Mazda in the Mountains 2006

Yeah Nick, what do you mean by 'bad'?? I was up the end of June and it was still good for driving, etc... But if you want to introduce me to more twistie roads, I won't say no Glen.


FYI - the absolute BEST twistie road is Hwy 4 from Parksville to Tofino on Vancouver Island; 3 hours of non-stop curves up, down and around cliffs, rivers and mountains. Drove this last week and it was a BLAST!!!!! (first) Too bad it's so far away.
 
bad because of al lthe damn cyclists. I went up again at like 9:30 one night and it was SWEET cause you could huck all the corners real fast. I even pulled the e-brake around a few. But during the day, too much traffic. Weak-sauce.
 
got the Hiboost mani and I m back in action....mmm emanage is nice. So mountains it is...well I guess we can reverse drift on the icy roads lol
 
That is a great road!

I have soooo many awesome roads around me here in Castlegar.... if you are ever in the west kootenays I can show you some twisty roads!

^ definitely!!

for those who don't know hwy 4 on the island, here's a screen shot from google earth... hwy 4 is the green line. i can't say enough how awesome a road it is (first)

as well, i've attached a couple pics from the trip; they barely hint at how beautiful the scenery is.

less than a week to go :) hopefully the weather will cooperate like last year

just wondering, is there going to be a pre-meet at Peter's Drive In in Calgary Friday night like there was last year? i know craig and i will be there (still arguing over which car gets to go, lol), i think one or two other guys from edmonton will be there too....

Jeff, you didn't respond to my pm - you going? if so, let me know when you're planning to head down :)
 
Whos welcome at MITM?

Hey,
I'm a new P5 owner (about a month), and want to know whos welcome out at MITM? It sounds like a great event, and although I don't know anyone, and my ride is straight stock, I'd love to come through and check out the rides.
 
We'd LOVE to have you out! It's a great fun event for everyone, even if your car is still stock, you might get some ideas on what to do by checking out other people's rides.

Funky...sounds like a few of the RX8 guys will be attending. I might not make it to Cop but will join up with everyone at the meeting site.
 
any word on a pre-meet like last year? trying to decide if we should head out friday already, or just meet up with everyone on sat at COP.
 
It looks like I am going to show up to help represent the 6 with SmilinVamp. See you all there.

Oh yeah, somebody better be bringing a wife or gf... mine is concerned she will be the only one.
