Rusty orange 73 std seen commuting on Kingsway in Bby heading east from Nelson.  Seen him about 4 times now.
I keep seeing this same car.  Looks like he keeps wrecking it a bit more every time I see it.

Today at 4:30 at 208 st. and 51 ave in Langley, saw a really nice orange bug (early-mid 60's) lowered with the body dechromed and had a "W" decklid, with standoffs, that had been completely smoothed. Rolling on empi 5 spokes (I think). Sounded pretty good too. This is one I've never seen before.

Coming back form a weekend of run riding, I came across a blue Type 3 Ghia today on number7 possibly heading to Harrison. The car had no front bumper, which seemed to be part of the look and was lowered, but that's all I could see as being on a bike, I would have probably crashed into it if I had kept looking. :D
NICE CAR!

EDIT: aaaand I just saw it in the Boston Pizza album, so it was on it's way back. LOLZ  :angel:

This morning at 7am merging onto hwy 1 westbound at 264 was a bright red bug that appeared to be a 70's model that has been made to look like an early 60's model. Had early turn signals, bumpers, fenders, tinted windows, those little black turbo mirrors, polished empi 8's and was lowered.

Was it this one? http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/cto/1261790110.html

If so I think it is Ray's (Harold's son that owns the military 181).

Intermechanicca builds their version too.

I've seen a Beige and beige Kubelwagen many times over the last few years. I always see him near Commercial and 12th with BC plates.
