Hi Guys,
FYI, I am heading up to Calabogie tomorrow afternoon for a track session from 5-7pm.

If anyone is interested, I'm more than willing to take passengers for some laps if you want to see the capabilities of the FR-S on the track.

Before the track session, we will also be taking the twisty roads from Carleton Place to get to Bogie in early afternoon.

Kind of figured that, I waved and gave the guy a thumbs up, he ignored me, I'm thinking you would have waved back. LOL.

Thanks for the offer Slick. I'd love to see you in action.
But I'm working. Maybe in the near future?

Sounds like a good idea Andre. I have to install a garage door opener hopefully in the morning. If all goes well i might meet you down there. Weather permiting as well. apparently it's monsoon season in Ottawa.
First oil change next friday. Mendes doing it for free. Talked to sales manager and he says 2000+ FRS sold to date, only 1761 allocated for Canada. That my friends is a problem. Trying to order the TRD spoiler through dealership. No luck so far. I am little hesitant to go through third party. Pastuch were you in Barrhaven tonight? Saw a white BRZ on Strandherd

Got a honk and wave from a black frs the other night as I just got off the highway and you were getting on at Parkdale. Anyone here? I was in the white BRZ.

Spent way too much time putting in a garage door opener for the car. 4:30 pm and fed up, I decide to make my way quickly down to calabogie to take Andre up on his offer. A fantastic experience! Andre outstanding intro to proper race technique, the car is awesome on the track. Perfectly balanced. Never once felt out of control, and trust me Andre pushes the limits in every corner. Once again excellent driving Andre and thanks for a great experience. pS. Had a hard time keeping it under 130Km on the way home. Sheeesh.

No problems Paul, good thing I needed to gas up and saw your car there!

Was a fun session, only a few people to play with though, too bad we couldn't catch that C6.

Mike Trespassing again....

Mike: Did you intend to mount the front plate that way?

Yes, I think it looks better in this location.

Oh Ok. Reason I asked was TG very nearly screwed up my front plate install (before I stopped the fellow -- he wasn't going to use the bracket at all)... figured something similar might have happened to you.

Cheers
