Hidden behind a bush, there’s graffiti over the wildly painted Elements store in Ganges. Art or no?

This is sort of the flip side of yesterday’s photo.
“Driven a Ford lately?” and “Quality is Job 1” come to mind on this “Island car”. Also a real do-it-yourself-maintenance is apparent. And there’s no need to waste precious water on washing this beast…seen parked in downtown Ganges.

There they were, two hot cars baking in the sun.
Quick, up the drawbridge. Things are getting out of control here. An H2 Hummer and a Porsche 911? Seriously? OK, I’ll admit to being curious about the Hummer; be fun to take the original Hummer off-road in the backwoods of the BC Interior. And as some of you know Porsche has always been high on my lust list.
But here on the Island I can’t imagine two more impractical vehicles.
(If you need a place to store that good old Targa, I’d be happy to look after it for you.)

There are lots of sheep in the area (featured this April on Salt Spring Photos: lambs and Saltspring Portrait)

If you are having a yacht, you might as well not mess around. And while I’m no judge of large powered boats, I think this is a good one. It’s a Lazzara and looks fast tied up at the main dock in Ganges.
Salt Spring sees quite a few big boats stop in at Ganges in September on route way to Desolation Sound.
