Population, no. But Victoria has the hightest concentration of millionaires=
 per 100,000 population in Canada, and (or at least, it used to be) the=
 second hightest in North America.  It's the money that does it!

When I ran my shop, I could count at least 22 customers that drove RR's=
 that I knew about.  Long ago, I even got to borrow one for a "spin around=
 the block".  Their advertising campaign that "at 60MPH the loudest sound=
 you hear is the ticking of the clock" is true.. at least at town speeds.=
  Very nice.

To be fair, the Victoria dealership is a small place that repairs and=
 sells, but does not stock. They sell few enough that it doesn't warrant=
 stocking cars. I understand, however, that they do a fairly good trade in=
 them.

Hey!  Victoria has but one Leica dealership and they both operate the same=
 way. No stock.

Cheers!
