If you're a fellow Edmontonian, you can understand the struggle we've had over the past few weeks. The weather has been uncooperative lately, warming up, followed by a snow storm, then returning to mild temperatures again. However, the forecast finally gave us some hope and a whole week of sunshine. Count me excited!
For spring prep, there wasn't much to do car-wise besides doing a wheel swap. The Enkei TS10s are back on the car and the winter wheels have been washed, wiped, and coated, ready for storage. Since the weather has been amazing thus far, I've seen my fair share of summer cars and motorcycles out. Upon visiting TT Automotive on my day off, I noticed their summer cars were out too!
Exhibit A: Porsche 911 4s (997.1)
Exhibit B: Ferrari F430
I know Terence definitely isn't the type to show off, but I couldn't help but smile and think in my head "dayumm" walking up to the shop today!
This was also one of the first times I've seen the Ferrari outside in the sun. When it was shipped over from Toronto, it was hidden under 3 car covers and tucked into the corner of the shop. The Rosso Corsa color pops in the sunlight!
Also had to take some glamor shots of the Slamry. It looks insanely low but there's a dip in the road where I parked.
The front lip is barely an inch off the ground...I don't know how people who actually have their cars that low drive in Edmonton!
One more from the rear
This GC8 was in for some enging refreshing. Love the gold rims and livery.
The carbon rear wing is amazing too. Apparently this was a shop car before it was purchased by the current owner.
Saw these BBS Lemans at the shop that were being cleaned up. I believe the specs were 18x8.5+38 on 235/40/R18 rubber. Perfect specs for my car, but I wouldn't be able to afford them!
In other, completely unrelated news, I'll be off in Portland/Forest Grove next week and will be snapping away! There'll be new car content coming up this summer as well, with the 780Tuners Season Opener, Driven Calgary, and the ECM Meet all happening in May. Exciting!
Until next,
Gary
