Went for a short drive yesterday with some friends and had these photos taken.

Thanks, Brian, for having a cousin with amazing camera skills!




















If anyone's interested in getting vinyl wrap or 3M clear bra done on their car, get in touch with VR38GTR (Brian).

You guys are too hardcore with your meets up there. If it is too cold or wet, you head straight to the parking garage. LOL!

Actually, it was a really nice day in the early afternoon when we all decided to go for a drive, then an hr later it turned to **** and started to rain on the drive back into the city.

Memorable moments of that y-day when we got pulled over by the cops.

"Guys, where are all your front plates?"

"Who's D.W.? You've had quite the number of speeding tickets in the past"
-D.W's reply "I swear I didn't get in the last 6 months..."

"I know how facebook works! Do you have any pictures of me on that camera?"

Sorry, buddy, but it wasn't actually pre-arranged. We'll definitely do a proper meet and drive once the weather improves.

I'm tempted to believe that's for real. Afterall, if Hot Wheels can do it, I see no reason why AMG can't.

Well Vancouver Islands is still part of BC. Since Victoria is the capital of BC there are actually TONZ of attractions there.

Buchart Gardens
Museum *IMax*
The Minature Museum
Parliment Building
Wax Museum
ARBUTUS RIDGE (If your a golfer like me, then you'll definitely want to go there)

There are a lot more than that, but it really depends what your looking to do there. Is it more recreational or sight seeing?

I drive down there probably twice a year, usually because family members from overseas visit us. It is a great place to go if you've never been to Victoria. Overall, a good experience I must say!

If your going to stay in BC I recommend going down to the Okanagons. Don't know about you, but I LOVE wine. There are soo many different wineries there its ridiculous. I went down there a year ago, and went to MissionHills and baught 35 Cases of Merlot back with me in my trailer.

Anyways drive to both Vancouver Island and Okanagon is nice and relaxing, so ultimately it will all depend on what you really want to do there!

ShangoAshe: I have already been to Buchart twice from a cruise stop. My sister-in-law has never been there. We will be staying in Vancouver for 3 days and according to the ferry schedule, it seems that Victoria will be a all-day trip so we need to fill our itinerary. What kind of "miniatures" are in the miniature museum? Military? Trains? I think Sebring mentioned something about Okanagons when I was up in Vancouver last May. I will also be taking them up to Whistler.

Theres everything you can think of at the miniature museum. From war planes, to houses, trains, landscapes, etc... It really is a pretty cool place to go! If your going to be staying around Vancouver Island the whole day, your better off going during the weekend when street parking is free.

You can spend the time to walk around the downtown area *quite small really* and try to coordinate the tickets or what not throughout the day.

I've never tried Tapastree. At least I don't think I have. Anyone else tried it?
