LangfordB次元官网网址檚 sizeable classic car community is getting revved up for whatB次元官网网址檚 quickly becoming an annual tradition.

The sixth annual Langford Car Show is set to take place Sunday on Goldstream Avenue, with classic and muscle cars from 1975 and older scheduled to be on display. It has become an event to look forward to for Langford gearheads, who enjoy a certain sense of camaraderie with this shared interest.

B次元官网网址淗aving Western Speedway in Langford, that car culture has spilled over, not just with what goes on the track, but also into some classic cars and muscle cars, so we do have a lot of that,B次元官网网址� said show organizer Susan Queen, a manager with the City of Langford.

Entrants have even gotten creative in previous years, stretching the definition of classic cars to include tow trucks and fire engines.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 such a good community capturing event,B次元官网网址� Queen said.

Langfordite Greg Lyseng has regularly entered his 1928 Chevy street rod, a vehicle that he re-built over the course of two years.

HeB次元官网网址檚 had an interest in cars since the age of 12, when he was given a B次元官网网址渄eadB次元官网网址� 1949 Austin. Lyseng, now 65, set out to restore the car and get it running, with the only help coming from one of his classmates at school.

With some trial and error and a clear knack for restoring vehicles, Lyseng was able to get the Austin on the road, in a sense.

B次元官网网址淚 used to drive that around in the backyard between the fruit trees and then I moved on to more and more cars,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚n the last 25 years IB次元官网网址檝e been building them and selling them and moving on to another one.B次元官网网址�

Lyseng says the car culture in Langford and on the West Shore has grown over the years, and he regularly takes his car around to various organized events for classic car owners.

B次元官网网址淭hereB次元官网网址檚 different car clubs out here that have different functions. You can go to garage tours, organized wine tours, shop tours; thereB次元官网网址檚 always something to do with them, thatB次元官网网址檚 for sure.B次元官网网址�

His latest project is a B次元官网网址�68 Camaro RS, which he hopes to finish rebuilding later this year. He plans to enter the muscle car into a future edition of the Langford Car Show.

As for his next project after that, Lyseng hasnB次元官网网址檛 thought that far ahead just yet.

B次元官网网址淐ars seem to find me,B次元官网网址� he said.
