Default Paisley, Ontario 1976

Paisley Ontario was host to Ontario, Canada's first ever military vehicle rally. I was a wee lad of 16 at the time and took these photographs with big eyes and big dreams.

Although I had already bought my first MV by then (a Canadian contract MB from a classified ad in the Toronto Star for $350), it was seeing CMPs and carriers, and hob-nobbing with pioneers like Don Smith, Bill Beardmore, Brian Asbury and Steve Alford that really set me on my course.

Within two years of the show I had bought Dennis Cardy's C15A wireless, traded the MB away for an 11 cab F15A and was co-owner of the Mk.1* Bren Carrier which I still own (now outright) today.

The show lead me down a path of acquaintances and friends which has been incredibly rich and fulfilling and that I hope can last for many years to come.
