I'm not really counting Muscle Cars  here, either.  Winnipeg is a blue collar town with a large cruise night culture, so beautifully restored and modified muscle cars are everywhere.

They do, they do.  And in the summer they over compensate for the parkas they have to wear in the winter.

Jesus, the Golden Horseshoe is just one big, never ending city.  It's just CRAZY. 

In Winnipeg, we have active, functional farmland WITHIN CITY LIMITS.  Thousands of Acres of it, actually.  And once you get out of the city, it's nothing but farmland and empty wilds until you hit Regina.

Out of all the cars you have seen DRIVING (i.e. not parked up) which one would you most want to own?

 ??? What difference does it make...driving or parked?

Driving: Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona in Montreal, Ferrari F40 on the A8 to Salzburg and in Kitzbuhl, one fast Porsche on the A3 to Cologne.
Parked: McLaren F1

If I had a chance to own some cars, I'd own many interesting examples...Ferrari 250 GTO, Porsche 917 short tail...just to name two.

While waiting for my letter to come up at the Eurotunnel. There were two other McLaren F1s parked in the row behind this one. There are no poor people in the UK...

Because it's easy to see nice cars parked up, just go down to the local Ferrari dealer.  Seeing an exotic at anywhere near full throttle is much more of a thrill than seeing one parked up.  Don't get in a huff just because your fave pic is in a car park!  :P ;D

Well I'll be just as happy to see a 917 short tail parked, because I and I am sure most, have not seen one in the flesh unless we were lucky enough to be at LeMans (Le Monz  ;D) back in the early 70s.

I plan to visit the new Porsche museum this summer where I'll get that chance to see it...at least parked.

OMG, are those file photos or were they taken at that event? Talk about getting a bone!

I'll be passing by Stuttgart as I do every year, so I might as well go. Maybe even the MB museum which I heard is unbeatable.

No, these cars are at the event.  But even better they are racing around a track, not sitting in some static display.  It's a must see.  Airfare is cheap.  The top of the line 3 day ticket with meals was only $250.

OK...details please! Web site?

Is this a Porsche only event? Is it affiliated with any other event?

I'm retiring early and this might be a nice treat. Where do you fly into; LAX or SF. Do you rent a car to get down? And where do you end up staying?

There's a bed and breakfast we stayed last time.  I'll have to look for the name.  The track is Laguna Seca. FWIW, you cannot believe how large the dip in the course is at the Corksrew!!   Sure you could rent a car from the airport depending how far you wanted to drive.  LAX is quite a decent haul though.  San Jose airport is about 1.5 hours away and is the best bet IMO.  Monterey Air field is close..not sure who or what flies into there. 

The event is the RennSport reunion. 

And I already posted a link for you..just click on "availability" for tickets

**EDIT**  If you are part of some Porsche forum (Rennlist??) you may be able to get a break on hotels and such with a "group discount" as I'm sure many from Rennlist will be there.
