My story begins in Edmonton, AB where I arrived 2 nights before the event to pick up a 93

S4. Rob(quattro.pilot) and I were driving down to Idaho, then to WA to the event.

First time at Edmonton International Airport, cold... but a nice Q7 parked outside.
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest1.jpg">

Rob picks me up and off we go to check out the car I was about to buy.
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest2.jpg">

After 2-3 hours of dealing with BC and Alberta insurance companies, a bunch of phone calls

to my friend in BC and a fax receival, I get 3 day insurance and off we go to get some

food.

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest3.jpg">

Rob was taking pictures of the Carbon Fibre trim that he was planning to steal from me.

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest4.jpg">

Here it is. Interior of the car was in much better shape than the exterior.

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest5.jpg">

We got up at 5AM, packed up and headed South!

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest6.jpg">


Alberta is well known for it's beautiful invisible mountains... !.
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest7.jpg">

First fill up, Rob is desperately looking for an Arts and Crafts store...
And we find one! As it turns out, Rob needed suction cups to mount his radar detector on

the windshield.

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest8.jpg">



One more stop for food!
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest10.jpg">

Rob takes the opportunity to snap some pix of his dirty car.
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest11.jpg">

After a bunch of freeway driving we get to Rockies and enjoy the scenery
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest12.jpg">

As we pull up into the lineup waiting for the ferry, a white Subaru parks behind us with

Sean D (quattro20v) getting out of it. He drove from Vancouver to Seattle in his S6, took

a plane to Spokane and rented out a car, lazy but still better than missing out on S-fest

completely, that's the spirit!
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest13.jpg">

On the ferry

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest14.jpg">

Nice scenery and sunset

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest15.jpg">

So we arrive, Eric(SilberUrS6), Gabe and Carl were already there, as we know from part 1.
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest16.jpg">

I snap a quick picture of some goodies kindly donated by our sponsors
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest17.jpg">

Carl's and Stephanie's hospitality amazes Rob and I as we get some yummy food and beer!

Later on Keegan(KoupeKrazy) and Dave F. (UrS4boy) arrive in the dark. Also Don(donaldsS6)

from Quebec found us later in the night. He had no idea where the event was when he came

and checked in to his cabin at the nearby resourt. The story he told us was, one of the

guys passing by his cabin offered Don a drink and once they started talking and Don

mentioned Carl, the guy turned out to be one of Carl's friends/neighbours and kindly

pointed Don in the right direction :-)
This was the last picture for that night, for obvious reasons :-)


<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest18.jpg">

I get up early, and go snap some early morning shots outside.

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest19.jpg">

lskolnick was sleeping up at the "loft" and when he woke up the ladder wasn't there

anymore

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest20.jpg">

Getting down is not an easy task when you are hung over from the night before

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest21.jpg">

A few more shots outside with the only 1 S6 avant at the event!!!

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest23.jpg">

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest26.jpg">

We get to see the shiny

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest29.jpg">

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest30.jpg">

I give it a try
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest31.jpg">

Then Skoolie warms up
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest32.jpg">
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest33.jpg">

Eric arrives like this... a healthy man... but a bigger workout was still ahead of him
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest34.jpg">

Bigger is better
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest35.jpg">

Carl asking Gabe not to crash it
<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest36.jpg">

We take both bikes and ride to the log cabin to find everyone who arrived for S-Fest and

<img src="http://www.a1movies.ca/sfest_west2007/sfest37.jpg">

spedrcr

the kind words. Can't wait to see the wide body on your UrS to get those wheels to tuck.

chefbob

Nice writeup and pics, and thanks for the props for the generous shots of a //sfest east t-shirt

AudiSport4000

Looks like ya'll had a great time. Excellent photos and captions

escargot

Fantastic writeup!

SilberUrS6

Yeah, my beer belly is broken.

Very nice pics - the tequila one with Gabe cracked me up.

You got some red X's going after the drawing - it may well be that ISATI, however.

Only-Emre

Great love for these cars on both sides of the coast. Good show guys.

UrS4boy

down. Freaked me out when I saw it but I checked the other side and there was a bit of a bump that was pushing the right front up, transferring weight to the left rear.

And I like the no "hub cap" look on my wheels.

Once again, great write-up.
