Are you going to beat me with the break in time?

I don't have my snows on yet. I'm still recovering from all the excitement.

Here's what my M will look like in a week or 2: this kit sets off the car so well. It almost looks boring without it.......>>>

Yes Yes Yes
I totally agree with your choice on the kit. It really adds a serious performance feel in addition to the expensive luxury sedan look.
Good choice.

Hahaha, yeh haven't we all done that from time to time.....I do it every time I see a 'G'...
Maybe I should put a disclaimer on the bumpers that I won't be held liable for any overexuberant neck snapping.
Seriously tho, I don't think it's any more 'flash' than the G-cars, and perhaps a little less conservative than the Coupe.
Some may feel the size of the M is a little less attractive, along with its heft. Tho from what little I've experienced so far, its size and weight hasn't affected the handling badly at all. I'm amazed at how nimble a 4000 lb ride can be.
Yeh it's attractive and the new Aero kit will improve her looks even more, but I doubt it'll affect the G's admirers much.
Thanks for the kudos tho....It helps me somewhat justify the extra cost, as well as the tech features of all the toys on her. Sure keeps me occupied.
If the truth were known, the more I learn about this ride, the more I realize how amazing it is, and the less deserving I feel I am. It really is much more than I need but man, I sure like this ride. I haven't felt this way about a car b4.
One thing I am reasonably sure of is that the 'shine' won't wear off this car very quickly.--- I think I've finally found the ride I've been searching for.
Thanks again for all your encouragement.....
When I get some free time, I'll post a more detailed write-up on all the features (once I learn them better. ) ..
First, tho, I'd better get with it and put my snows on b4 I get in trouble. I've got the use of my bro's Solara while its up for sale so I'm 'cheating' right now and using it on crummy days.
Another topic of conversation here lately is my planned trip to the east coast this summer. It looks like early June is best from my standpoint, barring that, it'll have to be late summer. The old friend from England in Lunenburg runs a B&B (Pelham House) and apparantly is very busy from late June to early September.
So more on that later with you east-coasters.....
Colin.

I hope you get those snows on before Monday or I hope it doesn't snow. I know inTgr8r and I are looking forward to seeing your awesome ride and all it's toys. We don't want to see your bro's old Solara.

Haha, I understand bro. You think I'd show up to a 'G' & 'M' meet driving a Toyota??????????? Shake you head. Never never never.
That would be stretching the friendship wouldn't it.....
I'll be there with bells on, maybe even with snows......, but definitely with the M.
Let's not forget to touch base Sunday to confirm things.
C.
and besides, it's supposed to be sunny Monday.

I am definitlely looking forward to hearing all the details of your M. I even started a thread a couple of days ago wanting to hear all about your M....so that might be a good place to post once you get used to all the gadgets and gizmos!
Early June sounds good to me! I think we should defnitely hold off on our Maritime G meet until you come down this way. I looks like Deane, Jeremy, myself, and you will be there for sure. Should be a good time!!

We're headed for another heavy snowfall warning today. You must be sending it our way again.
That's great you're so happy with the car. I know it takes a lot to keep an enthusiast to stay enthralled with a car. Believe it or not my last one- a 93 MX6 kept me for 11 years. It was a fantastic car to drive and just needed a little more oomph.
That is good to hear that the East Coast trip is still on. As Canuck has said we can meet in N.B. in Sackville on your way down. You must be thinking of somewhere else when mentioned the military base there.
I will be in Lunenburg on June 12 morning racing a 5km event so if you're there then you can watch me run my guts out!
They usually have 4-500 turn out for the event.

My friend,
That sounds good to me. I'll have to plan for that. Hopefully I'll be recovered from running in the Cabot Trail relay May 29. I've got the 20km leg that covers Cape Smokey!

Yikes, 20km is a long run....my hats off to you! I walk about 15 kms a week playing golf....but running 20km flat out is something I don't think I could do....or should I say I KNOW I couldn't do!
When I was thinking about meeting in Sackville, it was mainly because it's a half way point for the two of us. I got thinking after that I am not sure what is there in Sackville, except a Tims, an Irving, and Mount A. It would be nice to maybe go somewhere for a beer, that is if everyone is up for that. If that is the case, maybe Moncton would be a better choice. Or, if just a Timmies is what everyone would want, we could stick with Sackville. Anyways, just a thought. I am definitely up for anything.

When my wife gets back from Cuba next Sunday I'll ask her what's in Sackville. She's Mount A Alumni. If there's nothing there I'm flexible to something that works for everyone.
It sounds like we both have our sports addictions but they're quite different.
I'm not a golfer at all. I used to go out with my staff and do 9 holes each year as well as our client appreciation tourney and hated every minute of it!
20k is no problem. It's just the Cape Smokey part of it running hard on extreme uphill grade for 2.1 k and then hammering the quads coming down the other side. Tomorrow I do 35km for a total of 100k this week over 6 days. (I'm not looking forward to it with this storm though) I'm 5 weeks away from running Boston again.
Do you think we'll recognize the M coming down the road to meet us??
