ok... who's the wiseguy?......

Today.. about noon.. a split bus on a trailer heading South down the 97 to the #5 from Salmon Arm.. either into Loops or down to Van.
Couldn't tell you anything more about it as it was heading opposite direction. Saw it in my rear view. Was a primer-sage green covered in a giant tarp with the nose sticking out.

Orange super, looks to be in good shape, has passed me twice this week between Whis and Squamish. Sadly, I've been in my pickup both times.

V8 Bus was apparently spotted in Squamish this weekend.

Marina Blue 72 Super on 12th Av in E Bby.  Very well restored, but if this is your car, you should buy new front tires.  What's on there is a death trap, they're so badly cracked.

Okanagan Falls to Penticton. I was followed in my 65 bus by a Dove blue early bay double cab, it was stock and really clean but the 2275 showed him who's boss. He headed off towards Kelowna. Anyone on here?

Three Beetles in a field north of Kelowna yesterday.  One was Marina Blue, so 71-74.  I will have a closer look maybe next year.

As I was leaving  the swap meet yesterday, stopped to turn onto 176th st, a Kelmark GT went by!  That is the first time I have ever seen one actually running.
