this is incredibly lame but anyway...
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...ea-to-sky.html
the saturday morning breakfast ride has been put on hold now that theres a new sheriff patrolling the highway. i believe that this was a local tradition going back 7 years or so....
on the one hand they are being hung out to dry because they are driving porsches, but on the other hand they were speeding during the long weekend which is a no-no around here.
3 guys are in their 40's, one guy in his 20's.
whats even worse is the reader comments below the story.
As a fellow BC rennlister, I am not surprised by the sanctimonious comments from the looney left in the comments on the article. The PC police are everywhere. Hopefully, the guys weren't driving like idiots.
120 on that highway is comfortable cruising and most people who even sorta know that highway are going that speed.
i think they have rules for the ride...one of them is no passing each other. so ya, i think that they were just out for a nice ride not being d-bag pcar racers. ride was also at 630am
and this is national news! lol
Thats a sad story and feel for my fellow BC friends... Hard for the good guys to have a little good clean fun these days..
How are they able to get a reading off of all 4 cars and is nobody running jammers? Scares me a little as I have a really hard time obeying posted speeds as it seems like a walk in the park for our Autobahn Kings..
Hmmm just another enjoyment with severe consequences attached for experienced drivers..
WOW, very sad. The only thing more crazy than the week impound are the comments by the readers, who are presumably mainly BC citizens but most certainly Canadiens.
My wife and I have been thinking of taking a trip across the border to Niagara Falls(I know that is Ont whereas this road incident took place in BC), this has made up my mind for me: I will NOT be going. I like to de facto vote with my wallet.
I wouldn't blame the entire country of Canada on this incident. That would be like avoiding visiting New York City because someone in Los Angeles upset you.
I used to live in Niagara Falls, NY and it's beautiful in that area with lots to do. Reconsider your position because you'll miss out on one of the wonders of the world and some fun tourist stuff.
My comments were a bit tongue-in-cheek, although the reader comments were very uniform and downright scary. Of course you cannot paint the entire country of Canada in a socialistic light simply from these comments(again my comment was somewhat sarcastic) but then again...
BTW, I have been to Niagara Falls(ONT) many times and liked it. However, I am very serious about this making up my mind for me(also mikeswift's comments helped cement my opinion)...in the end though, I quess I was really looking for a reason not to go.
LOL! In that case it all makes perfect sense.
I thought it was a bit unusual that you are based in PA and hadn't been to the Falls yet. What part of the state? We lived in the eastern part of the state before and the wife's family is from north of Pittsburgh.
I live NW of Philly. Some great Pcar driving roads here in my neck of the woods.
My wife and I visited the Falls a few times when we were dating but that was before legalized gaming in Niagara Falls, Ont. My wife wants to go back but I'm less than enthused...
You must love the winters in NC compared to NF NY. Not to mention the absence of the lake effect snow. I have gone skiing in Ellicottville NY a couple of times and they really get dumped on there.
Actually Western NY is where I learned to love hockey and football so it has a special place in my heart. I was there for my early-to-mid teen years and I've gone back a few times to visit and for a class reunion since then.
I'm a military brat though so since then I've lived in Germany, Colorado, Florida, New York City, Pennsylvania, and finally now North Carolina. So bring on whatever weather you have, I've probably lived through it before!
Not sure what the sad story is - the impounding I guess? We all like to drive fast but don't they have radar detectors in Canada. With these extreme speeds - it only makes sense that you will be caught sooner or later. Especially if you're doing it with 3 other pcar drivers on a highly monitored road.
Just so you know that the police here are not targeting only sports cars, In a related but unreported story, the very next day the same Officer pulled over a pack of 4 Prius's running the same highway at the same high rate of speed, when pulled over 3 of the drivers in their mid 20's were given 300.00 gift certificates to the electrical outlet of their choice, the fourth a man in his mid 40's was given an additional 100.00 for having a save the Whales bumper sticker and a Great Bear rainforest T-shirt, also an additional 50.00 for being over 40, when asked why the high speeds by the Officer ( unconfirmed report, also a Prius owner) the Four said that they were quite sure that there was a Bear or Raccoon at Whistler in desperate need of help, or at least a hug, they were allowed to continue on their way with as little delay as possible.
You really have to live here.
Ya you play you pay bla bla bla. Seizingy our property without conviction is against even our charter, it would never fly in the US. But they get away with it due to all the street racing of several years ago. I agree to pay, just dont touch my car.
Ontario is the same, just drive carefully and watch the 50 over (km/h in Ont). I set my speed warning at 145 just to be safe. Lots of good and amazing reasons to live here, but this is not one of them.
I dont know if i can be sympathetic in this case. Group was caught one week, and the police let them off with a warning...they go to the same place one week later and are going 131KPH in an 80KPH zone ? They knew the risks, yet made a poor decision. Stupid. Seriously.
Well really they were doing 124 in a generally 90 zone at 630 am.
The only negative i have to say about it is that they shouldnt have gone for their usual tootle on the august long weekend.
But i think its just a tad over the top to seize the vehicles with all the other corcumstances .....
I'm surprised that no renn-lister suggested that p-car owners wishing to "put their foot down" should join their local PCA region and participate in DE events...much better place to have high speed fun than public roads.
relinuca
Probably because sometimes fun runs, caravans, cruises, etc... breach the local speedlimit.
I'd still go to Caribanna during the long weekend even though they ticket and tow.
I think what most here(including myself) are referring to as sad are the comments made by the readers following the story.
Although, IMHO, you could certainly call it sad for a Porsche owner to have his car seized and impounded for a week for essentailly driving 80 MPH. And not driving 80 MPH in a quiet neighborhood mind you, this took place on what most people familiar with the road referred to as a major highway.
Was it the exact same group of cars that was issued the warning? Where did you read this? The article quoted above states that it was a "similar" group of cars that was issued a warning the week before, not the exact same group.
Look, I'm certainly not here to defend the Pcar owners as I agree with the pay to play comments. I have no problem with the cops issuing tickets to these drivers. What I do not agree with however, is the Canadian govt. seizing private property in this case. These guys were NOT racing nor were they driving fast through a quiet neighborhood. They were essentially driving 80 MPH on a major highway and it is over the top for the govt. to seize their cars in this scenario.
My point is that we all know the rules. Driving is a privelidge, not a right. So if you live in a province where they can impound for driving X Kilometres over the limit, then there is no sense complaining when you get caught. I've received my fair share of warnings and tickets over the years. I think if we feel we have unjust laws, we should put more effort in lobbying to change them and less in complaining about them.
I wouldn't mind the 50km and over the limit law if the same penalty applied to the left lane bandits. Drive in the left lane for 1 min without passing and you lose your car for a week. That would empty out the left lane quickly. Same with fail to signal lane change. Don't get me started...
Yanks wouldn't understand the type of individual that frequents and comments on CBC stories - they're loonies at the best of time as are most people that spend time commenting on news sites - you know like people that watch Fox News (
). They are by no means representative of Canadians - heck if I judged going to the states based on a given American Law enforcement officers actions (I refer to the Kalamozoo cop/whack job on vacation in Calagary that got upset because he couldn't carry a concealed pistol while on vacation, then felt threatened when a couple of guys chatted to his wife and him in a park - absolutely loonie IMO) i couldn't conclude by that that all Americans are paranoid nut jobs - can I ??
Your comparing apples to oranges when you equate the actions of one nutty American cop with that of the many thousands+ of nutty comments from nutty Canadians, not to mention the topic at hand which is essentially the Canadian government seizing 3 Pcars for simply driving 80 mph on a major highway.
But your comment about the fanaticism of those that post on these Canadian media sites is duly noted.
BTW, say what you will about Fox News but they are far more balanced in terms of news coverage than most American media outlets. Sure, they have a rightwing slant but they also have many leftist guests and give them their say. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the many left leaning media outlets. Trying to find a conservative on these media outlets is like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.
LOL I'm just impressed that some Porsches were actual being driven - I'm yet to see any Porsche driver go remotely quickly (well accept me!!
). These 40 kph seizures are all the rage right now - sport bikes and sports cars are becoming not poliically correct among the chattering classes. That and the general population seems to be frightemed of anything that appears to be the least bit dangerous and fun!! BTW these four guys should have had their radar detctors/jammers on - duffusses!!!
BTW - generally Canadians are the least fanatical individuals about anything, nothing is ever as polorized up here as everything appears to be down south!!
Don't know why we're surprised about snotty P Car comments. I get at least one comment or dirty look every time I drive mine. The thing that irritates me is the impression that somehow we didn't earn the privilege of owning these cars. I can tell you with certainty my daddy did not give me mine! Don't hate the player!
Drive through certain counties in Missouri at more than 20 over and its not the car you will have to worry about, the cuffs will go on you.............
I can honestly say with an ignorant attitude like that, I would not welcome you to Canada either, so no real point in coming anyways (this is the opinion of Jordanturbo, not all Canadians)
I have had a couple big tickets, and now with my family and other obligations and responsibilities, I have learnt that keeping it on the track is the safest option. There is an open track event every friday and saturday pretty well all summer on a 2km Cart track that I will go to when I feel the Need to Speed.
Unless you are in Quebec, and a student, and upset about increased tuition...then you go on strike, throw a few molotov cocktails all hell breaks loose !
.. But in general we all mumble about how bad something is...then go about managing the other 98% our lives that matters.
wow impound for 77 mph. they only went 27. something mph over the limit. in cali if u are under 80 cops dont really bug you. but i bet the sound of the gt3 and turbos made it sound like they were flying
I guess you missed the post, eh, where I explained(for those who are a little slow) that my comments were intentionally a bit tonque-in-cheek...
Between you and mikeswift, Canada could not have two better ambassadors...way to go.
Any one running on the Sea 2 Sky on a weekend is asking for trouble. Either drive the limit or run the very high rish of getting pinched.
Soo many roads in the lower main land to tear up, and you know were the cops will be...
I'm not surprised at the comments that were posted. However, B.C. is a province up here in Canada that has a real "eat the rich" attitude, that is also being crushed under the weight and expense of its ridiculous labour unions. While Vancouver is a beautiful city, its economy is primarily being kept afloat by the influx of rich Asians buying property there - but it is not a business city. All this to say that undoubtedly the police there are under orders to try to bolster the province's sagging coffers by writing more tickets, or confiscating more cars.
Anyway, I regularly drive 40 km/h over the speed limit on the freeways and highways around my city, it's not that big of a deal.
don't want to veer off topic from cars to politics, but conservative government in BC? uh...no.
Many posters on this thread who live here in BC have it bang on; sanctimony is high art here.
