    Nice car. Thats funny. I bought 911 C4 last fall and am selling it this spring for the same reasons. Just not my thing. I'm more of a Viper guy. LOL.

    Congrats on the new purchase.

    Car looks great in white.

    I'm sure Cam will be excited to have another Porsche out this summer.


    On a side note, the Billings event will have a special guest in attendance....
    Famed former chief test driver for Lamborghini, Valentino Balboni is scheduled to be in attendance for this event.

    Taylors did my car. No issues. I have seen a couple of other Porsches get the safety done there as well. I'm sure others on this board have their favourites as well.


    Nice car!

    Well................

    I was Hoping that I could call a cars and coffee soon.
    Looks like the weather is not going to cooperate for a while.

    So in the interim, I am calling a coffee meeting for 7:30 pm March 28, 2013 at Lemaceron on Quance. (If there are any truly insane among us, you are welcome to bring out your exotics.)

    Hey boys, just for $hits and giggles and after watching countless hours of Top Gear I got the idea to look for an abandoned airstrip. What could be more perfect than to have an open runway so we can have some fun, set up a track and have at it.

    Guess what, I found one just south of Moose Jaw, it's called Butress airport on privately owned land. It's shaped like the Bermuda triangle, from what I can make out it about .7km long on each runway total 3, almost an oval :D.

    Hard to tell if the runway is good or not, but you can still see the lines in the middle of the runways. Of course on one runway there are buildings lol one must avoid those lol

    Not sure if this link will work, but if it does zoom in.

    buttress airport - Google Maps

    Unfortunetly after some careful close up gooling it looks rough shape, but still there are a total of 15 abandoned airfields in SK alone, this was the first I looked at lol

    Hi Sarhan. Good to hear from you. Hope everything is going well.

    I am looking forward to enjoying the driving season.... if it ever happens.

    The weather is supposed to be improving slowly, but I am guessing we won't be on the roads till after the Majestics show in April.

    I am good. Thanks for asking. I went back home to visit my parents for some time and then got busy in studies. Finally I am graduating now in April :)

    Oh the weather is really nasty this time. I wish I could have a look at superleggera before my finals during last week of April .. If you plan to bring out your new ride before end of April, send me a text and I will be more than happy to meet you n see the new ride :)

    If it was a Dark blue Diablo it could be Jeff's car.
    Haven't seen him in quite a while but I think he still has the car.

    There is one other blue Lambo in town that is an early front engined car that is being restored by its owner.

    So, yes it's possible.

    The diablo was the first car i thought of, but didn't it get ruined in a flood a few years back? I saw pics of it with water past the sills.

    Side note

    As you might all know, after RTB I had a terrible shaking at over 100 mph.
    Turns out I wrecked the front Diffy :(:(:(

    Good news I should have the car back mid April or shortly there after.

    Might look a little different too hehehehehe!!!
