Hi Folks,

I was driving back from the Okanagan on Monday and bumped into 2 California Gullwings at the Chevron station in Golden, BC. I said hello and mentioned that I would likely be in Banff with the Porsche club to see their cars. They responded by telling me about the very poor treatment they received by Canadian Customs border officials (and therefore "Canadians must hate Americans")! I felt bad for them then and worse still 1/2 hour later as the developing snow storm deposited a thick rind of ice on the front of my car................... The blue car with the beautiful knock-off Rudge wheels was restored, but the red one was completely original!!! Will we ever see these cars here again?

Well ... good afternoon everyone ...

 

Today's drive to Banff was eventful in several ways.

 

#1.) Tremendous turn out for the drive. 25 cars ... and we remainded as a group for the entire trip. Quite a spectacle in our own right making our way down the main drag in Banff.

 

#2.) The Gull Wing cars at the Banff Springs were stunning to see. Coupe's & Roadsters ranging in age from 1954 - 1961 ... Wow.

#3.) And we rolled the GT3 odometer through a milestone on the return leg of the drive. Most notable about that was I was not a the wheel ... rather my trusty co-driver (and Single Malt Scotch aficionado) for the day Dan.

Enjoy the post ... and I will look forward to seeing more pics of the Gull Wings from others that attended.

 

Barnsey! :cool:

Thanks for leading the drive, Rick.

 

I'm a Porsche guy...but if there's any car that makes us look pedestrian, it's a Gullwing. They were simply stunning.

 

Some shots of my own (there are more in the Flickr album if interested).

Phew... glad all the snow melted!! The white remains made for pretty scenery we don't usually see on a summer drive.
