That bus is bad-ass! I used to work with a guy who had a flat deck cab over that body style. You hardly ever see em around

Those are some great pics! Thanks for sharing!

There was a super nice 71 Chalenger there but I couldn't get my camera out in time. Chalenger sounded like in had the same cam as my cuda. Lucky for him it was cool out or had a good trans cooler.

Weather was brisk and windy You can see some wearing down jackets, others in shorts and at least one was in a wet suit I'm sure.

geezer#99 · 07-26-2012, 11:41 PM

The tourists were wearing the down jackets. The locals wear shorts year round. Temp was likely about 20 C or 65 to 70F. Every night there's a few cars cruisin' round the harbour. Another year round thing. There's a guy up island who drives his 29 RPU come rain or shine.
If anybody wants to come up here's a link to car stuff.

I here ya meter. Ferry cost makes you think twice. 160 bucks return no matter what route you take. I hear Anacortes to Sidney is quite nice. Maybe this fall we'll go!
As for Victoria weather. Generally July, August and September usually in the 20 to 30's.
That's 70 to 85 F for you non metric peeps. Not too hot!! Not too cold! Always bring your rain gear or umbrella though!!

bouncytruck · 07-28-2012, 10:43 AM

Nice pictures. Victoria is a great little town.

That green car looks like an Austin. My dad had one as his drag car when I was a baby. His had a turbocharged 170 slant six.

Did you stop at Sam's Deli for a Shrimp sandwich? They pile on the shrimp and when you think there's no way they can get more shrimp on it thee scoop two more handfuls on. If not you might consider heading back up there! They are so good. http://www.samsdeli.com/about-sams-deli.php

geezer#99 · 07-28-2012, 01:22 PM
