If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Wrong gen. That looks like a 2002 XJR 100.

You are exactly right, it is a 2002. A 2009 XJ Vanden Plas was in the week before, got confused between the two.  ;D

Not at work but while walking the dog tonight i saw an Acura RDX PMC edition in the thermal orange colour.  Apparently only 30 of these were made available for sale in Canada.  Looked really good with the shiny black trim and certainly stood out.  Perfect colour for the NSX as well.

Rode my bike down to the Forks yesterday evening.  They were filming a movie.  Lots of really cool old cars about. 








I think it may be for a new CBC series called 'The Porter', apparently about black railway porters during the 1920's.  Considering I saw all these cars next to Winnipeg's Union Station, it fits.

Just ran into one of these Mclaren mustangs at a red light, just like the picture below. Guy is the second owner, had it since 7,000km, now has 30,000km eight years later. Cool car.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Yes, lot of cool old cars. This one is plated from Québec, I hope they didn't drove all the way there riding on Trans-Canada highway   ;D

So couple days ago I saw a red Karma Revero, and today I saw a silver one - that's maybe 38% of Canadian sales right there. They still look odd. I drove one for five minutes at an event, a piece of trim fell off.

Saw a second-gen Hyundai Excel 4-door sedan this evening.  A little rough around the edges, but amazingly, still quite roadworthy.
