In front of the Chelsea Pub in Gatineau Park. Nice to see someone driving it year round!

No longer a Bakery (that had great date squares BTW), or are you talking about the little restaurant place beside it out of the picture?

The Chelsea Pub is to the right outta picture, can only see the roof overhang & patio. Other building was a depanieur last, now closed. Just a bit further on the right they opened a Mother Teresa's Italian restaurant, same as the one on Somerset.

Well it is AWD (all Targas are).

I've seen quite a few 997 Carerra 4's for sale that come with winter wheels... if I bought one and it came with winters, I think I'd drive it year round. Wouldn't be my daily all winter, but on days where there's not a fresh foot of snow, or the crap ruts all down the roads... I'd take it. Hell I'd even put a roof rack so I can throw the Thule on & rip up to Tremblant with it  ;D

I've put racks on the roof and gone spring-skiing at Tremblant with my 911.   Tested the rack to 100mph, just to be safe.  ;D

Even this time of year, including this week with all the slush and ice on the roads, I see at least 2-3 911's on the road daily. Very popular mid-town Toronto DD's. Yesterday though, driving home in the little ice storm we had I drove along side a brand new base model 911 piloted by a girl who couldn't have been older than 25 or so for a fairly long stretch of the 401 from Yorkdale to somewhere near the airport when I lost her.

Saw a Monte Carlo SS like this on the way to work yesterday.

Not my thing, but at least it's interesting.

Did a double take when I was behind a dually Ford with an F-150 badge. Quickly realized he must have replaced the tailgate, haha.

Two Model 3s and a Model X. You don't see many Teslas in Regina. Very rare to see three in a short drive.

And one of these buildings used to be L'Agaric, a pretty nice restaurant back in the days - Yup, I grew up in Gatineau  :) and I pedaled that park many times!
