10 days driving Sunshine Coast and up and down Vancouver Island in a rental G20 330i
Last week I completed a 10 days trip driving up the Sunshine Coast and then up and down the length of Vancouver Island. Although Vancouver is still "home", I personally live and work in Ontario now, so when I take leave and come back here I normally have no access to a car. So ever since shipping my vehicle over I have not been able to take the ferries and drive on some of my favorite roads. This summer block leave I decided to make use of the same company that I rented an M850i Gran Coupe for 17 days in Germany with, they happened to have a small presence here in Vancouver. I picked up a G20 330i xDrive from them for my trip, and here are the pictures embedded from my Google Photos albums. Camera setup is a Canon EOS R8 + Canon RF 24-70mm L IS USM.
The pickup in Vancouver: Horseshoe Bay to Sechelt and Pender Harbour in Sunshine Coast's south coast: Earls Cove to Powell River in Sunshine Coast's north coast: At the end of Highway 101 at Lund then down by Powell Lake: Powell River Historic Townsite: In the City of Powell River: Onto Vancouver Island, driving from Comox to Gold River: From Campbell River up to Port Hardy with stops at Sayward and Port McNeill: Driving back down to Nanaimo via Woss: Driving from Nanaimo to Victoria via the Pacific Marine Circle Route, with stops at Lake Cowichan, Fairy Lake, Port Renfrew, Jordan River and Esquimalt Lagoon in Colwood: Final day of the trip, visiting a trio of National Historic Sites of Canada: Fort Rodd Hill, Fisgard Lighthouse and Hatley Park, then taking MV Queen of New Westminster back to the Lower Mainland: |

Excellent photos & mineral grey is a great color. I want to take a big road trip too. But I wouldn't wash the car until it was back home & could be gently washed by hand. The front windshield would have to be washed daily though. LOL
