I almost forgot all about this.  Town had the fall supper on Sunday, and there was all these fancy classic British cars sitting outside.  Wonder if they made it home or they just broke down 100 km from Wpg.  Convenient if it happened at this very spot. Good food while they dream of fixing whatever electrical gremlin got them caught up in this small town in the first place... ;) ;D

Didn't get a picture because I was in motion on Hwy 6, but..

Saw a newish 911 aboard a flatbed with seriously char-broiled hindquarters.
Somebody's flat-6 burned real good.

The yellow one is a Triumph GT6. Based on the Spitfire but with a hard top, 2L inline six (very similar to the TR6 unit) and uprated suspension and brakes. Sort of like a mini E-Type coupe.

I like the Lotus too. Very rare to see an Elcat/Elite/Excel these days.

I always liked the look of those Lotus'. More fragile than Trump's sanity though.

Great group of cars.  The GMC must be the support vehicle. :)

I hope Dex is doing well.

Does it have Ontario plates?  Usually it's Germans who undertake such round the world mega camper trips.  Also intersting as it's based on a Mercedes truck model that was never sold in Canada/USA.

Mmmmm Ducati 899 Panigale...... :lick:

Not sure the purpose of such a bike around the coastal région though. It's all flat and straight here.

As seen in Fast and Loud. 

My b.i.l is a mechanic in Alberta and was asked to do an Out of Province inspection on it.  Indicated it failed, and that it will never pass inspection due to the hack job on the structure of the car.  For Off-road purposes only.

I saw two Fisker Karma's on the weekend. Not the same car, one was white and the other was dark grey/black.

Pretty tough to get any really modified car through an AB out of province.



Modified Nissan 240SX with what looked like turbo plumbing sticking out of the hood. The front wheels had a ton of camber of them. Rear wheels didn't have a pile of camber but maybe he's working on it.
