...it just doesn't do it justice how gnarly and steep it is. Would never get built now a days...

When i 1st moved up here, Millstream Rd past the speedway was much the same.

thanks for the video, Ryan. I usually take a lot of pictures, but for some reason didn't do that this year.
Guess I'll just have to recall from memory.

ps - I've been looking at TMM and TM designs for the Peerless and HiVi drivers, and tossing around some ideas. hmmm. . .

Well I never...

Lookie what showed up right outside our gate. Funny though, the Children's Wish Foundation said it was going to be wrecked and sold for parts.

I don't get it. Is that your old truck? Never thought you'd see it again?

 

[chrisb]

indeed - Cal, feeling a bit nostalgic are ya?

Like I told Sue the other day - whatever the charity / good cause - once you donate the disposition is up to the recipient.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Yes after thinking about it, it should have been obvious that the Children's Foundation wasn't going to do the wrecking but that it was sold to a wrecker who realized it was still a fine roadworthy truck.

Yes Ryan. Here it is loaded up and heading off a couple years back. The funny thing is, it showed up just feet away from where you see it on the truck. What are the chances of that?

 

[tuxedocivic]

Chances seem oddly slim. Maybe someone trying to entice you to want your truck back and make a sale

 

[chrisb]

Well, apparently the likelihood is 100% - at least once .

Ryan, many thanks for the video. I wasn't able to attend this year, but watching it brought back happy memories. Hoping that it works out next time!

Dave,

Looks like something I'll have to attend one year when I get around to moving out the island, maybe 2019. Where's the pics and video so I can see what you guys get up during this get together.

 

[chrisb]

Starts here - no videos as far as I recall 15th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST-2018

Oh I thought in one post Dave said he didn't like videos but this one was good, thanks.
