Very nice indeed! Sometimes we westerner's take for granted our 12 month driving season. The country back there is awsome!!

Keep her healthy for next year!!

As do we southners. While I cannot imagine living up north, it is a great place to visit when everything isn't white. :wink:

Great pictures:thumbsup:

The "white" isn't as bad as the -30 degrees:mrgreen:

Dave, great pics!! You really had some nice trips last summer. Glad you made it to Minnesota. Had a great time with you and Hil. I really can't comment on my Z being slower than yours. Keep in mind I never had it out of 4th gear just so you could keep up with your "Black Beast":wink: :mrgreen:

[DaveK]

Thanks Bob. We had a great time - visiting with you and Emma was just the first of several fun trips. Next time we'll have to try and make it not so rushed. :cheers:

[flyin ryan]

that's great, thanks for sharing=D> . looks like you had great weather for the most part. how many miles roughly did you put on/travel? i didn't know in Ontario you could have eight digits for a personal plate, in Alberta it's only seven.

[DaveK]

Hi Ryan

I added about 10k miles altogether and grinned through every single one of them! :-) Most of that was on the two road trips to see Bob and then around New England. Yes, we were fortunate to have good weather on most of the trips.

I didn't realise the number of digits varied - I just assumed it was a Canada-wide thing.

dave,it was a pleasure meeting you...hope we do it again next year

You too, Jacques! Definitely looking forward to having a trip your way next year :thumbsup:

I knew we had more ZR-1 owners in the great white north, yet only 2 are listed in the poll being in North America. So which one of you guys has failed to cast a vote yet, eh? :wink:
