Nancy said the same thing! So the next night we drove by Richards and Davie and didn't see one!

What's up with that? Nancy said they must all be in "Slurrey" these days...

Guys in Ferraris should scout on Richards Street, that's where all the high-class (read: $$$) whores are...

Oops! Didn't look at the year, just the day...Hey, after I left your place and was trying to find my way to Nancy's, I ended up on East Hastings, which is a good landmark for me...Had several druggie types try to get my attention in the 328. Some Vancouver PD cops pulled along side me and gave me the once over, probably thought I was out scouting for hookers! :-)

Actually Dave, these are the pics from last year's drive, this year's is still on my camera... But will post them here eventually (maybe even later this afternoon). Yes, this is the Hastings community centre just up the street from the PNE. I wasn't too pleased with the fact that this year's drive went through Downtown Eastside. The bums and the drug addicts had big grins on their faces as we drove by though, so I guess it wasn't that bad...

Its really strange (thankfully so), but we never got that severe weather you guys had. Sure, it rained a bit, but no winds, we had power all night, etc...

Nice pics, looked like a nice day for a drive! Looks like you are parked somewhere near the PNE grounds, I can see the Ferris wheel in the background.

We've been suffering one storm after another here in Seattle...

I plan to go out for drive this afternoon regardless, though it has been dry so far...

I finished off the holiday season with this drive. I'm a member of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, Vancouver Chapter and this was the final drive of the year.

We enjoyed beautiful weather driving through Stanley Park and Downtown Vancouver. It was a sedate drive, but I gave myself some room to stretch out a bit. Good fun. I'm the odd-man out in this club as most cars are vintage/antique, but everyone welcomes me and the Ferrari (I spice things up a bit).

Enjoy the photos!
