One might start to get suspicious about the true nature of these so-called “safety meetings”

This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Haha.....Happy New Year my friend! Snow is long gone here and I'm actually going dirt biking today with Rob (AZR) and a couple of other buddies.
Remember what I was saying about the eccentric collectors and collections on the Island? Well I got an invitation to see something very special in nearby Sooke.
First an article about the man
https://www.vicnews.com/life/in-love-with-classic-cars/
Among the cars Forbes is most proud of is his Canadian-only 1958 Pontiac Parisienne convertible and matching American-built 1958 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, which is awaiting restoration. Although both cars look alike, they are very different. The Parisienne was built in Canada on a Chevrolet platform, borrowing its frame and mechanical components from its sister car. The American Bonneville is larger because it is built on an Oldsmobile platform and is powered by a unique and much larger 371 cubic inch engine. Forbes’ rare example has factory tri-power carburetion. Ted Forbes bought his first car at the age of 14. Growing up on a farm in Souris, Manitoba, he loved machinery and cars specifically.

Lol…agreed! Not my style at all… I liked the truck the most. But I can appreciate the cars for sure.
Vancouver Island would seem to have more vintage vehicle enthusiasts per capita than anywhere else on the planet. Except maybe Cuba?
I've noticed that myself .... A quarter of the size of the UK and less than 900.000 people a large number of who are vintage motorcycle and car collectors ..... A fair number with deep pockets ..... I don't know what is in their air but it must be " vintage " oxygen ........
I think the fact that we have so many people from other parts of Canada that end up retiring here because of the climate...we get guys with money (because we know it ain't cheap to live here) that were maybe collecting already, decide to up their game while here....and as Cipher says, no salt and rusting vehicles helps.....plus the island is for sure known to attract the weird....I mean I'm here....Lol
