Cat's Eye: 23rd annual Vega Club Picnic
It’s the time of the year when collector car owners everywhere pull out the Turtle Wax to polish their chrome for show-and-shine events. Recently, a small group of enthusiasts gathered in North Vancouver to toast one of the rarer breeds of automobiles. The Lower Mainland Vega Club got a perfect sunny day for its 23rd annual Vega Club Picnic event at Waterfront Park. And as they popped their hoods and fired up the grill, it was only a matter of moments before classic car lovers started to appear with their cameras to snap photos with some of the sexiest car models from the 1970s.
