Ya know, since this is an Ontario Forum, it'd be nice if members put down the name of their city or town instead of just :Ontario" It would help with making decisions on whether to contact someone regarding a sale item and other things that wouldn't compromise anyone's privacy

Just got word that the Piston Pushers are re-hanging their old sign on the old building between Brantford and Ancasteron old hwy 52. Apparently they are gathering at noon on Saturday, Oct 6th.

A few years ago I met a fellow at an Ancaster Swap meet. He said he had a letter from Ministry of Transportation regarding fenders on hot rods and tractors. He claimed it stated fenders were NOT required due to some consideration of tractors operating on highways. If hot rods were forced to have fenders...
I know this was buried in another thread but some of us may have missed it. Norwood's usually a decent turnout if it's dry and warm! http://www.norwoodfair.com/cars.html
Does anyone know what I need to do to trade a car from Canada for a car in the US. Both cars are over 20 years old and have to be trailered across the border. Thanks GARY
Now that the flury, or maybe the 'fury' of the emmissions fiasco has died down a bit, I'll present this information. I came across some info on the various emmission sub systems. Toyota it seems is a bit more 'giving' with info that is needed, and understood by the lay person, they also are big on school...

Someone was asking about POR 15 a while ago - I picked up a supposedly equivalent product and thought I'd share my thoughts on what NOT to do. I picked up DOM16 which is made by a Canadian company @ half the cost. I applied it for the first time yesterday and was VERY DISAPPOINTED. I followed the instruct...
