hope you can catch up with us maybe meet in Eureka Friday night

WOW! She's a beauty Brent! Which one would I take? Hmmm....VETTE! LOL

I think I probably speak for everyone when I say that of course you're allowed to take the Z!

I was talking to Gwylym today and he says you are so pumped over this car. It's always nice to be able to achieve a dream! Can't wait to see it in person.

She's Beautiful Brent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it would be ok. Layla and I let one tag along with us on the way back from Jasper, so we could afford you the same privilege .

Nice Car Brent! Saw one identical to it in Kalispell, back in July. So would you take the vette down the road from Carway to East Glacier?

Doesn't sound like you've had much luck with the popos running the road to the Roosville crossing. I've been running that road for the past 4 years to golf state side and have never seen a single fuzzy wuzzy. Last golf trip a buddy running his vette blew past a ghost car just south of Eureka. Got pulled over but was luckily let off with a warning!

Big Fork is alright but the drive from Kalispell is boring.

Thanks peeps, we'll see how it treats me I guess. For sure not as "civilized" a ride as the camaro. 1st through 3rd feel about the same for power but it pulls harder in the upper gears. Still love my camaro but this has been something I've REALLY wanted since the C6 Z06 came out. Hopefully I feel the same way after spending some time in it.

And thanks for letting me hang out in the cruise still . Who knows might take the camaro if its around just to keep the "flow".

I still would take it, the number of times I'd have to slow down for a crap section would far outweigh the number of corners that would put a grin on my face. Would be nicer in the camaro I would think on the uneven sections (clearance and smoother ride). Can always skip the short cut too, doesn't save much.

Just in last year I've noticed the increased cops on BC side, that's on the road 4 times a month at least (return trip included) all four seasons, you're doing great if you haven't seen them yet. From mid 90's to now though, could count on my hand how often I would see a cop from Elko to Roosville. From Eureka to Whitefish there are a few common sitting spots I see them but only once in a while. Just outside east Libby they like to trap as well. learned that the hard way,,, well if $20 for 20kms over can be considered hard.

With such a large group of hot cars there might be a bit of a heat score. When leaving Eureka might be a good idea to go a back road to hwy 37 out of town. 4-5 years ago a group of exotics parked in town and headed out 37, the Eureka cops radioed the Libby Staties and were waiting for them. Throwing out the diversion tactic might be good, nice scenery at the least. Just something as a large group might be worth noting.... or keep it to no more than 5-10 mph over. The speed limit on the twisty sections is still a hoot.

Looks like I might have a liitle issue with the 16th.........I'm on my way to Calgary right now to get a new passport. Oops hopefully the new one arrives in time

[Garoad Shenlong]

You can get a "rush" put on it for a few extra bucks. I had to do that last year when i got mine at the last minute for a trip to Idaho.

Really, hmmm. If only you let me know earlier we could have met for a drink.

Oh wait, that was you that cut me off on Deerfoot and coerced me into meeting you at the pub.

Even a mere 5 minutes trailing you reminded me of how fun our ride back from Jasper was. I not so sure I can resist another Camaro ride with everyone else...

Was great seeing you and everyone else I managed to run into yesterday, was a pretty sweet day, passport issues solved, new chips in my windshield fixed for free from a person I'd met 5 min earlier And I got to run into you Robd and Kray what a nice day

[Meltdownaverted]

So who's planing on coming?
