Not often anymore, I love Vancouver and Victoria. I'm originally from Washington state so have an appreciation for the beauty of the Northwest.

Hangover or no hangover people still show up... It's worth it. Were usually there until 11ish. We do some car testing too if you catch my drift.

I would love to, but it is a long way. Your drive is crazy enough. Mapquest says it's like 1,100 miles. Maybe you can post up some vids of your S55 screaming down the track.
