Anyone with common sense can drive RWD all year round.

Stumbled on the fact that the guy around the corner from me (and my wife's colleague) sold his Land Rover Series II on BaT last year: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1958-land-rover-88-series-ii-4x4-4/

Great looking resto-mod.  The scenery isn't bad either.   ;D

There always seems to be a couple for sale somewhere in Canada.   
There's another in Grimsby Ontario, but with a Manitoba title.  Want it?

A friend of mine called me earlier today to tell me he bought two Prevost H5-60 bendy busses.  Not one. but two!!  :o

https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Prevost_Car_H5-60#:~:text=The%20Prevost%20Car%20H5%2D60,these%20buses%20are%20quite%20rare.

He retired last fall and has since been looking for a project to keep himself busy.  That shouldn't be a problem now...lol  One of them was converted to a motorhome by the former owner and needs some work, and the other was used for parts. 

He's got an ocean front property with a beautiful beach in Pointe Sapin NB and plans to set one up there as a cottage.  The area is just above sea level and prone to storm surge and is not the kind of place you'd want to build a permanent structure.  For the last several years he's had a travel trailer set up there on a permanent basis but it's getting worn out and he's been on the hunt for something else as a replacement. 

Craziest thing is that he's not the most handy guy i know.  Anyway, should be an interesting project!  ;D
