking the Porsche, but decided against it. I was lucky. There was so much grit on the highway that it sounded like we were driving through a hail storm...
