    Today was outstanding. I met up in Cochrane with Glenn and Annie(Is that her name), John and Ben, Nick and Rayn and Chris. We drove from there to Canmore along the 1A, and then to Banff on the #1. I thought my WRX was kinda quick, but they could leave me in the dust anytime. It was hard to get pics when I couldn't keep up!

    Anyway, all the cars arrived at the Banff Springs in the private courtyard. They looked stunning. Then everyone hears this growl, and Zahir and then Enzo roll through the gates. Wow. Everyone just stopped and ran to his car. He was followed by two Murcie's, one coupe on roadster, which didn't help slow down the slew of people rushing towards them.

    Everyone was heading inside, so I went to see what was going on. I was then invited to brunch, which was totally unexpected. Heck, this whole event was kinda unexpected. All the warm introductions and meeting other enthusiasts was great.

    A big thanks to you Glenn, for letting me come and out meet the gang and for your introductions to everyone.

    Here are my pics, some turned out good. I wish I could post them on this page, but it won't let me use tags. Oh well, Enjoy!

    Looks like an outstanding time -- and I thought I had a good day because I spotted a Viper in Olds ;)

    Holy crow, Sheldon. Like Tanner, you are a kick ass photog. Nice shots. Great composition.

    And we should be the ones thanking you. For taking the time out to come celebrate with us. Including you in brunch is exactly the kind of guy Zahir is. He's ridiculously generous.

    You are a great young man, and you and Tanner must come out on track day during open friends and family time to check things out.

    Thanks again.

    Oh, I will be there. I'm sure Tanner will too. What is the open friends and family time mean?

    ZRAuto sales would be the place for more info.

    I think that what it means is that friends and family of the participants will be able to go for a few laps during certain times. Even just coming out for a couple hours to watch the cars would be amazing.

    Wow. The Enzo looks stunning in yellow. As said by others, those are excellent pictures! Do you mind me asking what camera you use? I will need to replace mine before the track event thats for sure!

    WOW. Yellow Enzo. Yellow Murcies. The Rockies. I don't have words to describe it.

    Sheldon, very nice pics. I can only imagine how amazing those sights must have been in person, but your pics were enough to make me speachless.

    Nice job guys!

    I was definitely planning on attending the Rocky Mountain Adventure, but a pass to the open friends and family time would be just incredible. I would not miss it for the world.

    When you drive the Enzo does it feel long? the Enzo looks like a fairly long car.

    Canon Digital Rebel XT with the stock 15-55mm lens. Great camera for the price. Make sure you get at least a 1GB card, it fills up in about 280 pics in Large-Fine mode.

    Thanks for all the comments on the pics, I still have a lot work on though.

    You have to respect guys who buy these cars to drive'em.
    How many Enzo's or Murci's or Novitech 360's do you see everyday?

    Well, in Calgary, a lot more often thanks to these boys!!!
