Spotted these in Toronto last week. Unfortunately I could not stop to say hi.
Do they belong to any of our members?

| Where abouts in Toronto was that? If it's a private residence, they have damn good taste in vehicles. |

Not really sure. I was on a chartered bus that took a wrong turn. It was maybe 10-15 min from Queens Park on the normal city streets, not on the express or collectors. We were heading down from Barrie.

| that's right downtown somewhere, from the building around it I'd guess it's either a downtown lot or some commercial parking. Maybe they were used in a commercial/movie shoot? |

Somebody Google Map "Street View" it! If they've been there awhile you might be able to see them... |

yes that's it.
peter's son vaso is mostly in charge of things these days and there doesn't seem to much of a push to do aircooled work there any longer. that's OK for germansupply because it leaves us as the only aircooled-only shop in the greater toronto area. we're not far from peter's garage and it's a neighborhood i've lived in or close to for about 25 years, like i can walk to the location of that photo in about 6 minutes from my house.
when i had my first bus, in 1984, i took it to peter for repairs, then quickly realized if i was going to drive an old bus i would have to learn how to repair it. peter is a genuine character, will get drunk with you any day, any time of the day, will tell you stories until you beg him let you leave, and his shop does good work. times have changed but i still see peter around there sometimes.
