Bring that 993 to NS and we can get a group to do the trail again together either this fall or next summer. It is a fantastic drive. The picture above is taken 1/2 way down the North side of North Mountain the tallest on the trail. Must have been monkeys who hacked out that first road with all the winding turns up and down both sides. . . check your brakes before making this drive. . .

Cheers
Lloyd

How soon till your gonna do this Justin?

searched...and read everything from Garth's beginning. Taking the car back in for a minor rear total toe adjustment on Thursday, and thinking it's time to do this mod also.

Don't imagine I can coordinate a 4 1/2 drive and pin fest with Justin...so please add me to the list to receive the jig, please.
The goal is to get it done this weekend

I can't make any road trips this weekend...getting drunk with friends tonite, wife gone for the day Saturday, and off to get a new foo-foo dog for the daughter on Sunday.

well, we can probably kill two birds with one stone here...and probably even more beers than birds during the pin exercise.

who's next in line for the tool? Are there still 3-4 kits roaming the surface of the earth?

If a tool starts this way up to Oneida, NY then it is easy to send it on to Halifax after you are finished so let me know when and where the tool is so we can have some idea when this may happen.

I have not seen a list so don't really know where we stand.

The jig has left boston and is on the way to Nova Scotia. I had to fill out a customs form for it. Considering how valuable this tool is to us all I listed the value at $38,000. I hope there are no taxes due.

Also -
Very cool that Garth S made these jigs.
Great to get a free/cheap mod once in blue moon
Steering absolutely feels more precise

If the jig is on Canadian soil, could I have it shipped to Ottawa?

I'm hoping to coordinate a Maryland road trip with the jig...and a $hit load of beer. Date and time frame when narrowed down, in case anyone else wants in.

Busy family weekend coming up, with out of towners coming in...and Andreas is currently on a road trip. Anyway, the jig will probably be in my grubby little hands on Thursday...I'll try to turn it around as soon as possible.
