Veritable and The_Ng's Epic 2012 Island Trip - 3 days, 1657km, 100 pics and 11 vids

carmaniac88 · 10-31-2012, 05:18 PM

You guys were in Port Renfrew just a couple days before I was there! I didn't have my E36 M3 with me (work trip), but the rental 2012 Ford Focus I had was pretty good (haha)!

BC Hwy 14 was epic. I'm itching to try the other roads you went to! Great story!

PS I also keep seeing your car at Lansdowne!

i love the gloss black wheels on the white m3. they look so nice.

Very nice! Quick question, what's the front lip on the white M3? I went through the front lip thread but can't seem to find it.

I believe it's a replica of the GTS lip. Not sure who the manufacturer is but it definitely is the GTS design.

Fantastic thread, pictures and video clips ... thanks for sharing. Well Done

Bought back memories of my trips on the Island when I was in business and lived in Alberta ... I traveled many of the same trails, except for the coastal road, perhaps next year.

I added your thread on my signature link as Post # 57 ... so I can find it again in the future ....

Thanks for the reply. I am assuming it's the GTS without the bottom piece.

wow this is so nice... i've been to Nanaimo a few times for biz but never driven on V Island myself.

It must be so nice....

And fuel consumption is not bad!

This trip looked awesome, thanks for the pictures. Hope I can do one next year and take advantage of some of the roads we have up here in BC.
