We should talk about planning a meet and greet event this summer... Let me know if interested.... Would be cool to get together, swap ideas and show off our toys....

 

i wonder how much lower mainland owners wanna drive up to alberta?


it should be a fun meet if we have around 5+ cars travelling up to alberta.

 

The drive is very nice as well. The scenary is very pretty, especially this time of year. If you do not do it on a weekend or a holiday, there are not too many cops on the highway.

 

Made it to Edmonton in 9hrs, but I don't think I'll repeat that this summer.

 

Hi,

If you call Ericson Nissan in Edmonton one of the managers (service? Parts?) runs a Z club. They had a meeting few weeks ago and apparently do occasional runs.

Really nice dealership, I just wish they would admit my shifter isn't smooth at all.

 

9 hrs to Edmonton, that's no way to enjoy the scenary. But hell of a way to enjoy the car, though!!! How was the trip, or should I say the car in those 9 hours?

 

Scenary??? We're talking Edmonton here! No I'm kidding, it was 9hrs driving. Took 11hrs intotal with 1.5 hr lunch break and stopping to relax every now and then. There was just no traffic. Up the Yellowhead for about 45mins I didn't come up on one single car and nobody going the other way. With my girl asleep it was pretty lonely and with no one around I didn't even realize I was cracking 150kph in spots, the Z was so smooth. There was just nobody on the road. We did however enjoy our time in Jasper national park. If there was one thing to make the road part of the trip worthwile, it would have been that park. Absolutely majestic.

The way back was another story. End of the May long weekend was crawlling most of the way behind campers. 11hrs driving 13hrs in total with lunch and dinner.

The Z did the whole trip great. I have got the bra with the car because of all the hwy driving I'll be doing, and it did a great job keeping the bugs and rocks off the front. Pull it off when cruising round town and slap it on for the road trips. I had just finished break in when I took her up so everythin was tight when we left but on the way back you could almost feel the car loosening up. We fit lugage for a week, going to a wedding, and I could still see out the back window! Not that you can see a damn thing anyway. It was packed to the **** but I could still pass on command. Made half the Coq hill in 6th but had to drop to 5th for the last 1/4 or so.
