Edmonton's expecting three in four weeks for our auto show.  One of our

local dealers is bringing the one that they had in Vancouver to Edmonton

early and giving our club a private showing a week early.  Can't wait.

Ah, but Keith, what's an Impreza RS when I've had a ride in an Impreza

WRX?  Granted the RS is imprezive (sic) but it's just not the same.  Same

goes for driving my friend's Audi 90 Quattro today at our first Ice Dice

event, not quite up to rally specs, being about 320bhp short of the either

of the Quattro S2's that Frank Sprongl and John Buffum drive.  At 130bhp,

the 90 Quattro just wasn't enough fun.  Next one in two weeks the Miata

will make it's return to the ice...it's been three years...and Filou's

looking forward to it!
