Return of the Valiant
Weather cleared up yesterday so we took it out for a drive around UBC and got a couple more pics…
It’s ok that I was triple parked. Nobody else was in the lot.
Actually the guy in the Volvo did make a comment…
The dashboard…pretty basic.
The seats… this is where we sit.
Hey ladies… goin’ my way?
Actually to be honest I’ve been told that old cars like these are the opposite of chick magnets. The only people who pay any attention to you are older men. Which is unfortunate because they’re usually into cars and will very quickly trip me up with any kind of question beyond “What kind of car is it?” (answer: Valiant — it says it on the side) or “What colour is it?” (answer: green). The compression ratio, displacement and bore stroke are not things that concern me… so please don’t ask.
Heartless Bastards, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Thee Oh Sees, The Rolling Stones, Dr. John, The Sheepdogs, The Black Angels, The Greenhornes, Eric's Trip, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, The Telepathic Butterflies, Blitzen Trapper, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The Kinks 
what, no 8 track?
Stick shifts and safety belts,
Bucket seats have all got to go…
that’s one sweet ride brother!
