CBC Ottawa news story about the trauma of viewing HMVs

[r.morrison]

Many years ago, I owned a 45 GPW, which I adored driving in downtown Vancouver. It was always a show stopper. One day, while being front and centre at an intersection, waiting for a red light, a Volkswagon window bus made a turn into the intersection and long haired ....yes I gotta say it "hippie type" screamed out at me"The War's Over". Luckily being stopped, I grabbed the windshield, hauling myself up, with both middle fingers standing at attention, shouted back" F'You Jack! And very much to my surprise, I received a virtual standing ovation via clapping and horn honking from those others waiting there for the the light to turn green, including people on the sidewalk.
One of my prouder moments in this hobby......Robert
