Vancouver...3 Turbos

So my first visit to Vancouver (25th anniversary) and within 10 minutes from the airport I pass 2 997TTs, 1 996TT (on Granville) and 2 Gallardos...wow what a town. And the city is quite nice too! Sorry no pics as I was driving, but speed yellow, black and seal grey (996TT). Imust admit they look very haut.

I live in Vancouver now. There are SO many exotics here. Tough competition for the single guys. A truly underrated city in my eyes. Cannot go downtown on a sunny day without seeing a new Italian breed.
Whereabouts are you staying while you are here?

we're about 2 hours away from BC and visit often. Lott$a money up there but ****ty street roads and WAY to much traffic to go fast. However there are some seriously cool sweeping backroads when you get into North Van etc.

Was out downtown for about 10 minutes earlier and saw an F430 spider.

Welcome to town!

I just got back from a road trip to Fremont, California and will report under separate thread tonight.

The drive to Whistler is memorable; but as mentioned, try it during a low-traffic time.

Cheers!

Vancouver is one of the best cities in the world. Great food, and friendly people. The aquarium in Stanley Park is a must see.
