I know a number of you made trips out to the West Coast this summer....did anyone take highway 3 instead of the TransCanada?? I drove the "longer" route (hwy 3) last Thursday and it was a hoot....it is amazing how quickly 12 hrs can go by when you are having that much fun.....the climbing, the corners, and with very little traffic it is a drive that I highly recommend to others (in a sports car of course). The weather was great so with lots of sunscreen and a hat I drove most of the time with the top down. The nice thing about the S is that you don't have to drive stupid to have fun...at least I didn't (perhaps I am getting too old). The one bad experience I had was related to our annoying headlights....on the windy and bumpy Hope-Princeton run I was pissing alot of people off when following them.....I got alot of high beams in my rear view mirror after passing folks.

 

Yeah, I've done that route too. As you say, lots of fun but most of the time, I'm kinda pressed for time and I take #1. I really must slow down and smell the roses.

 

I love #3 , and I know what you mean about getting flashed , last nite I was coming home from Forestburg and must have been flashed about 15 times , even on Hiway #2 , one guy came up behind me and flashed me after I passed him , I was pissed so I jammed on the brakes and flashed him too ! , . I drove Hiway #3 in the fall last year , i think I burned off my tires , but it was AWESOME , I felt like Mario Andretti ! he he

 

That's it, you have convinced me to take highway #3. I am still in Victoria and will be getting back very soon...I think?

 

I thought you were back in Calgary already...I was in Victoria last Saturday and Friday...we could have had a "mini-meet" !!
