PLENTY OF CAR SHOWS AND RACES NEAR AND FAR THIS WEEKEND
Whether you choose to keep it local or hop on a ferry, there’s lots to see and do if you’re a roadster fan looking to go out this weekend
Lots of reasons to stay close to home and just as many to hop on a ferry this weekend.
Tonight there’s drag racing in Mission, including VWs, and make sure to buy some mini doughnuts from my buddy Barry. On the weekend there are many great car shows across Metro Vancouver.
I’m writing this from our hotel near the beach outside of Rome. I consider it that old ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ thing. Time to grab one of my boys and head to the drag races tonight!
