This mornings' downpour brought out the David Niven types!
As I looked out the kitchen window, I thought I was transported back a few years, and drawn into "Around the World in 80 Days", with the loveliest old British racing car in the drive, holding 2 handsome men. The passenger (John) jumped out and asked for a brief tour of the study. The driver (John's son, Duncan) parked the car and 'zipped' the cover over the cockpit and seats.
They explained the tour they are part of...
Dozens of similar cars, shipped to Vancouver from around the world, are involved in a 3 - week tour from Vancouver north to Dawson City and within the Arctic Circle. They traveled up through the Rockies, then back down to Vancouver via B.C.'s interior and secondary roads. Next, they drove to Vancouver Island, and have been up and down the island. Now on their way back to Vancouver (city), with stops to visit other car enthusiasts in Parksville (also on the island), these two fly-fishers decided to pull in here to visit Roddy's place.
It was all quite exciting, and I believe they left far too soon! Here's hoping they and the family can find time to return as guests and have a more in-depth tour.
