Rob996 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I was thinking that we should head out the old hi-way to Canmore. I think Danielle smiles the whole way. Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
KevinJ Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Don't forget to stop at the Rogers Pass Visitor Centre to check out the diorama. There is a young lady going with the Thursday group who is a big fan of these displays. Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment

Rob996 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We should all get together the weekend before for a coffee and go over our rout and were we plan to stop. I am good for Sept 3rd or 4th.

Caymanwalter Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 A gtg the week before sunpeaks would be great, are you thinking a mini drive or such? Mckays in Cochrane might be nice if it is not raining, although I think Kevin was talking about a nice drive to Banff too. I might have a bring a different car though as my Cayman might still be in Norden's shop for some new bits being put on. Quote Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Just heard from Renee. My car is done and she said it looks great. I feel like a kid at Christmas. I just want to leave early to go get it. I am up for a mini drive or just a coffee depending on the weather. Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Brodie Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Rob did Renee take before and after pics of your car? I can't wait to see it. September 4 is good for Danielle and I. Quote Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 She is posting a picture thread from start to finish. I cant wait to drive it. I think.......I KNOW it will go faster now:cool: Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Just picked up my car. (It think it is my car.) It is actually Red, not faded orangey-red. Renee is posting all of the pictures. She did an amazing job. I don't remember this car being this red and shiny any time over the last 11 years. I think I will just leave it in my garage and stare at it until September.

JT997TT Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 WOW! Congrats - that will be very enjoyable. Money well spent it sounds like. I'll be watching for pics!

Rob996 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 here is a taste of what my 928 looks like before and after. Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Fritz Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 How did she turn the black fenders in to red fenders:o:o Hope she does not turn my green car into a yellow car. Quote Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have put the pics on my profile in a new album. Why does the upload not load the pictures in order? It loaded the pics randomly and now i can not sort them? Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Fritz Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Warning I got this message from a BC participant I discovered this problem last weekend when I travelled to Sun Peaks from Revelstoke B.C. West along the Trans Canada ( Hwy #1.) Most GPS navigation devices and Google maps give directions to turn right at Squilax Anglemont Road just before or the Pinantan road after Chase B.C. *_THIS ROAD IS A_**_N_**_ UNPAVED BACKROAD_* and should not be used unless you have an SUV or 4X4! I actually spoke to a number of tourists that were guided along this road in their poor rental cars. It is imperative that people coming to Escape should *drive through Kamloops and take the Yellowhead (Hwy #5) North then turn right at Old Highway 5* ( Heffley louis Creek road) to Sun Peaks.

Brodie Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hey Guys, Here is the list of who is leaving Thursday morning. We will be meeting at 7:30 AM and departing at 8 AM sharp from Starbucks in Crowfoot center. If you are not on the list and are planning on joining us please post a message here or private message me. Martin and Christina K Steve W Brodie and Danielle G J. Ian and Karen C Rob and John C Dan and Tracy B Quote Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Google Maps shows 660km going through Kamloops on the paved road (not the way the map first shows) With fuel, food and Code Yellows and unwanted construction, that should run about 8 ish hours. I have 2 radios I am going to bring. Anyone else that has any 2 way radios should bring them for car to car communications. (I am still unable to text in a car like an 18 year old girl) Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Brodie Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 We are going to see if Costco still has the 3 pack of radios. It would be nice to have one radio per car. Quote Link to comment
Fritz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Rob, Mapquest shows 8hr 45 minutes without code yellow, construction delay and lunch. Fritz Quote Link to comment
Rob996 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 THat would be taking into acount that we held 90 kph all the way through BC. Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
tbull Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ramona and I are leaving on Thursday morning. I don't want to commit right now on joining the group as work might cause me some delay in departing. We did move off the waiting list into the main event! We are not staying in the Delta, we rented a condo up the street off the golf course. Looking forward to a great weekend! The German Beer sounds great...all you can drink I hope!!!
