This is a great thread. I remember a lot of the things mentioned so far since I moved here in '73 from the island.
Anyone remember Zim's Speed Shop that used to be on Joyce street? One of my fav places to buy parts for my Chevy van. Van's were all the rage in the 70's and I had the drivetrain built up so much that I was getting second gear rubber with the automatic. I spent many friday and saturday nights crusing Kingsway and downtown.
How about Mother Tuckers down by Stanley Park?
One thing I have to remember is to talk to my Dad and get some of the stories that he has about living in Vancouver back in the fifties. He has never mentioned it but I think he has a bit of a storied past judging from things I've heard from other people.
MG1, do you know any of the people that lived in the Raymur projects? I used to hang around there a bit back in the 70's because I had friends living there. We got into building cars and then motorcycles back then.
