coupe #16 Road Trip & Pictures

[David Williamson]

I had my coupe in Calgary to get some clear film put on to protect the paint and last weekend we picked it up and did a trip to Banff. Our son does marketing for a high end dealer in Calgary and they have a fancy photo booth in the basement so we took the car in and took a lot of pictures. The booth is all white with LED lights and a remote controlled turn table to get the car pictures from every angle.
Round trip from our house to Banff is about 600 miles so the car got a good long run. We are having some what for us is really hot weather and the drive home with the AC on was HOT when it is mid/high 90F outside the coupe AC is not quite enough.
We had 2 cars and long story I missed a turn to the hotel so I arrived 10 minutes after my wife, the bell guys at the door told my wife that I really know how to make an entrance.
Some pictures from the photo booth and one of me driving in Banff.

I really like the look of the car and it's even better seeing it on the road. Great job! Makes me want to get mine on the road that much sooner.

Looks fantastic! Some day I’ll get to Banff. My friend went there for an insurance conference and the pictures were stunning.

Very nice. Love the pictures. Have to agree with you on the A/C. It works. But on really hot days doesn't exactly freeze you out. About what I expected when I saw the size of the evaporator that just fits into the available space. Still glad I put it in though.

Beautiful. Some mountain roads would make for some fun driving. Thanks for sharing.

I saw a build at Henry's shop that had a piece of plexiglass or some other material behind the seats that closed off the cabin making it a much smaller area to cool without any visibility or room restrictions.
I thought it was a nice modification.

I did see a post about putting a plexiglass sheet behind the seats and I am thinking about doing it. I did get the back window tinted and I am sure it helps, the hatch area under the glass gets really hot with the sun shining on it.
Normal Summer days here are under 80F and right now we are getting high 90's, with no clouds and 17 hours of sunlight per day it is hot
