So on the 1st i decided was gonna pack my sh@t into my svt and drive out west. 2 Days through ontario what a beautiful province. Saskatchewan and manitoba have a 110km/h speed limit. Which was nice. Then came Alberta/BC, the mountains r incredible beautiful to look at and equally as fun to navigate through. I now live all the way out in Victoria no longer Ottawa and will be looking to get connected with some local enthuiast if there r any?

P.S. I drove by myself and wouldnt of had it any other way i suggest doing it

I'd suggest that it is more fun with a gorgeous blond co-ed but that could just be me? ;)

yup the Island is the best part of BC, I would recommend going up to the N.W part of the Island...very nice. Plus there is the giant tree that you can drive your car through ( its part of an old road)

I miss driving out west.... not to mention all the fun stuff to do along the way.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
