Our August Sunday Drive included a visit to a significant landmark with Central Island OECC club members, followed by a barbecue generously hosted by members Geoff and Donna Moyse.
We met up with Central Island members at the Kinsol Trestle parking lot after which the group made its way to the trestle itself. Those who had not previously visited the site were very impressed. The view from the trestle was remarkable and many photos were taken.
Following that, a short drive took us to the Moyse’s property where other OECC members, along with some from the Victoria Jaguar club, had already arrived. We were serenaded by a three-piece musical trio, along with a tour of Geoff’s large collection of Jaguars. Many thanks to Geoff and Donna for a very enjoyable afternoon.

It is hard to believe that the Oak Bay Collector Car Festival celebrated its 26th anniversary on Sunday, July 19. Started by local restaurant owner Ken Agate, the Festival has developed to become the premier collector car show in Victoria.
Open to any special interest vehicle, the show has always featured a wide variety of cars, trucks and motorcycles. Special mention must be made of the willingness of the Mayor and Council of the District of Oak Bay, as well as both local residents and businesses, for their willingness to support the event. The closure of much of Oak Bay Avenue allows the public easy access to this unique show.
Our thanks go to the organizers of the event, including the OECC South Island Branch’s own Chris Beresford. Months of planning and a large number of volunteers on the day itself resulted in an exceptional show. We look forward to the next one!

Father’s Day dawned as another beautiful day to start summer 2026, and the sounds and sights of British cars arriving at Beacon Hill Park reminded us of how fortunate we are to live on Vancouver Island.
A steady stream continued through to 10:00am when most of the field was occupied.
Our thanks go out again to Bruce Cornfield and Jim Walters for making this such a success – now for over four decades.
