mods, canadian vettes are usually stored in winter.
this is time owners look for new drives, and a lot of them are in the US

My favourite Canadian drive was Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.

I'd seen that site a few years ago but forgot about it. Thanks for posting, some incredible roads posted there. Not much from Canada, have to agree with you about the Cabot Trail. It ranks right up there with the best in the world. I think that there will still be a fair amt of construction going on this summer though. Thanks for posting the link

Allflash had a thread on here about his trip to the East Coast this past summer, maybe he can refresh the thread. GDH you are right about the construction, the road was in tough shape the summer of 2016, it was bad enough in the F150 still not sure how Les got through some of it with the Z06 (we went through it on the same day)

It is a spectacular drive indeed.

Took our 2005 911 coupe to Newfoundland. My wife drove all over. I had frozen shoulder. Highlight. People. Scenery. Roads were rough in the 911. That was a few years ago. Put snow tires on for mid October trip.

Cache Creek to Whistler on Highway 99 in British Columbia is a good recommendation for anybody interested in doing some "spirited" driving out west.

I did highway #1 in California from Morro Bay to Rockport a distance of 760 km. of coastal driving. 9o% of the route you drive beside the ocean in hilly & mountain driving.
No not in the Vette (rental car) from Vegas to San Fran (Super Bowl celebrations)

Just finding this now and am happy to help if anyone has any questions I may be able to cover. last year we did the US and Canada and i wrote this article with videos, maps and piks...

http://www.technologyx.com/auto/23-d...06-test-drive/

This year we did New England through New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, new Brunswick, PEI, Cabot Trail and then tracing Nova Scotia to Digby before crossing back. I posted somewhere here but yes... I found the construction. That is why i got XPel! 41000 km and counting. Thinking of having her shipped to Europe for a tour this year but am having a bit of trouble figuring insurance out... lol
