I'm in London, not far from you.

Nice maybe in the summer we could do a meet up or something. Usually cannot wake up for the Rennlist meetings

You're in T.O. and you can't even make it?

It's tough for me to go. Something closer to home would be nice.

I could call some buddies and have a late afternoon meet with dinner. That should give you enough time to make it to town.

You're thinking of the ZR1 which has something like 620 bhp. I think the Z06 is still at 505.

Thanks. I appreciate the offer, but it's tough for me to blow a whole day like that unless it's with the family, in which case I wouldn't be taking the Porsche. Another kid due in July, at which time I won't be able to get away at all!
