Old 750iL...

I'm northbound on the Burrard street bridge yesterday aft/eve when a previous-model 7-series comes blazing up. He pulls into the left lane and slows down.

I glance over. He has mags and suspension; his rear wheels were actually really wide.

I look up at the guy. He's in his 20's. He's looking at me, stabbing his accelerator and trying to nudge me on.

I go, .

He actually shrugs his shoulders and fades off.

I wonder if he
A. Had any idea
B. Wanted just to find out
C. Had a little Blue Bottle for me or something

Oh well...

I actually do that oftenly too and it seems like it frustrates them even more!

I used to see you driving around quite a bit more before. Have you thought about a date for our Vancouver gathering?

I'm quite preoccupied for the next 6 weeks, working extensively on the north shore.

Maybe the November long weekend...

The November long weekend would be fine for me as well, it being a long weekend could allow some of the Seattle area people to come up as well?

As far as I know..it's just me that posts on here regularly that's from Seattle. I'd love to make it up in November...are you talking about Thanksgiving weekend? I'll be back by then I believe. Will be traveling throughout the orient for a month but I think I'll be back in time and I'll probably be dying to go on a good drive!
