I know I haven't been very active on the ol' forum lately (nearly 1000 unread messages on just the Triumph section for me... yikes!) been exceedingly busy with life and jobs and relationships and such...
Anyway. Thought I would share a recent drive. Sunday my girlfriend and I drove up Mount Evans (one of Colorado's 54 14,000+ foot mountain peaks). This is the highest paved road in North America and the parking lot just below the summit is 20 feet higher than the very top of Pikes Peak.
Other than being reluctant to start at the summit and not wanting to idle (something to do with a lack of Oxygen maybe /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif ) the TR8 ran great the whole time.
TR8 just 134 feet shy of the very top of Mt. Evans. (it wouldn't fit on the 1/4 mile long hiking trail that took you the rest of the way up) /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
At the other end of the parking lot are the remains of a restaurant (it burned in 1979).
Looking out over Colorado from the top... You can see part of the road that brings you up here.
