Wiring looks better than the Triumph's we've seen around here lately, so there's that!

Hey cosmetic fixes are only coming after Safety

Sweet little MGB! Working reverse lights ... but was it in reverse?

[Arthur Dent]

I believe the MG B was reversing after a spot so the lights worked!

I forgot to finish off the photos.




Small town gas station called 2 Pump Paul's





Unexpected complement from an unexpected source







We stayed in historic Ymir Hotel on the very first GBC.





Nelson, BC



A very Nelson vehicle.



Bridge out of town.

Heh, must have been an interesting parking lot first thing in the morning

It was an early morning to catch the ferry. This Koolbus sells shirts and other tourist items but was not open yet.



The sun was just coming up at the Belfor docks.



The ferry docks were a lovely sight ...



... which we ruined with our clunkers.



There were a few normies and I cannot imagine what they thought was going on.



Others were afflicted with a dog along for the ride.





We got a position of pride at the front. Or maybe they just wanted us off as soon as possible.



Tradition (and points) dictated everyone do a Titanic pose.



The ferry has a vintage looking lounge.







A lovely winding road followed the ferry. Too bad about all the garbage cars cluttering the road.



A spot at "The Glass House" which is built from over half a million discarded embalming fluid bottles.

Lots of fruit stands in this area.



A cache of Land Cruisers.



My friend has a very rare Land Cruiser pickup. They had several here.





Back in Alberta. This is near where I broke my shoulder after coming off the motorbike several years ago.





A rather nice Nova greeted us when filling up with (comparatively) cheap Alberta gas.

These pictures are great. This event must be such a great time.

[Jaeger]

Other than costumes and a few things glued to the cars those "beaters" aren't much different that what you usually see roaming around the Kootenays.
