    Does anybody remember that guy from England who was up in Canada. He bought a mid 80's Mercury Colony Park or Ford Country Squire and was going to drive across Canada and sell the car at the end of the trip. I searched for his posts, but I can't find it. Just curious what happened to him and if we wound up selling the car or driving it into the ocean.

    Sweet baby Jeebus this Canada sounds like a pretty rough and tumble place. Here's hoping he made it home alright and not carjacked and either left on the side of the road for dead or sold into slave labor.

    I imagined that he made it all the way to the Rev's house, got confused with all the traffic in the back yard and has never been seen again.:D

    Rev, go back there and check if you see a late model CP back there amongst the falcons....:biglaugh:
