I grew up in Eastern Canada and lived in Alberta for 16 years, so I can relate to iced over windshields and enduring salty slush on cars all winter long. Solve that problem 23 years ago when we moved to the southern US. Currently in southern Georgia and if it snows down here, they shut down the roads until it melts away. Plus you would not want to be on roads with other drivers who have never seen or driven in snow.

2 out of 3 isn't too bad.

Bought caster bushings from Cervelli for my GT3 lower control arms. I bought them used, so I had to repair/chase the threads on the ball joints and then remove some of the shims on them. I may install them later today. Also lined up a set of axles to take apart so I can delete the front diff and do a rwd conversion, while keeping all the parts to put it back in if I want.

I like those seats I sold you. The leather is nicer on those than the ones currently in my car, but mine are powered, heated, creased...so I couldn't say no to crests and a warm tush.

I look forward to taking my pound of flesh at a later date...

'Pound of flesh...'

Indeed.

Going to start re hydrating them today!

Methanol is a friend of those in the north.


Man, you Canadians have to put up with a lot of extremes. I'm sure I've still got at least 30 days 996 driving with ok'ish weather. There's plenty of meth in the car too

Only those of us foolish enough to leave the relative mild climate of the SW coast...

I do like the sound of that 4.0l.
