Town centre planned for area around new Cowichan hospital

We always went for country drives on Bell McKinnon Road. There was one spot that had a big dip so my mum would purposely speed up and give us a roller coast ride. My parents' best friends owned the old Chevron at the corner of Herd Road and the highway. I think when he gave it up to the Min. of Transport around 1980 he got about $100 000 for the property, a lot in those days.

We used to do this near Camosun Interurban?  Hector Road maybe?   Big jump opportunity.  Sparky?

^ You might be thinking about the big dipper at Viaduct and Interurban a bit north of Hector. Quite the ride if you get going fast enough.

There was also a nifty one that I think has been leveled out now on Beaver Lake road between the lake and West Saanich. More of a quick unsuspecting lift off if you were headed towards West Saanich. 

We broke a 4 door hardtop on that one once when we had all the doors open during the launch phase.

The doors never closed properly after that.

That's it!  

i can assure you, we took this bump at several times that warning speed limit sign.

All the doors open?

We heard a rumour that a procedure such as this with a four door hardtop might bend the frame…..it did.

I'm just assuming it wasn't your car.
