Pushing too hard on the brake while doing big smokey brake stands?

??

Chris · « **Reply #454 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:07:40 PM »

yes too much REACTIVE braking versus PROACTIVE, sounds like your slalom days may be numbered if your basing it on the lifespan of your brake light switches!

it's the HIGH quality parts fault.

I think I saw Geevy on Wednesday about 6:00pm going north on Granville just past 64th.

If it was Geevy looks like he's lowered the the front end?

Saw a tidy early Bay bus on Johnston in White Rock this evening.

And . . . spotted the lowered off-white Bay, from the ad with the 5 spokes for sale, heading West on the No1 early this morning.

Yellow and white bay window in Maple Ridge at some tack and feed place. Slightly lowered.

pittwagen · « **Reply #467 on:** April 27, 2010, 10:22:39 AM »

Assuming you didn't confuse orange and yellow, there is actually a 4th bay window on the road over here in the Ridge? Maybe it's not as lonely as I thought. Kids stare like you are driving some kind of spaceship. Not all bad though. Got my first peace sign last week from some dude in a SUV. If the weather improves, maybe a few more will appear.

White 68-72 Bug convert heading east on Hastings at about Seymour today at lunch. A few seconds later a 66 Chevelle, 4dr hard top. Now that's one rare car!

Mtn biking up Burnaby mtn and came across a post '68 beetle in the bush. Just off Mel's trails. Looked like it had been rolled down the the hill. It was a long way from any road. Completely destroyed. Looked like it has been there a while.

Saw a beat early T3 SB heading east in Abby this morning. I would'a taken a pic, but that's illegal.

Silver Vanagon Double Cab out at Campbell River Store. Really nice shape but the owner looked all beat up

Glad to see you out and about ALP

That white Bug is nice!

Who took the picture of the blue one?

finkmobile · « **Reply #478 on:** June 01, 2010, 01:21:50 PM »

I keep seeing an orange and lighter orange baywindow parked on Main st close to the 7-11 or that weird Burgoo place. It reminds me of a tangerine.

BUSDADDY · « **Reply #479 on:** June 01, 2010, 05:11:01 PM »

Velvet green 66-67 Westfalia with an odd rack and BC plates northbound on 176st @ 8th, Tuesday around 4:30, looked good.
