dear syncronicety
isnt it wonderful that western canada has become a used car lot for japan
imagine if we could import westies by the boat load...
these Mitsubishi wheels are neat looking
the driver of one told me he wanted a westy but could not afford it ...
go figure...
lately the insurance corp of bc locally known as ickybic-ey (ICBC)
has begun to raise hackles due to the right hand drive these vehicles
sport...
(read people buy for novelty and dont learn to drive the peculiarities as
such... )
so one of two things will occur...
the insurance sost will go crazy and make them un-affordable ]or they will
succeeded in stopping the import...
glad you enjoyed victoria ...
come with your westy some time ...
the island is fun
but taking the ferry to powell river more so .. ;o)
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
