Default plans this weekend?

Hey everyone just wondering what everyone is planning on doing this weekend. I think me and the GF are going to do a small drive down to Lake Placid tommorow for the day.

Wing and I were talking about a detail day because it's been ages and I haven't washed my car in a coons age as well. For me the next 3 weekends are not good but definitely sometime in August!

Got the day off today - coming into the city to test drive a G35 Coupe MT6


As far as august goes - ALMS Mosport weekend is fast approaching!!

The Labour Day Weekend Grand Prix of Mosport

Mosport's biggest weekend of the year features the American Le Mans Series and SPEED World Challenge Series. The American Le Mans Series' world-class field of drivers and cars highlight pure racing skill and leading edge technology. Coupled with the SPEED World Challenge GT and Touring championships, this is major league racing at it's best. See the next generation of stars as Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti race in the open-wheel Star Mazda Series. Also on the schedule are the Honda / Michelins and Ontario Touring Car Championship. "For The Fans" is the theme of the weekend, consisting of autograph sessions, infield activities, an outdoor expo & marketplace and more.

yeah, i have a feeling its going to feel big and mushy, but I think any car is going to feel that way compared to the S2000.

A little disappointed about the lack of Brembo package this year too...

Simon please post a review after you do the test drive. I'd like to hear how it is? I imagine like you guys have said it will be a softer ride. Should be some nice low end power though.

Good luck!

Or perhaps maybe you were hungover!
