Making breakfast this morning, and whoops we're out of bacon. So I step outside to walk over to the gas station on the corner, and what's turning from Southland onto Elbow?

I'm pretty sure that's what I saw, anyway. It was on Westbound Southland making a left turn, and I heard it revving but couldn't see the whole thing (gas pumps etc. in the way), and then when it went by on Elbow my mind was just going WTF so all I got were a few details. I'd never seen one before or really even looked at pictures, so I had to search around a bit before I saw something that looked familiar.

Cool, but as the car sped away Matt was able to take one final picture

there's an S7 kit car in Calgary, I saw it up on 16th the other day (blueish in colour) It didn't sound like an S7 thoe.. very lumpy idle.

They are purdy cars... oh, and Ian, your photochop makes no sense.

it was the ZR auto group annual drive to banff...when i was up there this afternoon i saw the enzo, the S7, a 328 GTS, couple 360's, a 355 spider, and a few lambo's

on the way back guess which car broke down?



















yup the POS saleen...sorry yes they are hot, but from what i have seen they have the most problems engine wise of any supercar type vehicle

when he started it up it was shooting straight oil out the exhaust :roll:

but when we did see them leaving...that enzo start up and take off...boy that was quite something to be seen/heard in person

ciao
