In September the “Sunday Drive” saw around two dozen members meet at Hamsterly Beach in preparation for a drive up the Saanich Peninsula to revisit the premises of Whiplash Customs. This was a repeat of a visit many years ago at the company’s former home.
The “new” Whiplash Customs features a 1950s style diner, complete with vintage style seating and a jukebox. Whiplash specializes in motorcycle and vintage gas pump restorations, as well as the occasional four-wheeled project. The period gas station accessories, oil cans and related memorabilia was particularly interesting.
With our thanks to the Whiplash owners, it was off for refreshments at the Waddling Dog Pub. Our appreciation to Robin and Sue Patterson for organizing the afternoon’s activities. And thanks to Geoff Cramb for the report and to Glen Fraser for the photos.
