    I just thought of it like this. That is the equivalent of 3 Viper motors. The Viper with 500 HP was crazy. How in the hell do you control 1500 HP????? lol... It will be fun watching you anyway. What will the HP be when you are just daily driving it around on pump gas?

    That last video scares me when the flames shoot out and the engine dies for a second.. I was thinking holy crap it just exploded...LOL.. I have already filed a formal noise complaint with the White City office. You are officially banned from driving the car within the town limits again...LOL.

    Hope you are having a blast down there, Roberto!!!

    Too bad you didn't stick around here - did you hear??? By some freak of nature, the temperatures up here soared to plus 30, JUST as your flight was leaving.... no kidding. Would I BS you?

    All the snow melted, and we all plated our cars, and went for a 24-hour long drive.

    It's supposed to be plus 27 today, so we are all taking the afternoon off, putting on shorts (Darren seems to still like his banana hammock....), and we're going for another drive. Probably the same for the next day, if it's not TOO hot.....


    *****wakes up from his snooze, shaking his head*******


    :(


    Damn. I wish. It IS pretty nice up here though...... (but not banana-hammock nice). (Is it EVER??? :) )

    And on THAT note.... yesterday, I said F*** it, and threw an 8-day permit on the car, and went out for a rip as soon as I got home from the clinic.

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, BAY-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

    Fantastic!!! I only have really gotten to drive this thing once, to Regina and back (for its Provincial Safety - and that was pretty slow, as it was below zero, with resultant hockey-puck hard summer rubber), and this is the first time I've driven it in daylight in this little town.

    So, we (buddy of mine, Drew - white BMW 335i in the calendar) got chased down by a bunch of guys in a mini van, all hanging out the windows with the cell phone cameras. Also got a HUGE thumbs up from this toothless guy that looked like a crack head in the passenger seat of a car alongside us (I guess crack heads can appreciate these cars, too :D ). After I dropped Drew off, I was almost run off the road by a murdered out old Chevy Camaro IROC (in great shape, however), and a crew of guys in an oil rig truck also were in pursuit.

    I (very) reluctantly put it back up on the lift after about an hour of driving, as I had a lecture to be at..... boooooo....... (I ALMOST bailed on the lecture, but promised them I'd be there...)(topped up the tank, just in case, and added just a tiny bit of Stabil....)

    Man, how do you guys deal with the attention?? It's nerve wracking!!!

    Saturday's supposed to be plus 4 and sunny..... Sunday's supposed to be plus three, and sunny.... :D :D :D ???? I'm driving Mary up to Regina, where she has a commitment on Sunday for three hours in the afternoon, but I don't have any commitments..... :)

    Anyone up for a spin?

    Uh............

    I was down in Weyburn with a couple of buddies the other day, I think that may have been me in the passenger seat.

    May be in for a bit of a drive if the weather holds up..

    Naaaaaaaah...... only a mentally deficient person would have their exotic out in the middle of winter..... :D


    (No offense, intended, Darren!!!)

    LOL. Mea culpa. "Twas me, all right.

    Getting it THAT dirty was driving me ever-so-slightly nuts, but Darrin put it into perspective, when he said "man, but look at it THIS way - you're driving it in FEBRUARY"!!).

    Thanks for the coffee, guys. Looking forward to even nicer weather, and to when ALL of us have the cars out - not just a couple of loons, LOL.

    Crazy. 2 Lambos were spotted in White City too. I think the cars were stolen and the dirtbag theifs were out showing them off. The black Gallardo was said to have an accomplice with him as well. I hope the buggers that stole these cars are caught and thrown in jail for a long time.

    I heard that, too. I'd be VERY wary of such sketchy characters.

    I heard they were trying to pick up 14 year olds, too.....

    Lock 'em up, throw away the key, I say.

















    (for those that think Darrin and I are pedophiles, there is an inside joke, there!!!!!)

    Weather was good around +18c in day time.

    We arrived late as we were held in flight pattern over LA so Pres Obama could take off, Pffft didn't he know I was about to land WTF.

    First day I was held up in traffic for 3 hours on the 405. Imagine from here to Moosejaw 5 lanes wide each side, bumper to bumper traffic crawling 4mph all the way. The clutch on the DR is like pressing a leg press, I pressed that damn thing at least 5/10000 times on my bad knee, talk about thumping pain lol.

    Rest of the trip was awesome, especially Sun where a group of 9 of us went for a tour through the Canyons. We had a French Canadian driving champion that lead our group, we all had radios and he warned us about up coming traffic, sand, tight curves etc...

    I pushed the lambo hard and it still wanted to give more, it performed incredibly well. Thank God I rebuilt all 6 shock actuators, the adjustable sport suspension saved my a$$ on more than one occasion. I started at 2 firmness but quickly moved to 4 sport setting as the road was insane, like alpine insane. But man was it fun full of hair pin turns, a couple of them almost 300 degree turn.

    The drive was broken up into 3 segments lasting over 6 hours, traffic was very light in the Canyons but one had to be extremely careful coming into blind corners. A few times I encountered a bike or car right at the blind spot.

    One time powering over a hill sun was directly in my eyes, as I came over the hill still accelerating the ground dropped and right hair pin turn. This is where I must thank the fact that we learn to drive well here in Canada on icy conditions. As I came over top the turn was 30 meters hard hard right, I braked hard with wheels squealing trying to grip and edge of cliff getting closer by the foot. I hit brakes hard sliding a bit until last second I released and power through the turn. I now have a brown racing stripe on my with leather lol.

    Any ways enough chat here are pics enjoy.
