Default Springtime in Calgary

The cars, oh the nice cars.

Nice to see some of the older P cars coming out, and seeing some of the newer ones as well, stretching their legs, so to speak.

As I am just new to the Porsche world it is nice to be driving with some of them. I was recently heading onto the Deerfoot when a newer 911 comes out around me like I was standing still and flashes before my eyes. At one point we were driving together with a Dodge Viper and an M3, just poking along down a stretch of the hi-way. It felt nice to be in such company.

Next weekend is our PCA's opening run that I hope to be attending for the very first time, more great company.

I guess the moral of the story is "There is no substitute"

I'm going to try and make it to that run.

And there's a show of classic cars at the Deerfoot Mall today, that should be worth a look.

Mostly muscle cars, hot rods, and domestic classics', also Ferrari's, MG's, Rolls, etc.

But nary a P-car.

However, I really enjoyed it.

Speaking of springtime...

I just spotted a Black 964 pull into the General Dynamics parking lot in the NE.

If you're a Rennlister - great car!
