    That's fantastic.
    What is that location? It doesn't look like the Kelowna area.

    We used to race on that road all the time. leave the Honda dealership by Skaha and head through to OK Falls to the cliffs.
    I gotta get back down there soon!

    Those were the days when it took cajones to drive a race car.
    I just took a '23 Mercedes 29/95 Targa Florio to Pebble beach.
    7.2 litre, 1800 rpm redline, 90 mph!
    The gear and supercharger whine on those old cars is incredible.

    Jeff , the only race on that road is by cyclists !
    They own that road . You must have heard of the "Iron Man" marathons there .
