  I remember when I hauled lumber from up the Gaspe. It's pretty & rugged. The north shore reminds me of the new Ice Road Truckers. You have a 400 ft. cliff above you on one side & the other side is about 20 ft. above the St Lawrence River.
  It is great to see people & their bombers from all across the country & abroad. Hopefuly we will see today how he has his power steering hooked up.

                                                                                                            A Proud Ol' Trucker

Hi there, does anyone have any photos of Bombardiers from Quebec with a C or SN plate attached? I am a license plate collector and interested in these license plates, which are specific to Bombardiers.

  It looks like we should have lots of pics of the St. Raymond rally & maybe a new member. I got another email from Larry Simard. I'm glad to see more people from Quebec becoming more interested in our group. It looks like a win, win situation.

Salute CLAUDE thank you to answer me,the c-18 probably will be sale this week-end at st-raymond one guy is very interested,. thank you for your offer.For sure l am gone send you some pictures when l come back from my trip.Have a good week-end CLAUDE.          LARRY

I would be grateful if anyone who goes to that rally in Quebec could check for any machines with license plates and to get photos of these plates. Especially the C plate with December sticker.

I realize plate collecting may seem odd, but it's a hobby I am quite passionate about and I've always found it weird that there are special plates for Bombardiers. Hoping the fine folks on this forum can share some as outlined in my other posts.

Take care and happy motoring!

   Here is a new pic from Rattleman. By the way Rattleman I sent an invitation to Allen today, to visit our group. I hope we get them to join & share their experiences with us.   

   Here is a note from Rattleman explaining what the pic is about.
 
  Hi Claude take a look to that picture
It's a 1948 c-18 on the main street of my village in 1949 or 1950
