In Labrador, we love when we have these old used vehicles that we find that are still good. When they're tired of looking at it as an ornament in their back yard. But there is the odd time that they just want to sell it and get rid of it. And sometimes they don't want to get rid of them. But you know what? In Labrador, everyone's got a vehicle stored away in their backyard that they hold a lot of sentimental value for. We're starting to see a lot of newer models now. Where are they all coming from?ĬB: There are quite a few vehicles. They were all dirt roads.ĪT: It seems like for a place as remote as North West River, you're able to find a lot of cars and trucks. You could drive a car as long as you had one, that's all. So there was no licence, registration, insurance, nothing needed on our side of the river. When we were small, when we were 15 years old, we had cars and we didn't even have to have a driver's licence in our town – because the town was divided by a river and you could only get over in a cable car. Hitting these jumps and these bumps, and, it was a lot of fun. Everybody would hop in and we would go around the pits. Drive them around and we used to do like derby cars. We used to buy cars and fix them up and we used to drive them up in the pits. I never told them (my parents) yet about that, so hopefully I won't get in trouble for it.

My parents were out of town, and I took this car for a ride with my buddies. I actually purchased a car for $200 off of a friend. What was it like when you first got started?ĬB: When we were 13 years old, when we were in high school. That I traded for a motorcycle that I had.ĪT: Now, you've both been big into cars for a very long time. Ross Humby: My first car was probably an old Chevy Vega. So yeah, that 1973 Dodge Charger was definitely my first one. I basically bought it just to say I owned a car.

But there was a lot of other good parts on it. And I wanted to rebuild it, but it just had a little too much rust.

We talked cars with Collin Baikie, shop owner and pro-MMA fighter, and Ross Humby, gas bar manager and professional scrounger.ĪutoTRADER.ca: Tell us about your first cars.Ĭollin Baikie: My first car was, actually, I was 12 years old. In Season Two, airing now, they'll build a jet boat for search and rescue, a food truck boat, and a new way of handling roofing. In the first season, they built things like a school-bus-turned-performance-stage, an asphalt recycling truck, and a fan boat. That's what the crew of CRB Automotive does on Discovery's Last Stop Garage. Instead, you need to make it yourself using whatever you can find. You can't just order in a new piece of equipment, especially if you need it sometime within the year. When you're that far from civilization, you need to be a little more self-sufficient. North West River is about as far north as you can drive on the East Coast, and it's the end of the road. If you want to go to a city, you're looking at a plane trip. The nearest place of note is eight hours away by car, and the road that can take you there didn't even exist 15 years ago. It's a town, and we're using that term a little loosely, with fewer than 600 people residing there.
