Sooo some of you know that my absolutely favourite YouTube channel is ColdWarMotors. I have linked to that channel several times in the past here, so I assume at least some of you are familiar with it. Anyway one of the regulars on the show actually owns a SAAB similar to the ones that Don has. And given that Don has a lot of extra parts, he contacted Stephen on the show to see if he might be interested. And he was...
So Stephen made the trek out from east of Edmonton to check out Don's parts car SAAB, and he liked what he saw and bought it. So Don asked him if he would like to visit an avid viewer of the channel (namely me). And he did! We had quite the BS session about the show and cars in general. His Econoline has been on the show many times in the past and has an interesting history. It features the mighty 300 six, and three on the tree. And just broken in with a paltry 500,000 km or so on the odo. Originally from California, this vehicle was rust free and had original paint in nice shape when he got it. That original paint did not like the Edmonton weather, and just shattered apart at 35 below zero... Kind of reminds me why I live on the island...
Anyway it was fun meeting someone from my favourite show, and it was nice to know that it is entirely unscripted and everyone involved is exactly like they appear to be in real life. Which is in part why I enjoy watching it in the first place. Hope Stephen made it safely back home with the SAAB in tow...
